In its Dec. 14 meeting, the City Council:
- Approved a six-year contract with BFI for solid waste collection, effective March 1, 1994. The new contract will keep prices the same as they are now - $5.97 a month - for three years. BFI will also purchase all of Clearfield's garbage-hauling equipment. Clear-field changed to private garbage collection because it wanted to keep costs down by avoiding purchases of new garbage-hauling equipment.- Authorized termination of its garbage-hauling agreement with Syracuse, effective Jan. 31, 1994. However, Syracuse will still pay Clearfield $1,300 a month for the next five years to pay for its 1,500 trash containers obtained from Clearfield.
- Approved the 1994 contract with Davis County for animal control at a cost of $24,186, $1,150 more than this year's price.
- Held a public hearing and rezoned five acres of property between 128 and 147 Pacific Street from residential to commercial to allow a new equestrian develop-ment.
- Set its final meeting of 1993 for Tuesday, Dec. 28, 7 p.m.
Layton
In its Dec. 16 meeting, the City Council:
- Honored outgoing Mayor James Layton by presenting him with a clock.
- Approved an amended resolution on the Kayscreek corridor property that includes an additional $620 in back taxes the city inherited after the 22 acres, near Hobbs Reservoir, were donated to the city. The city originally believed only $2,000 in back taxes were due on the land.
- Approved a resolution relating to property purchases on Antelope Drive, between Hill Field Road and Fort Lane, for a road-widening project. The city now plans to widen Antelope between Church Street and Hill Field Road in one construction season in 1994.
- Approved an amendment to fees charged for water service that means connection fees are now charged at the time of hookup, rather than in conjunction with approval of a building permit.
- Held a public hearing on the rezoning of approximately 200 acres from agricultural to residential, located west of the Denver and Rio Grande railroad tracks, east of 2200 West and South of Gentile Street, and voted to deny the request based on its being a speculative zoning.
- Set a swearing-in ceremony for the new mayor and City Council members for Monday, Jan. 3, noon, in City Hall.
- Approved city employees getting a half-day off and city offices closing at noon on both Dec. 23 and Dec. 30. Offices will also be closed Dec. 24 and Dec. 31.
