FALCON HEIGHTS CITY COUNCIL MINUTES -14- • Apri128, 2004 REPORTS FROM COUNCIL MEMBERS (continued) Council member Lamb said there were three areas of factual disputes: 1. Discussion about whether or not the NRG is at capacity: The fact is it isn't at capacity. It has the capacity to take more garbage. 2. Do all of the haulers licensed to operate in Falcon Heights take the refuse collected to Newport? 3. Can the City achieve most of its goals through the licensing process? The City doesn't have the licensing power to mandate where refuse is hauled. The City has no licensing authority to regulate cost or regulate the number of trucks used. The attorney for the haulers, Doug Carnival, has offered to set up a tour of a landfill. Information about the new refuse hauling trucks is being gathered. Progress is being made. Council member Kuettel reminded the viewing audience that Curtiss Field will be closed while it is being renovated this year. INFORMATION AND ANNOUNCEMENTS: • Council member Talbot thanked the Saint Anthony Police De artment for the excellent service p they provide the community. He reminded the cable audience that if anyone is interested in becoming a reserve officer, they can contact Ramsey County Dispatch at 651-484-3366 to obtain more information and/or an application. Residents are not using 911 as well as they could. Make use of 911. Mayor Gehrz said it is her understanding the Legislature will not be putting levy limits in place and this is a good thing. The effect of levy limits is that instead of holding down property taxes at the local level, taxes are driven up. She reminded the viewing audience that the Council meeting dates for May have been changed. The Council will be meeting on the first and third Wednesday evenings in May: May 5 and May 19. This information is on the web site and on cable. The regular City Council meeting was adjourned at 9:25 PM. Respectfully submitted, Mary Shea Kodluboy Deputy Clerk r~ L ~4
