• <br />• <br />CITY COUNCIL WORK SESSION NOVEMBER 4,1998 <br />Kim stated she is very interested in visiting conservation areas in Chicago. She was very <br />impressed with the developers participation in the meetings. John added that he was very <br />encouraged by those meetings held last. <br />Kim stated the environmental consultants will make a presentation to Council on <br />Monday, December 14, 1998. <br />CITIZENS CONCERNS, CAROLINE DAHL <br />Caroline stated she received calls from three (3) residents about garbage pick up within <br />the City. 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 />
