Mrs. Mann was very concerned because of the large amount of leaves which were on the streets. She said the leaf collector had come to her neighborhood before very many of the leaves had fallen, and although she realized it would visit her street again this fall, she thought it might be possible to put some extra workers on to try to collect the enormous amount of leaves now on the street, or to borrow some workers from depart- ments where the need was not so great. Mr. Ollendorff noted that the schedules are rotated so that the early collection is in a different area each year, and this year Mrs. Mann's neighborhood got the first collection. He said there was no extra money in the budget for additional leaf collection, but that he would look into this problem to see if there was anything which could be done. There was discussion about the schedule, and Mr. Ollendorff and several councilmembers noted that many people have raked leaves into the street at a time when their area was not scheduled for collection, adding to the glut of leaves already there. Mrs. Thompson said the City Manager should look into all alternatives to find some answers to this problem. COUNCIL SUBCOMMITTEE MEETING Mayor Mooney announced that the Council subcommittee charged with conducting a beautification campaign in University City would hold an informal meeting following the Council meeting. The chairman, Mr. Adams, said he had some materials which he would like the Council and anyone else who was interested to see.
