185 <br />Regular Council Meeting <br />10/16/89 <br />Page 9 <br />ANY OTHER MATTER THAT MAY COME BEFORE COUNCIL <br />Mrs. Cinco said she had a phone call from a resident on Wilson Mills <br />about leaf pick-up. She said there were a lot of senior citizens on <br />that street who would like more assistance with leaves than just <br />receiving bags. <br />Mayor Carmen explained that the Village does not have enough manpower <br />to pick up leaves on Wilson Mills. Residents cannot put the leaves <br />close enough to the street for them to be picked up as they are on <br />other streets. To pick up the leaves on Wilson Mills would require <br />additional personnel to rake the leaves into the machine. The Village <br />does not have $160,000-180,000 equipment like the larger communities <br />and cannot afford the more expensive equipment. <br />A resident in the audience stated that it seems the Village was <br />involved in making the tree lawns on the south side narrower than on <br />the north side and he thinks the Village owes them something. <br />Mayor Carmen said the leaf collection program was instituted to help as <br />many Villagers as possible. He said he understands the residents <br />problem and sympathizes with him but that we are doing the best we can <br />with the program. <br />The resident commented that the major problem is with the snow and <br />asked who decided which side would be smaller. <br />Mr. Amendola said the Village will furnish residents with bags for the <br />bagging of leaves on that portion of Wilson Mills Road. They will be <br />dropped off this week. He said that residents should contact the <br />Service Department if they need additional bags. <br />Mr. Rinker said that a meeting to discuss the ballot issues has been <br />tentatively scheduled by the Worton Park Home Owners Association for <br />November 2 at 7:30 p.m. in the Community Room. The meeting.is open to <br />all Villagers. <br />Mr. Flynn complimented Mr. Patrick on the long-term comprehensives. <br />Mr. Amendola asked Council to give consideration about letting him know <br />the answer regarding the Assistant Service Director situation by <br />November 4. <br />Mr. Flynn said he thinks the legislation will be coming up for the <br />third reading at the next meeting and that he does not think we could <br />give any kind of an answer until it is considered again at a regular <br />meeting. <br />Mayor Carmen said that Mr. Amendola goes on vacation in November. He <br />is interested in this issue since he is the department head. Mayor <br />Carmen said he feels that Council has either already formed their <br />opinions on this issue or if they are going to require input they <br />should make their requests now so he can respond to those requests <br />before he leaves.
