One resident called and indicated a rental property next door did not have <br /> garbage pick up and as a result she now has rats. The resident asked if there is a system <br /> in place to determine who does have garbage pick up. The resident also said she was in <br /> favor of a City wide garbage pick up requirement. Marty stated because it is a health <br /> issue,the resident should report her complaint to the Police Department. Andy added <br /> that the County Health Department is visiting the property tomorrow. He stated the City <br /> needs to hire an exterminator to get rid of the rats. <br /> Caroline stated that another resident called from the 625 Ash Street area and complained <br /> about a rental property that burns their garbage. The resident is concerned with the smell <br /> from the garbage burning. Dave stated the Police Department should be notified. <br /> Caroline stated a third resident called regarding garbage pick up on another rental <br /> property. The Police Department is taking care of this complaint. <br /> Caroline passed out an article regarding a Reforestation Program being done by <br /> Shoreview. The program offers residents a chance to buy trees at wholesale prices and <br /> offers help in planting the trees if the property owner is unable. The trees are not <br /> guaranteed. The program is a way to replace trees that were lost in this year's storms. <br /> Kim stated the Friends of the Parks has an annual tree sale that offers trees at a <br /> discounted price. Dave suggested this annual event be advertised so residents are aware <br /> of the sale. Andy suggested the Friends of the Parks sell Christmas Trees and Poinsettias <br /> as well. <br /> Kim indicated she will speak with Sandie to see what can be done to improve the sale. <br /> 1998 GENERAL ELECTION REVIEW,MARILYN ANDERSON <br /> Kim stated this item will be addressed at the regular Council meeting, Monday, <br /> November 9, 1998. <br /> 3 <br />
