Orem City called for the action because of possible public health problems related to the discarding of food and related items. The action allows the city to prohibit private carriers from collecting residential garbage in order that it be done in a systematic manner that will reduce potential health risks. Councilmember Stella Welsh said that in addition to the modif-cation modif-cation the public ought to be better educated about diaper disposal. She says she's tired of finding disposable diapers littering parking lots, streets, and loose in garbage cans. "I don't think our sanitation workers should be exposed to stuff like that either," she complained. Orem City's new modification may aleviate some of the problem. It specificies that all articles impregnated im-pregnated with urin or fecal material shall be placed in a waterproof water-proof bag for disposal. The ordinance ordinan-ce a;so states that containers with water or other liquids shall be drained before disposal and that grease shall be reduced to a solid state before being put into a garbage container.

Bruce Wilkins, a neighbor living in the adjoining property, pro-perty, presented charts and statistics showing that the Orem Elementary School in the area already has surpassed sur-passed its capacity by more than 60 students and has three portable classroom units. He also says that condominiums have a history of becoming rentals and that developers don't always produce what was approved ap-proved by the council. Councilmember Stella Welsh was the long dissenter to the denial. "They came three times before the planning commission and have made every concession asked for," she said, "I think we should grant them approval." A moratorium on PRD's was discussed briefly but the council decided instead to study the planned development program in the city and to determine ways to make certain the developer delives what is promised.
