DEC-12 -1990 16:49 FROM SWEENEY 2 BORER <br />Thomas M. Sweeney <br />George F. Borer <br />Paul T. Ostrow <br />Douglas B. Meslow <br />TO LITTLE- CANADA P.02%08 <br />Sweeney & Borer <br />Professional Association <br />Attorneys at Law <br />Suite 1200 <br />Capital Centre <br />386 North Wabasha Street <br />St. Paul, Minnesota 55102 <br />December 12, 1990 <br />Mr. Joel R. Hanson <br />City Administrator <br />515 Little Canada Road <br />Little Canada, MN 55117 <br />Re: An Ordinance Amending the Garbage, <br />Recyclable Materials and Rubbish Storage <br />and Collection Ordinance to Provide for <br />Mandatory Recycling for Residential Dwelling Units <br />Our File No. 6621 <br />Dear Mr. Hanson: <br />Telephone <br />(612) 222-2541 <br />Facsimile <br />(612) 223.5289 <br />Please find enclosed pursuant to your request and the <br />Council's direction, an Ordinance Amending the Garbage, <br />Recyclable Materials and Rubbish Storage and Collection <br />ordinance to Provide for Mandatory Recycling for Residential <br />Dwelling Units. Prior to the preparation of the Ordinance, I <br />discussed this matter at some length with Dave Harris, <br />Superintendent of Public Works. <br />Under Section 809.055 of the enclosed Ordinance, all <br />licensed collection services would be required to provide <br />recycling collection service for residential dwelling units. <br />The definition of "residential dwelling unit" is expanded to <br />include all residences within the City, and would therefore <br />include mobile homes, town houses, condominiums, or apartment <br />buildings. Pursuant to my discussions with Mr. Harris, I have <br />also added a requirement that haulers within the City provide <br />the Superintendent of Public Works with the total tonnage of <br />collection of recyclable materials and refuse on a monthly <br />basis. Finally, this Section requires licensees to provide an <br />annual list of multi - family residential customers, and to report <br />monthly on any changes in its multi- family customers. <br />The enclosed Ordinance will also add language to Section <br />809.080 allowing the City to provide or contract for collection <br />services where a property owner fails to do so, and calls for <br />assessing the property owner for any resulting costs. <br />Page 19 <br />
