MEMO TO: Mayor and City Council FROM: City Planner Hren DATE; November 21, 1989 SUBJECT: ORGANIZED GARBAGE COLLECTION The Mounds View City Council has given direction to City Staff to Pursue organized solid waste collection for the City of Mounds View. The first step in this process is to adopt a resolution that expresses the City's intent to organize solid waste collection in the City. Adopting this resolution does not obligate the City to go with organized collection, but rather allows haulers to freely discuss a plan of action without violating anti-trust laws. The adoption of this resolution, after a public hearing, by law, starts a ninety (90) day waiting period. During this time the haulers and the City can review all the options. The haulers may make a proposal to the City Council, the City can send out RFP's, the City can go out for bid or negotiate with a hauler. The City Council indicated that April 1, 1990, is the implementation date for organized collection. Based on that start date, the following schedule must be adhered to: November 27, 1989 December 11, 1989 March 11, 1990 March 12-31, 1990 April 1, 1990 Set public hearing for 12/11/89 Notification to haulers Hold public hearing Adopt resolution expressing intent to organize Starts 90-day waiting period Ends 90-day waiting period Make determination, award contract Implement organized solid waste collection system At some time, the City will have to pass a resolution that mandates all residents to participate in the organized solid waste collection.
