If it is necessary, after Dec. 1, the city will be forced to clean up garbage piles that are left around town. The city will then bill the individual who is responsible for the garbage. The council also discussed the possibilities of having a city garbage-picku- p owned truck and having it pick up garbage at residences twice a week. Bud Nielson was .asked to write letters to inquire about garbage truck units and the price. Mayor Hurst said he hoped to have this information before their budget is made up for the next six months so they could allow for this item in the budget if they want to. The mayor pointed out that people couldnt possibly haul out their garbage twice a week for the small sum the city could haul all of it out. Councilman Glen Black reported about the exchange of police cars the city made w ith the eoun'y sheriffs office. The car the city now owns, which they got from the sheriffs office, had about 50,000 fewer miles on it than the city police car had. The sheriffs office wras going to trade their car in on a new one so Mayor Hurst and Councilman Black persuaded the county to trade cars with the city of Blanding. The trade was made car for car. |
