Council discusses spring cleanup dates, dumpster rates and staffing for citywide bulk‑item pickup
Summary
Council debated timing, hours and fees for the city’s spring cleanup and bulk‑item dropoff. Members discussed past fees and dumpster costs and suggested extending hours (options included 7–3 or 8–4) with a target weekend at the end of March; staff will firm up dates and rates for the next meeting.
Council spent significant time on logistics for the city’s spring cleanup event, discussing rates, dumpster costs and hours. Staff recalled last year’s example rates (items cited in discussion included $7 and $15 for different loads) and a council member estimated dumpster fees around $250 each; members discussed whether to extend event hours to allow residents more time to unload.
Members proposed possible dates near the end of March (the 27th–28th or the last weekend of the month, to align with spring break) and discussed volunteer staffing and whether city crews must be present. One council member put the scheduling question plainly: "I I don't know how you guys feel about, like, an 8 to 3." Staff and council agreed to firm dates and bring a recommendation to the next meeting.
