City debates funding, zoning plans and cardboard ban response
The council weighs funding approval this year and asks the Regional Planning Commission to compare the project with others seeking funds. A proposed east west extension would run through Linn Mar School District between the new intermediate school and administration building. The council urges staff to oppose Bluestem Solid Waste Agency’s planned residential cardboard ban for now due to recycling center limits and staffing costs.
