Item No. 1B <br />Type of Business: WK <br />WK: Work Session; PH: Public Hearing; <br />CA: Consent Agenda; CB: Council Business <br />City Administrator Review City of Mounds View Staff Report <br />To: Honorable Mayor and City Council <br />From: Tracy Juell, Administrative Assistant <br />Item Title/Subject: Ordinance Change to Chapter 603, Garbage and <br />Rubbish, Section 603.06, Sub 2, Requirements and <br />Restrictions <br /> <br />Meeting Date: March 1, 2005 <br /> <br />Background: <br />At the May 24, 2004 Council Meeting, Council directed Staff to make a revision to <br />Ordinance 603, Garbage and Rubbish, to reflect the restriction of residential garbage <br />collections to Wednesdays and Thursdays only. <br /> <br />Discussion: <br />Staff was informed in late January of this year that Larry’s Quality Sanitation was sold <br />to Waste Management, effective January 1, 2005. (It should be noted that the reason <br />two (2) days were chosen for garbage collections was because Larry’s Quality <br />Sanitation could not change their schedule due to the commitments they had in other <br />cities on Thursdays; therefore the Council decided on Wednesdays as well as <br />Thursdays. All of the other residential garbage haulers (Waste Management, Ace <br />Solid Waste, and BFI) collect garbage on Thursdays and it is the recommendation to <br />change Chapter 603 to designate Thursdays as residential garbage collection day. <br /> <br />I n light of this information, Chapter 603 of the City of Mounds View Municipal Code is <br />proposed to be amended. The proposed additions underlined and the proposed <br />deletions struck through to read as follows: <br /> <br />Additional verbiage to Ordinance 603, sub 2, Requirements and Restrictions is: <br /> <br />(5) Collection of garbage and rubbish materials for single family residence <br />shall be restricted to Wednesday’s and Thursdays only, except when <br />Wednesday or Thursday is a legal holiday. In the case of a holiday, the <br />collection will occur the following business day. <br /> <br />Recommendation: <br />To direct Staff to submit an ordinance revision to approve amending Ordinance 603 <br />to designate Thursday only garbage pickups for single family dwellings (see attached <br />proposed ordinance amendment). <br /> <br />Respectfully Submitted: <br /> <br /> <br />Tracy Juell, Administrative Assistant <br /> <br />
