Mounds View City Council April 23, 1990 <br /> Regular Meeting Page Six <br /> Clerk/Administrator Pauley reviewed a letter re- <br /> ceived from Ramsey County requesting the City <br /> consider allowing the compost site in Mounds <br /> View to be open during the summer months. The <br /> County would establish a schedule to remove yard <br /> waste at least weekly, and would bear the cost. <br /> Motion/Second: Wuori/Paone to approve the <br /> request of Zack Hansen, of the Ramsey County Public <br /> Health Department-, to keep the Ardan Avenue com- <br /> posting site open throughout the summer for grass <br /> clippings, with the County to remove them at a <br /> minimum of once a week, at their cost. If con- <br /> ditions are found to be unacceptable at any time, <br /> the City would remove its approval. <br /> 5 ayes 0 nays Motion Carried <br /> Councilmember Quick expressed concern with odor, <br /> as residents of that area are unhappy with it <br /> already. He reviewed the history of how the <br /> compost site came to be located there, and he <br /> stated he felt it would serve both the City and <br /> the County better if it was moved to County <br /> property at County Road H and Highway 8. <br /> Mr. McCarty explained that site was turned down <br /> originally as it is not large enough and also is <br /> too close to Rice Creek. He added he feels the <br /> process of removing the material every 2-3 days <br /> will help considerably with the odor and he <br /> invited anyone who has a problem with the odor <br /> to call him at home at 784-6074, at the office <br /> at 298-4145, or if he is unreachable, the public <br /> works department at 298-4127. He further reviewed <br /> the cost of having bagged materials taken away. <br /> Councilmember Quick stated he felt the open space <br /> at Highway 8 and County Road H is larger than <br /> believed. He noted the water shed is very close <br /> to the present site now, which the County has not <br /> done anything about. <br /> Mr. McCarty noted there is a steep incline in <br /> the land at Highway 8 and County Road H. He <br /> further reviewed what is considered yard waste. <br /> Mr. Minetor reviewed his memo of April 18 con- 13.
