Mr. Volk also noted the success of both the spring <br />and fall clean up days and the new program for chipping Christmas <br />trees. He explain that the goal for 1992 is 537 tons of <br />recyclable material. All residents are being asked to join and <br />participate in the recycling programs. Mr. Volk credited the <br />citizens of Lino Lakes for making the program work. <br />Mr. Bohjanen, 8060 Lake Drive asked if there were new drivers on <br />some of the recycling routes. He noted that his material had not <br />been picked up for some time. Mr. Volk will check on this <br />matter. <br />Mayor Reinert asked about the goals for recycling. Mr. Volk <br />explained that the state sets goals for the counties and the <br />counties set the goals for each municipality. A negative <br />response to the set goals means a reduction in funding. In 1991, <br />Lino Lakes received $24,000.00 to implement its recycling plan. <br />Mr. Volk explained that a recycling newsletter is currently being <br />prepared. He noted that there may be problems in achieving goals <br />without implementing some type of reward. He also explained that <br />some of the articles picked up for recycling do not have any <br />recyclable value. There is currently a glut of recyclable <br />articles on the market. It now appears that each municipality <br />may have to pay to have recyclable plastics hauled away. <br />Mayor Reinert thanked Mr. Volk for his report. <br />Introduction of Rice Creek Watershed District Advisory Board <br />Representative, Reinhard Alexejew, 6110 Baldwin Lake Road - Mr. <br />Alexjew introduced himself an..explained that he had just <br />attended his first meeting.
