Council sets fall cleanup for Nov. 22–23, authorizes $500 payment to equipment operator
Summary
Gholson council voted unanimously to hold the citywide fall cleanup on Nov. 22–23 and to pay volunteer equipment operator Eric $500 total for his work; residents urged clearer rules on unacceptable items (tractor/truck tires).
The council voted to hold the citywide fall cleanup on the weekend before Thanksgiving (Nov. 22–23) and approved payment of $500 total to Eric for equipment and hauling assistance. The motion was made and seconded during the regular meeting and passed unanimously.
Residents who have helped run past cleanups urged stricter guidelines after prior events saw tractor and truck tires and large items dropped off despite stated limits. One volunteer described how a few people brought large volumes of tires and asked the city to enforce prohibitions on tractor and truck tire disposal.
"I make the motion that we have it November 22nd, 23rd, and that we pay him $500," said Holly during the motion, which was seconded and approved. Council members asked staff to include clear guidance about prohibited items and to publicize the limits in advance.
