LAKE ELMO CITY COUNCIL MINUTES JUNE 20, 1989 PAGE 2 provided to Washington County as part of its Grant requirements. The County has approved this plan and the City has received the $5000. In regard to the survey that will be conducted, Councilman Graves stated he was in favor of trying to encourage residents to participate in recycling, but felt the results would be more accurate if the study was run under real conditions-- which is looking at the participation rate of those who buy the containers. M/S/P Graves/Willia.ms - to authorize expenditure of $5000 (amount of grant funds requested) for purchasing recycling containers. (Motion carried 4-0). Chairman Dunn advised the Council the Solid Waste Committee has discussed organized collection. If the government was going to manage solid waste effectively, Dunn felt they would have to have organized collection. Councilman Graves asked "why do we have to have organized collection if we feel we have an acceptable situation today". Dunn responded that this was the only way you are going to manage the solid waste ---it gives more teeth to the hauler. Councilman Hunt asked for information on how cities are addressing large scale solid waste. 5. REAPP REPORT ReAPP member, Teddie Carlson, pointed out problems with the structure of Genereux's questionaire; such as the data base was very small, interviews lasted a little over a week in March and wasn't able to get a good cross-section of different types of skiers.
