Motion declared carried Garbage Haulers Wilfred Scherer reviewed proceedings of meeting that had been held with garbage haulers doing business in Medina. he explained that the principal idea that had been agreed upon was to allow garbage pick-up on Tuesday and Wednesday, on roads of less than 9 tons, with a special permit for other days for a specific need. One item not considered at the meet- ing, was a suggestion from Jim Dillman that pick-up only be allowed in the morning on those days. Thomas Anderson asked for reasons for the plan. Jim Dillman stated that it would be beneficial to the road if it could be graded and allowed to dry out without heavy trucks using it for several days at a time. William Reiser suggested that haulers be assigned roads on which they could pick up. Richard Schieffer stated that collectors could be licensed for separate areas of the city or one collector could be licensed for the entire city. He stated that a proper contract would need to be prepared, to meet regulations. William Reiser asked if the number of stops for each hauler, was known. Wilfred Scherer stated that they had not asked that question. Mr. Reiser stated that if a certain hauler was given the same number of stops on a given road, his business would not be affected. Mr. Schieffer suggested that a questionaire be sent to residents soliciting their ideas on such a program and he would review the laws regarding a licensing program. Moved by Heideman, seconded by Scherer to table the garbage hauling matter until January 7, 1986, pending receipt of a plan from the City Attorney as to how haulers could be legally licensed and with a letter sent to city residents after receipt of the attorneys report.

Mr. Anderson asked for a clarification of the item regarding upgrading of Maple St. and the recommendation that the city share in the cost of the improvement. Mrs. Hurr explained that the Planning Commission had added that condition because they assumed that horses would be trucked to and from the property and that Maple Street would need some improvement. Mr. Anderson stated that the city might be agreeing to a large expense for its share of the cost. Jim Dillman stated that it would be cheaper to haul gravel onto the road, as is presently being done. William Reiser asked how much money had been spent on the road in 1985. Mr. Dillman stated that about $1500 worth of gravel had been applied. Anne Heideman asked if road fabric should be placed on the road. 365 Mr. Dillman stated that the road does not break up, rather, it settles and spreads out,, *. - Mr. Anderson stated that he believed that nothing should be done with the road but that the statement should be left in the Conditional Use Permit so that Mr. Brady acknowledges that he agrees to help pay a portion of the improvement' costs; with the city paying for one third of the cost, the property owner south of Maple St, paying one third and Mr. Brady a one third share of the cost. • Glenn.
