City Council Regular Meeting — 04/11/OS <br />DRAFT Minutes - Page 2 <br />A. Roger Toogood, 427 Iona Lane <br />Mr. Toogood spoke to the excellence of the City's <br />recycling program, while expressing concern regarding <br />papers littering the neighborhoods on recycling day due to <br />uncovered curbs�de containers.
