Dual Trash Fee Okayed By City Council
City council debates a split trash plan with private services and a public fee. Engineer Bob Galloway claims $26,000 saved on containers and truck plus $5,600 yearly private service costs for 550 homes, with $13,200 annual charges and $2,145 from dump fees. Council counters that the charge is a tax and should cover all single family homes. Meeting also approves renaming the Auditorium-Coliseum board, sets civic center rates, funds a 10 inch water main to boost Lubbock State School pressure, buys 80 acres near Lubbock Regional Airport for $54,250, purchases a lot for an 8th street widening project, denies a water company damage claim, notes Chayton-Carter additions’ service ending June 1, and authorizes mayor to act.
