Council space had already been provided in the Blaine station to recycle those materials as soon as a system for compacting the materials is found which would make transportation economically feasible. 4 Mr. Gencauski mentioned that the National Recycling Conference will be 5 held that week in the St. Paul Radisson where approximately 2,000 people 6 from across the country were studying recycling. 7 Councilmember Marks reported that a resident who was not a Waste 8 Management, Inc. customer had complained to him about having to pay by 9 quarters for service which would not be provided for three months after 10 payment. He indicated he had pointed out to the complainant that 11 other services like newspapers also billed in advance of the product 12 they delivered. 13 Residents' Absence Bothers Councilmembers 14 Councilmember Ranallo commented that he was quite surprised that, 15 considering all the conversation which the recycling proposal had 16 generated throughout the community, none of those persons had bothered 17 to attend the hearing to express either their concerns about or 18 approval of the proposal. He said in view of all the publicity the 19 hearing had gotten and the notices which other garbage haulers had been 20 sent, he thought it was "quite lackadaisical" on the part of both 21 residents and haulers not to come to the hearing. Mayor Sundland 22 agreed with him that 1190 days from tonight, when the Council would be 73 awarding the contract for the recycling service would not be the time when public input would be invited". Councilmember Enrooth said he 25 perceived there was little else the City could have done to let the 26 residents know what their part was going to be in the recycling program 27 which they must have realized was inevitable from all the media 28 interest in the issue which had been demonstrated the last year or so. 29 When there was no response to the invitation to persons in attendance 30 "not to be shy about expressing their opinions", the hearing was closed 31 at 8:22 P.M. at which time the City Manager read aloud the resolution 32 staff was proposing, the wording of which he indicated had been taken 33 right from the law concerning organized collection. 34 Council Action 35 Motion by Marks, seconded by Enrooth to adopt Resolution 88-040 by which 36 the City of St. Anthony announces its intent to organize the collection 37 of solid waste in the City and invites the participation of interested 38 persons in planning and establishing the organized garbage collection. 39 RESOLUTION 88-040 40 A RESOLUTION OF INTENT REGARDING ORGANIZED SOLID 41 WASTE COLLECTION ^?
