Mounds View City Council Page Eight <br /> 0 Regular Meeting April 25, 1994 <br /> challenged the public to help the City find out who is doing the <br /> illegal dumping. If residents see suspicious activity or someone <br /> dumping illegally, get a license number or just call and report the <br /> incident to the City. Mayor Linke stated this would not just be for <br /> Ardan Park, but for all City parks. <br /> Bill Frits stated that Ramsey County has an attendant at the site <br /> who has not been directed to get license numbers. Mr. Frits <br /> indicated that the attendant was never instructed to take down <br /> license numbers, however, the attendant indicated he would be glad <br /> to do so if he were told to. Mr. Frits also indicated that the City <br /> hauls brush in and dumps it on the east side of the pond. Mounds <br /> View City trucks have been witnessed carrying brush into the site. <br /> Mayor Linke stated that it is. a Ramsey County facility and the City <br /> has nothing to do with it but haul out illegally dumped materials. <br /> Councilmember Blanchard asked if we could go up and instruct the <br /> attendant to take down license information. <br /> Samantha Orduno, City Administrator, stated that she was assured <br /> that Ramsey County officials have instructed the attendant to <br /> 410 observe for illegal dumping. <br /> Councilmember Trude stated that perhaps residents see the City's <br /> stockpile of brush and then the residents add to it. <br /> Unidentified resident indicated that he has observed City trucks <br /> dumping brush. <br /> Councilmember Trude indicated that there is a brush collection site <br /> at Bunker Hills. <br /> Gary Pollus, 8422 Pleasantview Drive, stated that Sunday he observed <br /> a red and while- fak—up at the right edge of the pond dumping b-rUsh <br /> ten minutes before the site opened. Mr. Poulus stated that he <br /> cannot believe that the City has no recourse for illegal dumping. <br /> If he were to pay his taxpayer a dollar a bag to his trash hauler <br /> the taxpayers would pay more than $4, 000. Pollus suggested making <br /> this a Mounds View compost site open only to Mounds View residents. <br /> Mike McClellan, 8345 Red Oak Drive, stated that he made 12 truck <br /> loads to site last fall. He indicated that he would not want to pay <br /> $1. 00 per bag. McClellan states that he believes the compost center <br /> is what his tax dollars go for. <br /> An unidentified resident stated that he took a load to the landfill <br /> and had to pay $15. 00 for a small truck load. <br /> 410 <br />
