the Salina Code, be introduced for first reading.
Jim Roets, a private refuse hauler, asked about the cost to the city
using incinerators as compared to landfill pits. He was told it is cost prohibiti
and impossible to meet the Environmental Protection Agency regulations. He
thinks he should be able to use the alleys for his customers pickups.
Randy Holm, 848 Custer, expressed his concern about the $1.00 fee
increase, the closing of the alleys to truck traffic for private haulers, and
that elderly and handicapped people would have trouble pushing the carts to the
curb.
Joe Keeling, wants the City Commission to try one truck and one route
for three months to see how it works. He is concerned that elderly people
wouldn't be able to push the carts to the curb. He was told that any elderly or
handicappled person who could not wheel the cart to the curb could make a request
to the City and we would do it for them as long as necessary.
Mrs. Dreher said she has a long gravel driveway and there is no way she
could push a cart to the street.
Ruth Ascher, League of Women Voters, likes the idea of the containers,
and feels it would be great for the Salina citizens.
Jim Foley, asked if the city had considered letting the hauling out to
private haulers.
The Commission said they had considered it, but that is as far as it
went.
Minor Harris, private refuse hauler, is against cutting off the use of
alleys for refuse collection. He thinks the city should keep the present system.
He is also against the scales at the landfill.
Marilyn Urion, likes the idea of the new system but is against no
pick up from the alleys. She feels by doing this will cause traffic problems on
some streets.
Rosetta Ogborn, is against closing the alleys to private haulers, she
feels it will hurt their business.
