MOUNDS VIEW City of Mounds View Staff R item No: 05E Meeting Date June 24, 2019 Type of Business: Council Business City Administrator Review: To: Honorable Mayor and City Council From: Nyle Zikmund, City Administrator Item Title/Subject: Resolution No. 9131, Approving Revisions to the Mounds View Solid Waste Management Standards Introduction: In 2014 the City Council directed Staff to work with Ramsey County to develop the Mounds View "Solid Waste Management Standards" to provide greater detail and specific requirements relating to garbage and recycling collection in the City of Mounds View. The objective of the "Standards" is to achieve a reduction in waste generated, encourage greater collection of recyclables, enhance participation among multi -family, commercial and industrial properties, promote best management practices, and ensure consistency with State and County laws, rules and ordinances. The Mounds View Solid Waste Management Standards were adopted by resolution in October 2014. Discussion: Staff recently reviewed the Standards and found that some revisions were needed. The major modification is to the insurance requirement. Staff has added a requirement specifically for roll off type vehicles that reduces the $5M requirement which Staff feels is excessive for these types of vehicles. We recently had a hauler withdraw their City license renewal application because they are an on-call roll off company that hauls some solid waste which requires City licensing, however, they felt the $5M was too excessive for the limited operations they have in Mounds View. The changes to the insurance requirements are as follows: Before a license is issued, the applicant shall file with the City Administrator evidence that the applicant has in effect public liability insurance for the hauler's business and for all vehicles as follows: The Mounds View Vision A Thriving Desirable Community
