Study an option for citizens to deal directly with the trash hauler instead of an assessment being placed on property taxes. 3. Hold the line on any further increases. If increases are necessary, hold a special election to determine the will of the people. Director Lindemans suggested placing this on the agenda in the fifth month of the new year, stating by that time an accounting of current programs could be made. He stated he disagreed with a special election, because the $35,000 cost for such an election would not be justified by a small increase. Director Parks stated he would like staff input on these issues before they are discussed and agreed this should be placed on a future agenda. COMMUNITY SERVICES DIRECTOR REPORT None given.
