Approve Downtown Trash Compactor Lease
CM-08-144-10 Heer moved, Glagola seconded, to approve the lease with Greenleaf Compaction Inc. for the downtown dumpsters. Motion CARRIED.
Mr. Shufflebarger stated this should help keep parking lots cleaner and less odorless. Parking Authority also hoped to gain 6-7 additional parking spaces once old dumpsters are removed. Council questioned whether recycling could be incorporated, especially during special events. Mr. Shufflebarger stated there is more of a cost to recycle year round, however more recycling containers could be considered during special events. Waste Management will still be providing garbage pickup service.
Richard Harrison, Parking Authority, stated there will be a direct bore for the electricity and should not affect the parking lot. He stated the safeguards on the compactor reduced worry of accidents and therefore liability. It was stated that individuals operating the compactor should be 18 years or older.

CM-08-145-10 Heer moved, Aubry seconded, to accept, with regret, the resignation of Larry Keef from the Planning Commission. Motion CARRIED.

If millage is passed the special assessment would not be collected.
