I 1 Session 1526, Minutes Page 8 1 IL August 13, 1990 k public hearing on the tax rate, notices also should be sent to neighborhood associations, for instance. Mr. 011endorff said the hearing held this evening was merely a formality required by state law; the budget public hearing in May is on the City calendar, and that is the time for citizens' input. Mr. Feld- man circulated photographs to Oatncil that showed the overflowing dumpsters on his street, saying he was concerned about similar problems when the changeover to the roll-out cart system occurs. He was concerned that those using the new system will not read the instructions on how to use these con'-ainers, and that few on his street take any responsibility for trying to keep the area clean.. Another problem is improper street drainage, which results in pools of water that breed mosquitos. Mr. Price said perhaps when the changeover to roll-out carts comes about, he and the City Manager could speak with the apartment own- er and other residents on the street about this problem and what is expected of them in terms of keeping the area litter-free. 1 CCUNCIIMERBER DOm marcs Mrs. Schuman noted that in several locations where curbs were replaced recent- ly, handicapped access cuts were not installed; however, the contractor was supposed to have met all city specifications. If that is true, then the spe- cifications have not been written correctly because the policy adopted approx- imately a year ago calls for handicapped access on curbs. Mr. 011endorff said he will find out what happened in this case. I Mr. Price said on August 26th there will be a House and Garden Tour in the northeast area of the City. He displayed the printed brochure that describes what will be on the tour. He encouraged the Mayor and Council to attend and said the tour will promote the excellent housing stock that exists north of Olive. Mayor Majerus agreed, adding that some very interesting houses and gardens have been selected to be on the tour. Mr. Price called attention to the very successful "National Night Out" that was held throughout the City on August 7th. He said a great many neighbor- hoods participated, and in one area more than 200 people attended. 1 Mayor.Majerus reminded vounci].menibers of the Council study meeting that has been scheduled for September 8, 1990.
