Mrs. Childers also won sever- al red ribbons. in the event Mixed reactions on sanitation survey Utility customers have appar- ently mixed reaction to a sani- tation survey included in the April bills from City Hall. Councilman Jerry Mullinax, who says he is totally against rollout garbage service and/or a $2 fee tacked on to sanitation bills for continued backyard pickup, said survey sheets indi- cate a 50-50 split among respon- ders. But Councilwoman Norma - Bridges, who is also against in- creased fees for sanitation ser- vice, said she received about 30 calls this week from citizens who prefer backyard pickup and question increased costs without proof from City Hall that the extra fee is warranted. "I tend to agree with these callers," said Bridges. Bridges said survey sheets went out with utility bills April 1 and she hopes that most citi- zens will return them in time for the April 17 meeting of the sanitation committee which will tabulate and review the re- sponses. ; "I have been heating mixed feelings from people,’ "" said Mullinax. : ‘He said senior citizens can't roll out 90 pound garbage con- tainers to curbside and can't pay the additional cost to go to a doctor to request a statement that they are unable to roll out the garbage. Bridges agreed, saying that many of the calls she is receiv-- ing are coming from people on fixed income. Bridges says she also objects to the city spending $30 a piece for 4,000 containers. "That's $120,000 and I question where - that money is coming from," she said. "I have a problem with pulling $2 out of the air to charge each utility customer for garbage collection," she said. "If citizens want to go to curbside, so be it, but.I want to see the proof that it's necessary." Both Mayor Scott Neisler and City Manager Jimmy Maney have proposed the city change from backyard to curbside pick- up. Maney suggested that the citizens be given an opportuni- ty to vote on which service they prefer and the community abide by the majority vote. He said at a recent meeting that re- gardless of the majority vote garbage pickup would be cut to once a week, citing increasing costs of equipment.
