° Y � ' , w � - 205 _.. :� 4 . ' _ � � r l � General Discussion _ 'y�,� Councilman Le�ipzig stated for the record that a front-page story appearing in the Redwood Ctty Tribune on May 6, 1978 suggested that in the past taxpayers have not pa�d for street sweeping. She stated that the charge for street sweeping has been included in the property , tax and the only consideration given to the matter by Council was that it might be more equitable to property owners if the charge were made on the basis of actual use as are charges for water, sewer, etc. rather than as part of the property tax where homeowners may be subs�dizing street sweeping of comnercial areas. Councilman Norris referred to the report of the City Manager dated May 12, 1978 attaching information requested at the Budget Study Session of May 6 and urged that with regard to the list of surplus vacant property that efforts be made to dispose of it as expeditiously and advantageously as possible. It was explained that the property is frequently small, odd-shaped pieces of little value to anyone and previous attempts to sell some parcels were not successful, but that the City is interested in doing so.
