The current mechanism does not work for low - .income persons. Councilperson Budak suggested that the City investigate at least a drop-off site for branches this spring. In response, Public Works Director John Meyer stated that any changes to the current collection of yard waste would require a funding mechanism. Mr. Meyer estimated that picking up yard waste this spring could cost the City anywhere from $18,000 to $35,000 which would include tipping fee at the landfill and hauling charges. Councilperson Buck stated that he had recently hauled his own yard waste to the landfill which was not difficult and was not a costly means of disposal. Councilperson Wright stated that not everyone is able to pay, and that the City should consider giving its citizens an opportunity to deal with the yard waste problem. Mike Adams stated that the citizens of this community cannot afford the cost of yard waste bags, and that the City should give them an opportunity to burn. He stressed that this would provide better community relations if the City were to lift its ban on burning. Treno Evers, 1320 West Donald Street, stated that the Council should consider allow burning. He and Councilperson Brown exchanged strong words concerning Lhis item. Mayor Manning asked that the public observe two rules including: 1) no shouting, and 2) no personal attacks on City staff. Roosevelt Taylor, 311 Iowa Street, urged the Council's support of lifting the burning ban. Jim O'Regan, 1127 Tiffany Place, stated that the scope of the Yard Waste Committee was very limited, but there are alternatives to burning and that the environmental issues associated with burning must be carefully reviewed. Mark Linda, representing the Black Ilawk County Health Department, distributed a brochure on the risks to the community from smoke from leaf burning. He noted that there is a significant increase in the incidence of cancer in urban areas due to lung problems that could be associated with the negative impact of burning. April 20, 1992 Page 7 Petitions from Public - continued Elaine Jacquith, 810 Cornwall, stated that the Council needs to consensus build on Lh►is issue and come up with affordable alternatives to the ban on burning. Mayor Manning noted that low-income persons are eligible to receive five free yard waste bags. Gloria Winger, 812 Cataract Drive, asked that the Council consider rescinding the burning ban as people cannot afford to buy the yard waste bags. Councilperson Fox noted that the City in its recycling report had recommended two weeks of yard waste pick up in the fall. He also supported the study commitee's report to disallow burning in the spring. Councilperson Buck stated that he would not allow lifting the burning ban noting that he was also against free pick up of yard waste. He suggested giving more bags to low-income persons. Councilperson Brown also stated that he would not allow rescinding the burning ban. L. C. Hennessey urged citizens to compost their leaves. Larry P. Burger, City Clerk/Auditor, suggested that low-income persons be given five additional free bags for a total of ten yard waste bags. Fire Chief Stapella noted that the Fire Department answers approximately 400 calls per year at an average cost of $200 relating to leaf burning. This is a significant cost to the department. Councilperson Budak stated that it is very difficult to read the public's desire as the same people are saying keep taxes down but also want us to spend more money for leaf pick up. Mayor Manning stated that the Council is receiving mixed signals on one hand saying the City has such high taxes but yet demanding more services. Moved by Brown, seconded by Buck that communication from Clerk/Auditor transmitting petition to reconsider open burning of yard waste be received, placed on file and request denied. Ayes: Six.
