Regular Meeting Page Two
'Terry Guggenbuehl, of the Metropolitan Council, reviewed
.he abatement guidelines the Met Council has established
and their program.
Attorney Meyers arrived at 7:22 PM.
Bill Frits expressed concern with having to pay higher
rates, due to recyclables and compostables, and stated
he did not feel` the average resident of Mounds View was
going to be willing to do all that sorting.
Ms. Docken explained the City must meet abatement target
levels, and they need the cooperation of the residents.
She added they hope to instill an environmental
consciousness in the citizens now, which would be the
first step.
Larry Saba, of Larry's Sanitation, stated he was concerned
with how much the charges to haulers would increase once
the garbage burning plants are open. He added that he
believes consolidation is a good idea if it is done
fairly, as he is concerned with the large haulers taking
over.
Mayor Linke suggested the smaller haulers could get
together and form a consortium, to provide a group
)id.
Dean Warden, of Ace Solid Waste, stated their rates
have been increasing continuously for both dumping and
insurance coverage.
Rick Lavka, of the Ramsey County Environmental Health
Agency, reviewed their program goals, and he answered
many questions about the financing and benefits to be
derived from the garbage burning plants.
There was considerable discussion about how to get the
residents to use the compost site, as it is very expensive
to take that material to the landfill and dump it.
Councilmember Hankner stated she would like more detailed
information, such as a cost breakdown from the haulers,
and she would like to further discuss how everyone can
work together better.
Clerk /Administrator Pauley pointed out the real issue
is a State law that is placing requirements on the
City to regulate solid waste and abate it from the
landfills.
\n unidentified resident stated she was willing to pay
txtra to her hauler to have her garbage picked up at
her garage, rather than taking it to the end of her
driveway, and she expressed concern as to whether all
haulers would be willing to do things like that.
Mounds View City Council
Regular Meeting
There was further discussion on problems the City is
xperiencing- presently with people dumping on other
,eople's property, or leaving it in their yards, and
how this plan would alleviate that problem as all
residents would be required to have the pick -up service
and pay for it.
It was agreed the issue would be discussed again in the
near future. and they would try to get further comments
from the residents and other haulers in the City. It
was agreed that the public hearing had been well
advertised, and letters had been sent to all haulers in
the City, but response had been very light.
Mayor Linke closed the public hearing and reopened the
regular meeting at 8:18 PM.
Motion /Second: Hankner /Haake to approve the consent
agenda, as presented, and waive the reading of the
resolutions.

aerk /Administrator,.Pauley explained this item was 11. Consideration
carried over from the last agenda session, at the of Staff Memo
request of the Council. Regarding
Interfund Loan Hankner stated she felt an interest for Warming
rate and payment plan should be specified for Houses
this, as has been done for all other projects that
have been interfunded in the City.
Councilmember Blanchard explained the process that
was used when the Council originally began the
interfund loan program, and how the availability
of the warming houses occurred.
Mayor Linke stated he would like to see the fund
kept, with a $10,000 balance.

clarified which fund the money should be kept in.
There was considerable discussion among the Council
of the current policies and intentions on granting
the loans and the planned repayment.
Finance Director Brager asked if the Council wanted
o forgive the loan, and if so, asked what would be
one with the funds that are available to be used to
repay part of the loan. He addeded that•if it is
going to be repaid, the Council should establish
the terms at this time.
Motion /Second: Linke /Quick to forgive the $24,000
loan on the warming houses and have $10,000 from the

park system, and from this point on, the Council will set
an interfund loan policy stating the interest rate and
repayment plans.
