Cloud and haul refuse to the RDF <br />plant. If this proposal is passed, it would increase truck traffic <br />from 6-8 semi trucks to 50-60 smaller refuse trucks. The City will be <br />drafting a letter to the Tri-County Solid Waste Commission detailing <br />their concerns. <br /> <br />Gary Schmitz, Recycling Coordinator, informed the Planning Commission <br />of the upcoming interview process for the City Planner.
