62473 Allie Anding, 813 Galena Street, asked why there was a charge for dumping
at the City Dump as she has grandchildren who tear down motors for the
copper and haul the balance to the dump. Also, she asked if they could

from the salvage.
July 24, 1972

Mayor Turner reported that anyone using the dump from outside of the City
or commercial haulers had to pay a charge; and, in answer to the question
of whether it was profitable for the City to charge for the dump, in the
past the City only recovered $2500 per year on the salvage operation but
with the dump charge the City receives $5000 per month so it was much more
profitable.
62474 - Lucille Endigo, 139 Linwood Avenue, asked if the law prohibited anyone
from picking up some thing that had been discarded at the landfill; also,
if consideration had been made for the small garbage hauler to pay a
lesser charge than others.
Public Works Director Culver reported it wasn't the policy of the City to
allow all persons to salvage at the landfill and items brought in on a
truck would have to be left at the landfill.
Mayor Turner stated the City would have to look into the policy to see
if there could be some changes made to allow someone not to salvage at
the dump but to, maybe, take an article someone else had brought before
it was discarded.
62475 - Katherine Flute, 320 East 7th Street, asked if the Ordinance covering
landfill (Ordinance 2588 adopted 3/20/72) could be changed to eliminate
the charges for the people who could not afford to pay, pointing out how
ecology was involved in salvaging and recycling items from the dump,
which would make jobs for persons picking up articles at the dump and
keep them off of welfare.
62476 - The Engineers having checked the extensions and totals of the bids for the
construction of the Waterloo, Iowa, 1972 Paving Program Noa 1, Contract
No. 127 reported the bid of Cedar Valley Corps of Waterloo, Iowa in the
