The ordinance as presently worded would require haulers to <br /> recycle or deliver to a recycler all newspapers, glass , and aluminum. <br /> Mayor Pro Tem Ranallo expressed the view that the Council should work <br /> out the wording of the ordinance, return it to the task force, and <br /> proceed from there . The current market glut of recycleable materials <br /> is likely to be a temporary situation and the City should be ready to <br /> proceed with a recycling program once market conditions change. <br /> Council Member Makowske agreed that the best course would be to <br /> proceed. Council Member Marks offered the opinion that the haulers <br /> themselves might be in favor of recycling because of recent large <br /> increases in tipping fees . <br /> DEPARTMENTS AND COMMITTEES <br />
