• <br />ENVIRONMENTAL BOARD MEETING October 26, 2011 <br />Mr. Asleson has put this item on an upcoming City Council agenda and wanted to <br />run this item by the Environmental Board first to see if the Board had any <br />concerns. <br />Mr. Heiskary stated it seems like the Board either goes all the way or not at all. <br />Ms. O'Dea stated residents would get the best bid the larger of a recycle area. She <br />also stated the Board could have an investigation on this topic with all the facts <br />and residents will still say they want to choose their own provider. <br />Mr. Heiskary stated we have the worst streets here in Lino Lakes and need to do <br />something about it. <br />Mr. Asleson stated he will contact haulers to see how may have garbage and <br />recycling and how may have only garbage pick -up with no recycling. <br />Ms. O'Dea questioned if other cities who switched to organized garbage <br />collection let the residents vote on the change. If not, she would like to know who <br />decided to change to one hauler? <br />Ms. Asleson stated he will call a few cities to find out how and why they went <br />through the process. <br />In Maple Grove, Waste Management rewards citizen's for recycling based on the <br />number of pounds recycled with gift cards, etc. Our city should ask for an <br />incentive program such as theirs. <br />D. 2011 and 2012 Environmental Board Goals <br />The following are the proposed 2012 EB Goals with changes from Board <br />members: <br />2012 Environmental Goals <br />• Promote environmental stewardship with the citizens of Lino Lakes by <br />communicating environmental initiatives in the city using various means of <br />communication such as: <br />• City Web Pages <br />• Newsletter <br />Spring <br />Summer <br />Fall <br />Winter <br />• Homeowner's association meetings and publishing on their websites. <br />• Press Coverage <br />• Earth Day <br />DRAFT MINUTES 3 <br />
