CC Agenda-7/24/2012

[Ted]

Here is the city council agenda for 7/24/2012.

The biggest items are the methadone clinic settlement ($650,000); renewal of the Waste Management contract (increases from $22.32 per month per house in 2013 up to $23.21 per month per house in 2015); a bid on the DD pocket park at Windsor & Kenilworth; cashing in 9 million points on the city's AMEX card and going to a CHASE card; new water meter reading equipment proposal and renewing the housing collaborative with Maywood, Bellwood, Oak Park and Forest Park.

  I also found out, via the agenda, that my neighbors across the alley are getting a handicapped drop off zone. 

  Anyways, here is the agenda:

                                 BERWYN CITY COUNCIL MEETING
