1 <br />Memorandum <br />To: <br />Mounds View Council <br />From: <br />Administrator Zikmund <br />Date: <br />June 29, 2023 <br />Re: <br />July 5, 2023 Workshop <br />Discussion on order of items: <br />Suggest council review order of items and reorder based on consensus discussion of importance. <br />Final three items are not urgent but serve to advise council what is on the "workshop agenda" list. <br />The August work session currently has nothing on it. Commissioner Frethem will be here in <br />September and we should plan an hour for that visit. <br />1. Organized Solid Waste Collection: <br />Council has met the statutory requirement of meeting and conferring with the haulers. <br />Feedback from the haulers was a request for strategic goals, feedback on service, as well as their <br />opinion on organized solid waste collection. One hauler inquired if Council was reviewing other <br />services and highlighted school buses and delivery trucks. Staff advised the hauler to forward <br />information they indicated they had. Staff has not received any information. <br />Data shared during the public information sessions include/provide substantive evidence that <br />refuse trucks are indisputably the heaviest (most frequent) and thus the highest concern. If <br />council wishes, staff can undertake more research. <br />The survey remains live and will provide the most updated information at the meeting. <br />If council wishes to move forward the next steps include; <br />1. Determining those strategic goals — Cost, Environmental Impact (Noise/Quantity of Trucks), <br />Infrastructure Impact (streets) for example <br />2. Determine whom is impacted —Single Family, Two Family (Duplex), Four Family (Four Plex) <br />a. Single and Two family are practically included as the statute includes them and up to <br />four plexes. Staff advises, based on a tour of a number of our four plexes that <br />challenges of including the outweigh the benefits. Many are using dumpsters, have <br />limited space for containers which also may result in others using, etc. Absent a <br />contiguous — same owner complex; challenges may outweigh benefits. Of note, <br />there was minimal trash/debris outside containers. Thus some evidence the trash is <br />in the desired waste stream. <br />3. Have K & G prepare draft resolution for council review and consensus. <br />
