Richard Dockett, 6844 Crest Ave. Mr. Dockett was present to do part two on out-sourcing. He stated he was glad that University City is moving forward with the Human Rights Commission. Mr. Dockett said out-sourcing will double the price we are now paying for waste hauling. He said the Human Rights Commission, the Civil Rights Commission, the EEOCO and the Labor Commission need to take a look at outsourcing Public Works trash hauling that there might be some humane rights violations that U City does not want to be involved with in that manner.

Tom Sullivan, 751 Syracuse Mr. Sullivan stated he has continually asked about the trash delinquencies, specifically the City stated they had 2 million dollars in trash delinquencies, claiming that it has gone down to 1.3 million dollars. He said there are hundreds of thousands of delinquent bills being added each year and he has asked how much of that reduction is actual money in the bank. Mr. Sullivan thought it was incredible that the City did not know how much is being collected and how much is not being collected. He also noted that he has another pending Sunshine request on the hiring of the City Manager and he has not received an answer. Mayor Welsch asked the City Manager to get back to Mr. Sullivan about the trash billing and the City Clerk about the Sunshine request. The Mayor said she believed the City Clerk had fulfilled that request. Elsie Glickert, 6712 Etzel 2
