Title
Resolution identifying portions of the Hartung Quarry site, located south of West Keefe Avenue and west of North 99th Street, as the site of a future park to be known as “Hartung Park”.
Analysis
The City currently operates a landfill at the Hartung Quarry site, which is located south of West Keefe Avenue and west of North 99th Street.
