The Norman (Oklahoma) Transcript reports that the City Council of Moore, Oklahoma, likely will seek a vote from residents to decide the future of the city’s curbside recycling program in November.
“We want to offer the service, but we want to be fair about it,” Moore Mayor Glenn Lewis told the newspaper. “I hope to put it on the next agenda. I want everybody on the same page on that.”
The city issued 20,167 surveys to residents between April 30 and June 3. By a 70 to 30 percent margin, the 2,303 returned surveys approved the idea of charging $3 per month for a curbside recycling service. Although 53 percent of respondents said the city should simply implement the program, 47 percent requested the city put it to a vote, according to the article.
“It’s not that we’re required to under the charter,” City Manager Steve Eddy says in the article. “But with this being a kind of different service than normal trash service, and conversations both pro and con over time, I think they may well decide to put it to a vote.”
