The City has bid this vehicle both with the Hennepin County Cooperative purchasing group and the State of Minnesota purchasing group. The Hennepin County Bid was with North Star International Trucks, Inc. for $40,132.00 and the State of Minnesota bid was with Lakeland Ford Truck Sales, Inc. for $38,644.89.

Council Member Elliott moved to approve the low bid of $38,644.89 from Lakeland Ford Truck Sales, Inc. Council Member Bergeson seconded the motion. Motion carried unanimously. First Reading, Ordinance No. 93 - 02, Solid Waste Hauler Licensing - Mr. Volk explained that the Solid Waste Advisory Committee has been drafting this ordinance for most of 1992 and into 1993. Other ordinances of this type were researched, meetings were held with the waste haulers and data was collected from the Lino Lakes citizens via a questionnaire. This ordinance is proposed to be an amendment to the current solid waste ordinance which requires solid waste collection service for every residential household in Lino Lakes. The two (2) primary provisions of Ordinance No. 93 - 02 are as follows: 1) it allows the City to meet the state mandate that all residential haulers be licensed, and 2) it limits as best as can presently be done, the number of refuse vehicles using the City streets. The maximum number of licenses to be issued by the City is five (5) and through attrition the maximum number of licenses issued shall decrease to four (4). There were no comments from the City Council or the audience on this matter. PAGE 2 1 1 1
