lUG - At a
pu lie ion ofth. Highl . nd
p r City Co��cli m tm.g
ov. 1, h citiz can ir
complain, iden char
t t wor for the company
handling a rbage cont�ct
for th city under Mayor Lin-
y Porter' new pr�vitization
policy w re inefficient, rude
nd ted a h lth hazard.
W. C. Bam t and Shirley
Taylor id worke of �he
firm under contract with
Highland P rk, City Manag_e­
ment, failed to put cans In
proper pi ce , but pushed
them in front of people' bed­
rooms, leaving residents wit�
mells and fum that consti­
tuted a health hazard.
In addition Taylor com­
plained about one instance of
ruden . by a City Manage­
ment garbage employee.
She noted that one man
asked a worker to move out of
the way 80 that he could go to
wor She said she believed
the worker not only refused to
move, but stayed there longer,
out of spite, 80 that the man
would be late for work.
"The taxpayers pay them,"
he said. "Maybe they think
that the administration pays
them, but they are wrong. "
BARNETT SAID HE
called a representative of City
Management to complain and
was told he did not "give a
d--n, if the garbage was in the
right place or not."
, Council President Dwight
Downes admitted there were
"loose edges", but added both
"THEY ARE OT ac­
countable to us," she said.
"You can do nothing about
outsiders coming in controlled
by a company in. W�rren. Y �u
can't beat privatization. It will
beat you."
She adds that the company
was "not hiring qualified peo­
ple."
. Charging inadequate gar­
bage collection, she said, "The
rats are killing the commu­
nity."
Adlon Turner of the
Waverly Block Club said she
was worried that the new cans
the city provided residents
were not weatherproof and
would crack from the cold and,
ice this winter.
."We have got to buy new
cans [that are weather proof],.
she said.
LAST MONTH ENGLER
approved funding for fiscal year
1993, which ended Oct. 1, and
part of fiscal 1994. The money
had been withheld because the
college was 10' months late ub­
mitting its audit for 1992. Ift�e
tlSC81 1993 audit due Dec. 1 18
late, further payments will be
withheld.
The audit will probably not be
ready until around the end of
January, according to Lloy�,
who cites the changing of audit
firms as one reason for the delay.
"I think my staff has done a
yeoman' job," 'Lloyd said. "I see
no reason for them to clobber us
again if they're talking about
helping us. "
The governor's office is not
buying such arguments.
"We have given them econd

Eng! r iterated an offer by the
directo of the de rtm n of
Education Treasury and Man-
ment �d Bud t to provid
technical . nce to th col-
lege.
Lloyd acknowled th 001-
lege had financial mismanage­
ment in the busin office but
claims the office has been re-
tructured and taffed. He
ays many agenci like the
health department and fire mar­
shal have been brought in in an
effort to prove the building un-
afe and unhealthy but no
agency has been able to make
anything tick.
"They a different picture
once they come here and see the
facility and talk to the people
that are here," Lloyd said. "It's
a different story from what they
receive from the key players in
Lansing."
Lloyd does admit that some
fire improvement are neces­
sary. The alarm system was dis­
connected years ago because the
fire department kept respond­
ing to daily false alarms by
rowdy students. A sprinkler
system in the atrium was never
connected to a water supply and
some electronic panels need re­
placing.
"I want my Christmas pre­
sent to the state fire marshal to
be closure on all three issues,"
LI�yd said.
APPROXIMATELY 2,000
students from metro Detroit at­
tend the college. Its small size
makes it able to respond to the
needs of their students in ways
that larger colleges can't, ac­
cording to Lloyd.
"We get a population that
