Dear Honorable Council:
Attached is a letter I have written to Bill McDonald regarding condo trash issues.
You will note that it is a discussion document only.
Them is considerable support among us to find a solution to this problem, but the
question is not entirely easy. As an example, several condos today require multiple
pickups per week because of tight space limitations. City practice is limited to
weekly pickup
I look forward to discussing this matter with you sooner.
Very truly yours,
Willam F. ScanIon, Jr., Mayor
