"We've had a lot of requests about this subject over the last year and a half. We've done cjuite a bit of homework" said Mayor Michael W. Daniels at Tuesday's City Council Coun-cil meeting. Tonight we're soliciting public input on this matter. The four recycling options are mandatory, manda-tory, opt-out, opt -in and no recycling. With mandatory, all residents would be required to pay the fee, but the rates would be the lowest. With the opt-out program, residents would have to inform the city that they do not want to participate. With ithe opt-in pro-gram, pro-gram, residents must let the city know that they do want to participate. Rough estimates of the cost to resident range from $6 to 'J per month in addition to their regular garbage collection bill. The cost is based on the number of participants the more participants, the lower the cost. There will not be a cost to residents for the recycling bins. 7 he program would accept all common recycle products except glass, electronic waste and green waste. Participants would not have to sort the recyclable materials into separate bins; all would be Hit into the same bin. Pick -up would occur every other week.

Ine Festival whkh was held in Pleasant Grove's Downtown Park, is a yearly tradition tradi-tion in the city. The Festival was a success," said Boyd "People kept asking what next year's theme will be."

Police Department has gone through some changes in the last couple of months, everything is going smoothly, according to Chief Tom PauL Paul spoke to the CMy Council at Tuesday's work session about the transition the Department made after Lindon formed its own department and stopped using Pleasant Grove's police services on July 1. "Morale is very high. Things are very good," said PauL According Accord-ing to Paul, six new officers have been trained and have received accelerated training. This is more extensive training than there has been in the history of the police department," said PauL The city had 33 officers before Union's departure and now has 25. Because they no longer patrol Lindon, the officers are patrolling a smaller area. Additionally, the new officers are training while on patroL "A kit of new guys are learning and that's where they learn on patrol," said PauL In July and August of this year, there were 25 more traffic stops by the city's police officers than in the same months last year. According to Mayor Michael W. Daniels, many citizens have commented com-mented about the increased traffic traf-fic stops in recent weeks. There is an advantage to patrolling patrol-ling a more condensed area and having officers out on the streets. , Because of the smaller patrol area and the new officers in training. there has been a decrease in traffic traf-fic accidents, said PauL In July and August, the department depart-ment received a total of 1805 calls, which is 675 less calls since July and August of last year when the department was aLso serving Lindon. For example, there have been 13 less disorderly disorder-ly conduct calLs, 99 less burglar alarms, one less forgery, four less harassments and four less nuisance calls. Alcohol offenses have increased, in-creased, however, with 13 more than in July and August of last year. There was also an increase in child abuseneglect calls, with eleven more than last year. DUIs have remained the same. "We anticipated a cut in calls by 33 percent, but it came closer to 27 percent," said PauL A lot of new guys are learning and that's where they learn patrol.
