Minutes of the meeting of April 18th were approved as written. Mayor Christman announced that after May 12th the dumping area in the Park would be closed. All rubbish will then have to be put on the tree lawns on regular pick-up days. The Mayor also presented to Council for study an ordinance regarding mutual aid contracts. The Safety-Service Director presented his report in writing. Finance Director Gerlach delivered to the Clerk 35 initiative petitions for rezoning a triangle of land roughly bounded by proposed I-80, Kennedy Ridge and Columbia, from Mixed Use to Residence District, Mrs. Hodgins, Chairman of the Public Service and Utilities Committee, re- ported on a study made of the use of plastic garbage bags. Fairview and Rocky River sell them to residents through the Service Department, at a cost of 7-1/2,^,, or 9-1/2q, for heavier bags. They are used as liners for garbage cans, are fastened and placed on .the tree lawn on collection days. It cuts down the time involved in handling rubbish and leaves clean streets when the trucks depart. The Committee is recommending the City purchase 5,000 to be sold to residents on a voluntary basis. This would require a vendor's license for the Mayor or Safety-SErvice Director. The Committee also set forth the following reasons for recommending the purchase of a fourth packer-type truck for garbage: addition of 100 homes to the routes as originally planned; necessity for using a smaller, older truck for dumping, which holds 9 yards less, but costs the same to dump; the impossible situation if one of the large trucks should break down; the extra trash from spring cleaning. Mrs. Hodgins also advised that she is preparing a written report on her trip to Columbus to attend a meeting of the Citizens Committee on Health and Welfare. -....?__? wl?:- _ MWIW?-_ , -? =??OKWIt.-Wloa? wwr.-,.
