Europe is leading the way in
keeping computers out of
landfills, with all computer
manufacturers required to
have recycling programs in

a marginal fee. IBM, Dell Com-
puter and Hewlett-Packard
have all started such pro-
grams.

County Engineer Greg Parker presented
the proposal to vacate all of Johnson
County's interest in that portion of Emma
Street as platted in the Town of CouFalls,
Johnson County, Iowa as recorded in Book
1, Page 111 of the Johnson County
Recorders Office, lo-cated between the
CRANDIC Railroad Right-of-Way and
Coufall Street.
Parker said that the Brecht's requested
the road vacation. A portion of a building
is located in the public designated right-of-
way. Parker requested from the Brecht's
and the County Attorney that the three
homes that use the right-of-way as an
access, still have an access easement to
their property. The Brecht's met with the
property owners and the agreement has
been reviewed through the County Attor-
ney's Office.
William Brecht spoke in favor of the
road vacation and presented signed ease-
ment agreements.
R. Sullivan asked about signage for the
rail road tracks. A CRANDIC representa-
tive explained that signage is their respon-
sibility.
Public Hearing closed at 9:05 a.m.
