A LANDFILL OF ISSUES The City Council is being asked to authorize to pay $100,000 to SCS Engineers to study and provide options for the handling of City Yards landfill issues.

The site, stretching approximately 12 acres, was used for the disposal of municipal waste until 1964\. When the landfill closed, there was about 300,000 cubic yards of refuse. Today, the landfill has settlement issues, making it undermine effective use for public service, emergency response and public recreation at nearby Stewart Park. For example, some portions of the concrete slab foundation on the property have cracked and partially collapsed.

The study, in coordination with the solid waste study and master plan, will look at options for handling the issues so that the City Yards and contiguous areas can be used effectively by the City to service the community and emergency response.
