Numerous representatives have requested that the Township go to referendum to get authority to negotiate a contract with Allied Waste or other haulers to provide service in the unincorporated areas. Attorney Len Monson has prepared the Resolution, which follows the statutory requirements. Supervisor Clarke noted that the Township would not be bound to take any action if the referendum passes, and that the Township would be merely authorized to do so.
