VOTE: Ayes 4, Nays 0. ( #16) LICENSES Flint stated he has concerns with the size of the garbage trucks currently being utilized on his road by Browning Ferry Industries. Flint stated his neighbors in the past have requested smaller size garbage trucks be utilized within the City since a majority of the roads are privately owned and maintained and are not built for that kind of weight. Flint stated he spoke with Browning Ferry approximately one year ago and requested smaller trucks, but to date nothing has changed. Flint inquired whether there were any other options available to the residents in this area. Kelley stated he and some of his neighbors use Blackowiak, who has smaller sized garbage trucks as well. He noted some of his neighbors currently do not object to the larger size trucks. Sansevere stated it was his understanding if another garbage hauler licensed within the City were called and requested to provide service to a certain part of the City, they have the option of providing that service.
