Regular City Council Meeting February 13, 2006 Page 4 Ordinance prohibits bulk items that cannot be put into a Type I Landfill, such as batteries and tires. Tony recommended that if Council wants the City to be involved in handling those types of items, that they should be addressed separately and charged accordingly. He said it was not appropriate to handle those items as residential refuge, because it was against the law for those items to go into landfills. Council Member Wilson expressed concern that there would be an increase of old tires on property, as well as dumping of same in the county. Council Member Manning said he did not want that.

Tony said it was his understanding that sewer and water had to be provided by the City of Reno and could not be provided by the City of Paris. Mr. Lewis said that was correct. Shawn Napier also said that was his understanding. Mr. Lewis told Council that they had previously been approached by some of the Pine Valley developers about some of the property for development. In order for this to happen, they have to be annexed into the City of Reno. Tony further explained that about three years ago, there had been some litigation between the City of Paris and the
