Confused as me? Well this section of the City web site, finally makes it a little clearer,
but way better than the other brochure they mailed out which was confusing, and as clear as mud, to say the least.
It is 11 pages but suggest printing it and keeping it handy for reference

I wished the City would have hired a couple summer students to go door to door, and show the residents what to do.
This would have solved this fine problem, and wrong items in the can.

Please note- I try to add to the History already recorded, in many local books, web sites, etc. I do not try to take away from the Great work of others before me.
I look for the unusual stories first, then try and expand on names and information second. I can't find them all, but I will spend hours looking for them.
