New Location Considered for WB Yard Waste Dropoff Site

The West Burlington City Council has directed City Administrator Dan Gifford to come up with cost estimates…with a fence and without…for a new yard-waste drop-off site at the new public works complex on the west end of town.

In other business, Gifford and Mayor Hans Trousil ran into School Supt. Dave Schmitt, who wants a meeting next week to talk about the effects of a so-called “balanced” school calendar for the district…..

In another matter, Police Chief Frank Newberry says he has two qualified candidates for one available patrol officer position, created by the resignation of officer Al Waterman. Right now, Newberry says they’re doing background checks on the applicants.
