Port Angeles: Fluoride, garbage rates considered by City Council tonight

Published 12:01 am Tuesday, August 17, 2004

The Port Angeles City Council will publicly deliberate tonight on whether to seek more environmental studies on the proposed fluoridation of municipal water.

The meeting begins at 6 p.m. in the council chambers at City Hall, 321 E. Fifth St.

The council held a two-day public hearing last month on an appeal that seeks the further studies.

The council also is scheduled to open a public hearing at 7 p.m. tonight on increasing the city’s landfill and garbage collection rates. The proposed rate increases are 5 percent in 2005 and 5 percent in 2006.

That hearing probably will be continued until the Sept. 7 City Council meeting.
