Assistant City Attorney Ketchum reported he could have this protection written into the <br />final contract. <br /> <br />Dennis Frohm, 7840 Bona Road, reminded the Council that when the haulers were before the City <br />Council a month ago, the majority did not support organized collection, but rather recommended <br />the City keep the market open for trash collection. He encouraged the Council to keep their minds <br />open and to allow the small companies to provide services in Mounds View through free enterprise. <br /> <br />CR Barragan, 7765 Spring Lake Road, explained he was retired, on a fixed income. He reported <br />he could no longer negotiate the credits to his trash account, but reported he was able to negotiate <br />the debits. He stated he would like to continue to live with this option. <br /> <br />Council Member Lindstrom stated he supported the Council tabling action on this item to see if a <br />petition comes forward.
