He stated <br /> 23 that the City might eventually require all residents to <br /> 24 subscribe to garbage service, but that special situations <br /> 25 such as people who share garbage service with a neighbor <br /> 26 must be taken into consideration. The problem was <br /> 27 - addressed in the City ' s most recent goal-setting session. <br /> 28 <br /> 29 Commissioner Werenicz asked whether monitoring of the <br /> 30 center had been investigated, and Assistant VanderHeyden <br /> 31 responded that paying a monitor would be a prohibitive <br /> 32 expense, particularly when it already costs the City <br /> 33 $8 , 000 to $9 , 000 a year to run the center.
