This <br /> letter addresses several issues that came up, and presents a work plan <br /> for proceeding to address the Council' s concerns. <br /> The following issues came up at the Mounds View meeting: <br /> 1. Alternative sites: <br /> The attached work plan includes tasks associated with searching for <br /> a new site. Please review and comment on the plan so that we can <br /> proceed. Note that it contains a very aggressive timeline. <br /> 2. Dumping on site: <br /> Dumping in the Park has been a problem, according to the City. The <br /> attached workplan contains several actions that can be taken now to <br /> begin to address this problem. This is a mutual issue, and we ask. <br /> that the City assist in preventing problems by taking the following <br /> actions: <br /> • remove the brush on-site at the present time <br /> • refrain from using Ardan Park park as a brush storage area <br /> • post "No Dumping" signs in the vicinity <br /> If these are not possible, we will need to discuss some short term <br /> ( inexpensive) measures to restrict access by the public when the <br /> yard waste site is not attended. <br /> 3. Odor: <br /> We have records of only two odor complaints in 1993, both from the <br /> same household. If you have any records, we would appreciate <br /> receiving them as well. <br /> We acknowledge that composting produces odor. The key is to manage <br /> the site so that odors are minimized and do not become offensive. <br /> We are voluntarily undertaking the. following steps to mitigate <br /> potential odors: <br /> Minnesota's First Home Rule County <br /> printed on recycled paper with a minimum of 10%post•consumer content <br /> (""ME) - <br />
