4111 <br /> MEMO TO: Mounds View Parks and Re r:: tion Comm. <br /> / <br /> FROM: Bruce K . Anderson, NI t.g� <br /> Parks, Recreation - '6 I. :'str% <br /> DATE: January 25, 1983 <br /> RE: Composting information <br /> Attached are two articles outlining possible leaf composting <br /> programs that could be initiated in the City of Mounds View. <br /> City Forester Wriskey attended a one day seminar on composting <br /> approximately one month ago and returned with some startling <br /> information as to the major impact that leaves , grass clippings, <br /> etc. add to our nationwide solid waste problem. <br /> Staff is not looking for a resolution to this problem, on Thursday <br /> evening , but rather is bringing the issue to the forefront as we <br /> feel it should be dealt with at some level during the coming <br /> months . The City of New Brighton was able to receive a grant <br /> from the State Department for developing a neighborhood composting <br /> program and they envision going into a citywide composting program <br /> in 1983 . Staff would encourage each of the commissioners to read <br /> the enclosed information so that we might be able to have City <br /> • Forester Wriskey attend the February meeting and explain how <br /> some type of a composting program might be initiated in the City <br /> of Mounds View. <br /> Once again, should you have any questions regarding composting or <br /> the contents of the two articles , feel free to contact staff <br /> directly at 784-3055 , extension # 41 and we would be more than <br /> happy to answer any questions you might have prior to the February <br /> meeting . <br /> BKA/sll <br /> Attachment <br /> • <br />
