Hyde Park warming up to green-waste collection By
Rachel Irvine
HYDE PARK -- Logan's proposal to collect green waste in Hyde Park for a fee received positive feedback at a recent Hyde Park City Council meeting. Jill Galloway from the Logan City Environmental Division presented the collection plan to the council. Logan will provide containers for green waste to those citizens who would like to participate. The green waste will be collected each week with normal garbage pick-up. The cost of the pick-up will be $4 a month. This will only be billed to those citizens who decide to use the service. Those who participate will also receive a yearly gift certificate from some local businesses. The green waste collection would run from March to November, and will be offered to the towns from Smithfield to Providence. Galloway told the council that Logan hopes to have collection start in August. Mayor Daines asked the residents present to express their opinions about the project. All of the comments made were positive.
The council also heard a presentation by Vern Bray from the Cache Chamber of Commerce on the Cache Initiative. Bray explained that the initiative focuses on three main areas. First is to focus on increasing the communication capacity coming into Cache Valley by expanding the broadband service, which has only one line. The second goal is to improve transportation quarters through the valley. The Chamber of Commerce would like to preserve the wide-open spaces that are found throughout the valley. The chamber wants to cut down on driveways that open onto main roads to help facilitate faster travel in and out of Cache Valley. The final stage of the initiative is to increase the capacity of the airport. The Cache Camber would like to allow slightly larger airplanes to come in and out of the valley. Bray assured the council that this would not become a commercial airport. In other news, the council also unanimously voted to award Ron Foster Construction its sewer bid. The entire project will cost the city $105, 000. The city will begin phase one of the project within 90 days. Mayor Daines asked that any change in orders must be brought before himself or Councilman Charles Wheeler who is overseeing the project.
