Session 1527, Minutes Page 5 <br /> ILle August 27, 1990 <br /> COUNCIIMEMBER COMMENTS <br /> Mrs. Thompson said she received a large number of calls from distressed resi- <br /> dents who got explanatory letters on haw to use the new refuse roll-out carts. <br /> She said they were upset because they did not have a place to keep the carts <br /> and thought they would be much more difficult to use than bags; however, she <br /> encouraged them to give the pilot program a try. It was suggested that for <br /> most people it would be easier to rollthe cart than to carry heavy bags to <br /> the curb. Mr. 011endorff said those with a specific problem should call Pub- <br /> lic Works to see if something can be worked out. Mrs. Thompson said the City <br /> should seek out and publicize those who like the new system. <br /> Mrs. Schuman said she received calls frau those who have had this type system <br /> in other cities and want to know when they will receive it here. Deputy City <br /> Manager Glassman said the City bought equipment that will service smaller <br /> carts, so it may be possible to provide senior citizens with a more easily <br /> handled size. Ms. Glassman said that yard waste can now be picked up, too, <br /> and should be put out on the regular day of pickup. Responding to Mrs. Thomp- <br /> son, Ms. Glassman said the pickup day to be eliminated will be included in the <br /> instruction letter sent to residents who receive this neva service. Mayor Ma- <br /> jerus said the Public Works Department was trying to find paper bags for the <br /> yard waste so container and all may be put in the tub grinder, but there will <br /> be a charge for the bags. <br /> AEOCURNMENT <br /> Mayor Majerus adjourned the meeting at 6:10 p.m. <br /> 0404. a, ?71, <br /> Dolores A.
