Council should revisit garbage can visibility
Now that we have a new Ceres City Council perhaps it will reverse the policy recently set that allows residents to keep their garbage cans in public view seven days a week.
As you may remember, the city had a law on the books that said you had to hide away your cans unless it was during the hours you could set them out for collection. In November 2019, three members of the old council changed that, saying they had no problems with cans being stored next to a house or garage. Those three – Chris Vierra, Bret Durossette and Mike Kline – are gone now. If Couper Condit is anything like his brother, he would vote to change back. Linda Ryno didn’t believe in letting cans be viewed from the street either. It remains to be seen how Bret Silveira and Mayor Javier Lopez would vote on the topic if it’s revisited.
