4. Discussion, Consideration and Possible recommendation of recycling fee. Following a lengthy discussion of the Nichols Hills recycling center operations, Mary Ellen Ternes MOVED to propose to Nichols Hills City Council to include a statement (flyer) in the a future Nichols Hills Utility billing. This flyer would be to the effect: The current recycling fee of fifty cents to support the recycling center is not sufficient to continue to pay the center; that it is necessary to increase the fee to $2 per household in order to continue the recycling center at a break even status. Would you be willing to pay $2 per month to sustain the recycling center? SECONDED BY: Carlene Burger. AYES: Malloy, Loper, Ternes, Herzel, Burger, Smith and Frates.
