515 Little Canada Road, Little Canada, MN 55117 -1600 (651) 484 -2177 / FAX: (651) 484 -4538 Email: cityhall @ci.little- canada.mn.us MEMORANDUM TO: Mayor Fahey and Members of the City Council FROM: Joel R. Hanson, City Administrator DATE: March 3, 2000 RE: Amendment to Organized Collection Ordinance MAYOR Michael I. Fahey COUNCIL Beverly Scalze Jim LaValle Steve Morelan Bob Pedersen ADMINISTRATOR Joel R. Hanson Based on the discussion at the last Council meeting, Jeff DeBace was contacted to determine if he was interested in an exemption to the Organized Collection Ordinance which would allow employees of refuse haulers to be able to dispose of their refuse at their place of employment. As you will recall, DeBace had requested an exemption given that a refuse hauler employs him and his employer provides free pick up for their employees. The Council's concern was in allowing additional garbage trucks on City streets. Mr. DeBace indicated that he was interested in an exemption even if it meant hauling his refuse to his place of employment. The ordinance draft has been modified accordingly. You will note that the attached ordinance also addresses exemptions for employees of refuse haulers when their employer is the one assigned by the City to the resident's collection area. We are also proposing that pick -up at the employee's residence would be allowed if it is the hauler assigned by the City to their current address. Lastly, we clarified that exemptions 1 and 3 must be applied for at our offices. For administrative efficiency and customer convenience, we are proposing that exemption 2 be done directly with the haulers. The haulers are to provide us with a log of these exemptions. Staff would recommend adoption of the proposed ordinance amendment attached. If you have any questions, please contact me. Page 32
