City Council Regular Meeting Minutes July 12, 1994 Page 4 1 Mayor Ranallo said he has received calls about the closure of the Recycling 2 Center. He explained to the callers that the Recycling Center was closed 3 because the City no longer receives grant money to operate it and, in addition, 4 recyclables are picked up curbside from their haulers. 5 Ranallo reported that the legislature is still considering rates for cable TV. If 6 restrictions are removed, consumers will be able to receive cable channels, with 7 the exception of community channels, by US West or Hubbard's disk for less 8 cost than cable. 9 The Economic Development/Redevelopment Task Force met for the last time. 10 Ed Hance and another Task Force member will report the findings and 11 recommendations of the Task Force at the July 26th Council meeting.
