By Peggy KellySanta Paula TimesAn overview of the city’s growth limiting Measure L6, update on the city’s economic development and business retention as well as a proposed ordinance to cast a stronger eye on recycling will be among the agenda items considered by the City Council at Monday’s meeting.After interviewing applicant Tim Hicks for a seat on the Recreation Commission and closed door discussions on labor negotiations the Council will meet in open session at 6:30 p.m.The meeting will be broadcast live on Time Warner Cable Channel 10 and then repeated according to schedule.Junk dealers and recyclers might be facing tighter business practices as the Council considers a stiffer ordinance regarding the identification of those who bring in items for recycling.
