Committee Reports

As Trustee Paul Kufrin was not in attendance, President Pro Tem Tross reminded the |
|
Community and Board members that on June 9, 1999 the Lombard Chamber of |

Chairperson |
|
Trustee Florey reported that they met May 25 and reviewed and approved 2 educational |
|
grants for District 44, Pleasant Lane and Westlake Middle School for their recycling |
|
programs. The Committee will be revamping their Educational grant process. At their |
|
June 22 meeting they will be discussing this process. They will also discuss the Waste |
|
Disposal Contract. The Committee was not in favor of maintaining the two can system, |
|
but based on input from the Board they voted to retain the current contract. The |

Committee believes the "pay as you go" system is inevitable due to landfills closing. |

would be acceptable. He asked that Mr. Bayer amend the Ordinance. |
