Show NOTICE OF PUBLIC HEARING The city council will hold a public meeting Tuesday evening at 6:00 p.m. in the city hall to review the need to increase garbage pickup fees to a maximum of $2.85 per month effective September 1st. The need to increase fees has become apparent as the city has discussed present financial operation with the contracting firm of Lindon Disposal Company. To be able to operate the garbage pickup profitabily the owner of the company has indicated that a fee of $2.50 is required. To maintain current income projections and to recover the costs of billing and collecting the city needs to receive 35'. The council wishes to meet with interested citizens to explain ex-plain the need for the increase and receive imput from the local citizens on this decision. Cost figures preliminarally show that should the city get back into the business of solid waste collection that approximately ap-proximately the same cost of operation as the private firm would be experienced by the city, therefore to maintain the existing rate would require subsidy from the general fund, a situation which the general fund can not afford. All citizens are invited to attend this meeting and express ex-press their opinions. |
