Mounds View City Council October 27, 2014 <br />Regular Meeting Page 3 <br /> <br /> <br />ROLL CALL: Gunn/Hull/Meehlhause/Mueller/Flaherty. <br /> <br /> Ayes – 5 Nays – 0 Motion carried. <br /> <br /> B1. Second Reading and Adoption of Ordinance 891, an Ordinance Updating <br />Chapter 603 of the Mounds View Municipal Code Relating to Recycling and <br />Garbage Collection – Roll Call Vote. <br /> <br />City Administrator Ericson stated the Council has been working on this item for several months. <br />He reported that representatives from Ramsey County have reviewed the City’s licensing and <br />recycling requirements. He indicated Mounds View was the only community in Ramsey County <br />that did not have organized recycling collection. Staff reviewed the proposed changes to City <br />Code and recommended the Council adopt Ordinance 891. <br /> <br />Mayor Flaherty asked if local vendors have had a chance to review the proposed code <br />amendment. <br /> <br />Michael Bay, Ace Solid Waste, did not support the language requiring that haulers report rate <br />increases to the City of Mounds View. He believed this was an overreach by the City. <br />Otherwise he had no trouble with the revisions. <br /> <br />Jean Buckley, Ramsey County, commended the City for tightening up their code. She discussed <br />how the MPCA was interested in collecting data from all garbage haulers regarding commercial <br />trash. She reported this would not impact cities and would be managed by refuse haulers. <br /> <br />Council Member Mueller noted the start time for refuse pick up was being amended to 7:00 a.m. <br />to comply with the City’s noise ordinance. She asked if this would have a negative impact on the <br />refuse haulers. Mr. Bay did not see this being a concern. <br /> <br />Council Member Mueller questioned if Ace has considered offering composting services to <br />commercial customers. Mr. Bay stated there has been talk about offering organics collection <br />with recycling. He believed that as time went on and it became more cost effective, organics <br />collection could become a reality. <br /> <br />MOTION/SECOND: Mueller/Gunn. To approve the Second Reading and Adopt Ordinance <br />891, an Ordinance Updating Chapter 603 of the Mounds View Municipal Code Relating to <br />Recycling and Garbage Collection and direct staff to publish the summary. <br /> <br />ROLL CALL: Gunn/Hull/Meehlhause/Mueller/Flaherty. <br /> <br /> Ayes – 5 Nays – 0 Motion carried. <br /> <br />B2.
