PUBLIC INPUT 28 <br /> 29 <br />Harold Baty, 7760 Greenwood Drive, read a letter to the Council regarding organized garbage 30 <br />collection in the City of Mounds View. He did not understand why the City was pursuing 31 <br />organized collection and recommended the City allow for a free market. He explained his 32 <br />mother has had Ace since the 1960’s and was extremely happy with their service. He noted he 33 <br />and his wife use Walter’s. He believed that a monopoly would lead to higher pricing for Mounds 34 <br />View residents. It was his opinion that a single hauler was a solution to a problem the City did 35 <br />not have. He encouraged the City to not take away the individual rights of its residents. 36 <br /> 37 <br />Jim Perkins, 2559 Wooddale Drive, stated he was opposed to organized garbage collection. He 38 <br />feared how the haulers would be impacted if the City selected a single provider. He did not 39 <br />believe it was the City’s right to dictate which garbage hauler residents should have. He believed 40 <br />that if this were to move forward that the sitting Council members would be removed. He 41 <br />reminded the Council that this was America and encouraged the City not to support a monopoly. 42 <br /> 43
