The Council then <br />continued the Public Hearing and referred the Bill to the Public Works Committee for review <br />and recommendation. <br />The Public Works Committee met with concerned citizens and representatives of scrap and junk <br />yard operations on May 23, July 27, and August 6. Several legal memorandums have been prepared <br />addressing proposed changes, and regulations existing in Fort Wayne, Indianapolis and several <br />other cities. <br />The Public Works Committee believes that all regulations in this area must be fair and reason- <br />able. The Committee further believes that regulations should balance the contributions that re- <br />cycling operations such as junk and scrap yards make to the community in light of the environ- <br />mental and aesthetic concerns of the public. <br />The Public Works Committee therefore respectfully recommends that after due consideration of <br />written and verbal material, that the attached amendments to Bill No. 38 -79 be favorably ac- <br />cepted by the Common Council. <br />/s /Joseph T.
