VOTE DELAYED ON SUNDAY LANDFILL CLOSURE vs

THE SANTA CRUZ CITY COUNCIL POSTPONED A VOTE ON CLOSING THE DIMEO LANE RESOURCE RECOVERY FACILITY ON SUNDAYS PUBLIC WORKS OFFICIALS SAY THE MOVE WOULD SAVE THE CITY SOME $98,000 A YEAR. SOME COUNCIL MEMBERS SAY REAL SAVINGS WOULD BE ALMOST NEGLIGIBLE. FEWER RESIDENTS USE THE FACILITY ON SUNDAY THAN ANY OTHER DAY, BUT AN ARGUMENT WAS MADE THAT THE CLOSURE WOULD POSE A GREAT INCONVENIENCE FOR HOMEOWNERS WORKING ON WEEKEND PROJECTS. CITY RESIDENTS CAN USE BOTH THE SANTA CRUZ COUNTY BUENA VISTA LANDFILL AND BEN LOMOND TRANSFER STATION, WHICH ARE OPEN ON SUNDAYS.
