The City Manager stated that the trash haulers will talk to the re- sidents and explain why they can not put trash on the curbs. Dr. L. P. Williams, Professor at C.S.U., was present ar4.spoke regard- ing the charge for trash pickup, stating.that he paid $3.22 every two months where he came from, that he thought cans on the curbs was a way of life and not as, unsightly as considered by the Council, and that the, residents would get more and better service if the cans were placed in a more convenient place. He said that he could not get by with less than three cans for his trash and would probably need more due to his large family. The Mayor stated that he upheld and supported the realtors in that cans on the curbs depreciated the aestbtics of the City. Councilman Kruchten stated that placing trash cans on sidwalks block the walk way, the kids kick the covers off, allowing odors to escape and attract dogs and cats, also allowing papers to be blown about. He stated that resid- ents may have as many cans as they think necessary. Mayor Carson stated that they will.be studying this ordinance for quite sometime and the matters that are brought up concerning trash and garbage, that the City wants to improve the aesthetic and sanitation requirements. He. stated that he hoped everyone will be willing to help make this ordinance work and that if the Council finds something better, they will be willing to consid- er changing regulations. Mr.. Dwight Morehart of 1112 Emigh, was present and spoke in support of keeping trash cans off curbs. He expressed his opinion that some cities charge less than $2.50 a month, that the trash haulers have the monoply and will not make deals in the way of scheduling pickups. The Mayor stated that if anyone hade a complaint to call it to the attention of the Director of Public Works or the City Manager. Mrs.'Landbloom was present asking when the haulers wouldstartpick-- ing up wet garbage and suggested that the public save their papers for the Boy Scouts. Mr. Elwood Holmes was present sating that'. he had been in Fort Collins since 1895 and had considered this City and State the best in the Union, but had changed his mind due to the City Council passing too many ordinances and regulations. He said that in placesIB had been that the trash was placed in 50 lb. drums on trailers and that most anyone could handle these. The Mayor stated they appreciated his comments and interest. on Councilman Kruchten placed special emphasis/the cost of trash pickup, and stated.that the City could take this operation over and that this expense would be placed in the General Fund, stating that those people that generate a lot of trash should pay more than those that do not generate as much Mr. John Eley, a trash hauler, expressed his opinion that this is a good ordinance and believes it will work but will need some adjusting, that trash in proper containers and places at the corner of the house or in the Alley will look much better. He suggested that the public should put their names and addresses on cans placed in the alley.
