PUBLIC INPUT 28 <br /> 29 <br />Cindy Palm, 2266 Terrace Drive, commented on the number of trips made by garbage and 30 <br />recycling trucks every Thursday and asked about the option of negotiating a City-wide hauler to 31 <br />lower rates and prolong the life of City streets. 32 <br /> 33 <br />Mayor Flaherty explained that about four years ago, the City had decided to go to a Thursday-34 <br />only hauling day to cut down traffic from occurring every day. However, the Council left it open 35 <br />for residents to select their own hauler. 36 <br /> 37 <br />Joe Rhein, Consulting Engineer, advised that the estimated 1,200 trips per year for garbage, 38 <br />recycling, and yard waste trucks is considered to be a low volume and would not result in a huge 39 <br />detrimental impact over the next eight years. Clerk-Administrator Ericson noted, however, that 40 <br />reducing trips from 1,200 to 300 trips per year would result in substantially less wear. 41 <br /> 42 <br />Mayor Flaherty stated this topic will be discussed at an upcoming Work Session meeting. 43 <br /> 44
