Office of: <br />JOEL. R. HANSON, Administrator <br />515 Little Canada Road <br />Little Canada, MN 55117 <br />612-484-2177 <br />FAX: 612.484.4538 <br />CITY OF LITTLE CANADA <br />RAMSEY COUNTY, MINNESOTA <br />MEMORANDUM <br />TO: Mayor Fahey and Members of the City Council <br />FROM: Joel Hanson, City Administrator <br />DATE: April 6, 1990 <br />RE: Compost Site Evaluation <br />Attached is a memo prepared by Dave Harris, Superintendent <br />of Public Works, regarding the establishment of a compost <br />site within the City of Little Canada. As this memo <br />indicates, there are many practical difficulties in <br />establishment of a compost area with site availability <br />being a critical one. The information presented in this <br />memo was also confirmed by Mr. Zack Hanson, the new Solid <br />Waste Coordinator for Ramsey County. <br />Therefore, based on this memo and on the apparent lack of <br />an appropriate site, it would be my recommendation that the <br />City not pursue the establishment of a compost site. In <br />conjunction with this recommendation, I would propose that <br />we promote utilization of the Ramsey County compost sites <br />(a listing of which is attached) and establishment of <br />individual residential compost sites. (This information is <br />also attached). Should the Council decide to disregard my <br />recommendation, I would then suggest that we do a detailed <br />analysis of what is involved in the establishment of a <br />composting area within the City, to ensure that we have <br />adequate equipment, manpower, and site availability in <br />order that we can fully anticipate all of the implications <br />of this public service. <br />JH:kv <br />Enclosures <br />PAGE 81 <br />MAYOR <br />Michael Fahey <br />COUNCIL <br />Beverly Scalze <br />Bill Blazoner <br />Rick Coliova <br />Jim LoValle <br />
