<br />Special Council Meeting <br />10/24/89 <br />Page 4 <br />Mr. Ramo said it depends on whether or not the services are essential <br />or non-essential. <br />Mayor Carmen asked if she was referring to the leaf pick-up program. <br />Mr.s. Mikula said yes. <br />Mayor Carmen said the leaf pick-up program was instituted about 5 years <br />ago because Council and the Mayor determined to provide a service to <br />residents. He said they had to do so within the parameters of certain <br />financial restraints. Mayor Carmen said they have not provided leaf <br />pick-up to those residents where pick-up would be unsafe and <br />economically unfeasible. He said that Mr. Amendola and Council have <br />agreed to Iook at Wilson Mills Road to see what service could be <br />provided. <br />Mrs. Mikula asked what the difference is between S.O.M. and Wilson <br />Mills. <br />Mr. Amendola said that S.O.M. Center Road has much wider tree lawns and <br />the grass holds the leaves in place. He said that on Wilson Mills <br />there is no place to store the leaves and Village personnel would have <br />to rake the leaves into the machine. We do not have a sewer vacuum. <br />Mrs. Mikula asked why the Village equipment couldn't have been modified <br />before leaf pick-up was started so that it could pick up their leaves. <br />Mayor Carmen said that we have priced that type of equipment and it is <br />roughly $40,000. He said the dollars are not in our budget. <br />Mrs. Mikula asked if there couldn't be any other modification. <br />Mayor Carmen said we would need additional power on the truck. <br />Mrs. Mikula asked why the Village men couldn't rake the leaves. <br />Mayor Carmen said there is a liability problem. He said there is no <br />economic way to do Wilson Mills Road this year. Mayor Carmen said that <br />we have not found a viable solution to the problem but are looking into <br />possibilities of what we can do. <br />Mr. Flynn, seconded by Mr. Basile, made a motion to adjourn. <br />Roll Call: AYES: Al1 <br />NAYS: None Motion Carried <br />The meeting adjourned at 8:50 p.m. <br />?CIL PRESIDENT, gMiTO BASILE <br />? . <br />MAYOR, FRED N.
