buildings. This will save the City's General Fund Budget <br />$1,850 based on 1996 projections. This service is provided <br />by Bellaire Sanitation. <br />*Formalized clean -up day arrangements whereby Woodlake <br />Sanitatary Service will provide a once per year clean -up day <br />at no cost to the City. Rates to be charged residents at <br />the drop -off site will be arrived at in conjunction with <br />City staff. This will maintain the same program we have had <br />in place the last few years. <br />*Clarified that construction materials requiring the use of <br />a dumpster can be purchased under open pricing. This means <br />that a resident can contract with any hauler licensed in the <br />City to provide this service. <br />*Increased insurance limits consistent with contracts <br />existing in other Ramsey County jurisdictions. <br />*Provided for an annual weight estimate of refuse collected <br />based on actual weights collected during the month of <br />August. This will help us with future reporting <br />requirements. August was felt to be the best month on which <br />this estimate should be based. <br />*Included a provision that all refuse collected in Little <br />Canada must be disposed at an approved facility. <br />(Eliminated concern with out -of -state disposal.) <br />*Achieved a reduction in monthly cost for recycling services <br />from $2.25 to $2.00. <br />*Achieved an increase in the number of items accepted for <br />recycling through the addition magazines and junk mail. <br />Woodlake Sanitatio Services will also place a dumpster at <br />City Hall during July for recycling of phone books. <br />*Achieved free recycling pick -up at City Hall to be provided <br />by Bellaire Sanitation. <br />One other issue that was discussed related to the commingling of <br />recyclables. All haulers indicated that they will maintain <br />separation of recyclables during pick -up. Bellaire Sanitation <br />indicated to us that they had been commingling for a period of <br />time due to equipment problems. Those problems have been <br />corrected, and commingling will not take place in the future. <br />I would also like to commend John Pechman for his work in <br />obtaining the information we used in negotiating this renewal. <br />Kathy Glanzer and Kris VanSchoonhoven are also to be commended <br />for their assistance in arriving at an exceptional organized <br />collection contract. <br />Page 72 <br />
