MINUTES <br />CITY COUNCIL <br />September 6, 1989 <br />The City Engineer replied that he has not. The <br />Engineer reported that the lip that was installed <br />around the edge of Carla Lane was not a curb and was <br />never meant to be a curb. It was merely a lip to carry <br />water. The Engineer pointed out that the bituminous <br />used as lip could not be compacted as well as the <br />driving surface, and there are people parking on top of <br />this lip and driving over it, thus causing damage to <br />the lip. <br />Collova suggested that the City Engineer obtain the <br />test results on the material that was used in the Carla <br />Lane overlay. <br />ORGANIZED The next item on the agenda was for the Council to <br />CoLLECTION discuss possible exemptions to organized collection. <br />Fahey reviewed the memo from Kathy Glanzer dated <br />September 6, 1989 regarding the policies of surrounding <br />cities with regard to organized collection.
