Sidney city officials endorsed an ordinance to allow sale of up to 160 000 in bonds to finance a rail garbage collection system while stating the move does not obligate the city to issue bonds.

The council also donated 250 to the Fourth of July fireworks fund and asked for a copy of the building permit fee schedule for review.
