City Link hours to extend in Garden City
Garden City commissioners approved extending City Link bus hours from 6 a.m. to 7 p.m. to serve more residents in Garden City and Finney County. The change, likely starting in July, follows public complaints about current hours hindering work commutes and after school access. Funding for 2008 comes from savings and cash balance, with 2009 funding still under discussion.

Crouse noted wool from sheep was spun into cloth and will be demonstrated Thursday along with spurs branding and cowboy gear as students learn where they came from amid crowded curricular demands.

Recycling program outgrowing resources in Garden City
Public Works Director Sam Curran told the Garden City Commission the recycling program must grow without more staff as 2007 tonnage rose to 1,111 tons from 576 in 2006, driven by a BPI partnership. A lease-purchase with Sonoco for a conveyor system was approved, five years at 465 monthly, totaling 27,887. The session also covered reimbursing Thomas Boyd, owner of Garden City Comfort Inn, for improvements.
