L. Pelling, Co. and other citizens. Melvin Reeve addressed the Council during community forum. He stated that he had a problem with people dumping debris into the ditch/creek on his property directly east of Tiffin limits, and with putting cement and non-burnable items on the brush pile which is located partially on his property and on the railroad property. Council agreed to post signs which prohibit dumping into the creek and allow only brush and tree limbs to be placed on the burning pile. In exchange for use of property for the burning pile, the city mows that portion of surrounding ground. Mary Formanek addressed Council during community forum on behalf of citizen concern about loss of agreement with Coralville Public Library. She stated that Tiffin could use a special tax to raise money specifically for library services.
