Mounds View City Council January 25, 2016 <br />Regular Meeting Page 5 <br /> <br />the permit was closed out by the City. He encouraged the City to more closely monitor these <br />permits to ensure that contractors were conducting good business in the City of Mounds View. <br /> <br />Jim Perkins, 2559 Wooddale Drive, expressed concern with the new streets in Mounds View. <br />He stated Long Lake Road was under construction several years ago. He questioned why each <br />manhole was dug up, lowered and patched. He reported this work made the road extremely <br />bumpy. <br /> <br />Council Member Gunn clarified Long Lake Road was a County road and encouraged Mr. Perkins <br />to bring his concerns to the County. <br /> <br />Mr. Perkins believed that County Road H2 was too narrow and the current road width posed a <br />safety concern for vehicles that need to pull off to the side for emergency purposes. <br /> <br />Council Member Gunn thanked all of the residents in attendance and for offering their opinion. <br />She explained why the Council was looking further into organized collection stating the next <br />steps would offer the City more answers to the growing number of questions being raised. She <br />reported the next step was consortium, which would be a sit down between the City and the four <br />current refuse haulers. <br /> <br />Council Member Meehlhause stated the refuse haulers would now have to consider working <br />together in a consortium manner. If this were to proceed, it would mean the City would be <br />broken up into segments and only one hauler would be traveling the City streets. In addition, a <br />single refuse rate would be offered to all residents for three years. He commented organized <br />collection would not move forward until a discussion was held between the haulers and the City. <br />He explained that no decisions have been made by the City to date, but rather, the City was <br />working to gather additional information. <br /> <br />6.
