The yard waste disposal site was discussed. The gates are up but the people still need a place to put yard waste. The Mayor, Lobberecht, and Harding will have keys to the gates, if someone needs to dump they will call city hall and the clerk will get a hold of one of these three people to open the gates. We will try this and see how it works out.
