Weight Restrictions

that service begins to deteriorate with some types of fees increased. He explained that
the contract is for residential pick-up only, with commercial garbage picked up by private
haulers. He asked if there would be an advantage to Medina requiring that all garbage
haulers take out a license so that the city would know who was picking up garbage in town.

were broken up.
Jim Dillman stated that garbage haulers should be allowed to use a road once each week;
that they be required to supply a map of their routes and should stay on that schedule.
He suggested that the price of the permit should be reasonable enough so that all haulers
would take out permits.
He also asked for the authority to close a road if it becomes necessary.
Moved by Scherer, seconded by Heideman to charge a $5.00 permit fee, per overweight vehicle
per road posting season, to garbage haulers, farmers, fuel delivery trucks, septic tank
pumpers during the road posting season with the Public Works Director to schedule vehicles
