BOONE, Iowa---It seems that some of the smallest issues become the most emotional. It happens with sidewalks, snow removal and allowing garbage trucks in alleyways. The Boone City Council voted 4-2 to lift the ban that prohibited garbage trucks in alleyways. Boone Mayor John Slight says it's one of the issues he hears about with citizen complaints. But, Slight also says the city doesn't have the resources to maintain alleys if big garbage trucks cause damage. He says city staff will try to do some maintenance, but it will probably be limited. Slight made his comments on the KWBG Tuned In Program, Tuesday morning.
