Garbage Haulers - Mayor Reinert noted that the City currently allows four haulers in the <br />city. He understands that choice to residents is important but does result in a lot of <br />trucks on City streets each week (the number of trucks has gone up over the years). He’s <br />suggesting, for discussion, maybe it’s time to go to three haulers, through a licensing <br />attrition process. <br /> <br />Council Member Stoesz suggested looking at what other cities have in their code in this <br />area. The mayor concurred. <br /> <br />Environmental Coordinator Asleson remarked that using attrition could prove to take a <br />long time. There isn’t a lot turn over. <br /> <br />Council Member Manthey said he likes the idea of reduction. <br /> <br />The council would like more information on reducing the number of haulers. <br />
