and concerns of the service were outlined in a memo from the Administrator dated
6/26/87. Mr. Thompson stated that because of changes in the industry, rates were
going to increase and the method of operation had to change. The Council first
centered the discussion on disposal methods after 1990. Robert Williamson updated
the council on the proposed co-compost plant and the status of the grant appli-

to cover increased landfill costs. Motion by Akin, second by Sprute to increase
solid waste service fees from $28.00 to $33.25/unit/quarter. APIF, motion carried.
The Council next considered the actual operations of the Solid Waste Department.

crew was stretched to the limits. Mr. Kaldunski noted that the street crew had
to assist on holiday schedules and breakdowns. It was the consensus of the
council as follows:
1. Eliminate the brush truck service after 1987.
2. Replace a rear loading packer with a side loader.
