JULY CONMISSION MEETING; Terry Iverson, Laura Kuettel, Marty McCleery, and council liaison Sara Jacobs were the only Commission members present for the July meeting, which took place at the waste treatment facility at the Mall of America. No written agenda or minutes were generated. If enough interest is shown, a second visit may be scheduled for those who were unable to attend. As part of the July meeting, the members present briefly discussed the Solid Waste Reduction Week open house and the potential liability of cities for cleanup of landfills located on city property or to which city waste has been transported. No formal action was taken regarding either issue at the July meeting. SOLID WASTE REDUCTION WEEK: An open house and educational program has been scheduled for 6 :30 to 8:30 p.m. on September 30, 1993, to coincide with Solid waste Reduction Week, which is September 27 through October 2, 1993. The event will be co- sponsored by the cities of Falcon Heights and Lauderdale, and Jill Poeschl, administrative assistant for the city of Lauderdale, attended the meeting to plan the event. Displays, presentations, handout materials, and "freebies" will be solicited from E -Z Recycling, Supercycle (Lauderdale's recycling provider), all licensed waste haulers in both cities, Ramsey County, the Minnesota Pollution Control Agency, and the Office of Waste Management. Commercial users of recyclable materials will be approached for information or demonstrations. Some children's games will be developed, and if the budget allows, refreshments will be available. There was some discussion of holding the event in a more central location, such as in a tent at Larpenteur Snelling or the Gibbs Farm parking lot, but it was determined to be too late to make such arrangements for this year's event. If weather does not allow outdoor activities and additional space is needed, Terry Iverson will seek authorisation to use the firehouse. Terry will also prepare a master list and coordinate /delegate planning duties. Plans will be finalized at the September commission meeting. Jeff Pains, mayor of Lauderdale, will attend the September meeting.
