1 Councilmember Enrooth indicated that in the absence of a recycling • <br /> 2 program and because of the appearance of some properties in St. Anthony, <br /> 3 the above would again be held this year. This led to a discussion of <br /> 4 whether the City's ordinance against vehicles being parked on dirt <br /> 5 surfaces was being enforced. Staff was requested to get a report from <br /> 6 the Police Department on the number of tags which had been issued to <br /> 7 violators. There was also a suggestion that the existence of "For Sale" <br /> 8 signs on vehicles parked for long periods of time around the Village <br /> 9 should also be investigated. <br /> 10 Waste Management's Recycling Container Seen as "Best Buy Around" <br /> 11 Ms. VanderHeyden presented the recycling bin from that hauler, <br /> 12 indicating it had not been hard to draw such a conclusion after seeing <br /> 13 quotes from other sources for the same type of containers. She reported <br /> 14 Waste Management's price of $5.54 . a piece for orders of 2,000 or more, <br /> 15 with delivery to the City not the individual households. This price was <br /> 16 not contingent upon that hauler being chosen as the prime hauler for <br /> 17 recyclable materials when the program goes into effect. The Assistant <br /> 18 to the City Manager indicated this was a one container system into <br /> 19 which a week's worth of a residential household's glass, cans and paper <br /> 20 could all be collected for one pick up a week which was preferable in <br /> 21 the interest of both limiting the need to carry wastes and recyclables <br /> 22 to the street by residents and providing safer conditions. <br /> 23 The price, which included the Village logo and was at least half of what <br /> 24 other containers would cost, seemed to appeal to the Councilmembers but <br /> 25 it was decided that a final decision should not be made until after the <br /> 26 proposed Recycling Ordinance is adopted. <br /> 27 It was also agreed that the City would be able to furnish each of the <br /> 28 1,800 households in the Village with a container with the money coming <br /> 29 from the County for that purpose and a supply would be kept at the City <br /> 30 offices from which households could purchase more if needed. <br /> .31 St. Anthony to Observe Arbor Week April 24th through 30th and Year of <br /> 32 the Young Reader in 1989 <br /> 33 A copy of the first proclamation had been included in the agenda packet <br /> 34 that evening 'and the copy of the second distributed prior to the <br /> 35 meeting. Mayor Sundland requested Council support by motion for both, <br /> 36 informing the Council that the St. Anthony Library planned a special <br /> 37 celebration of the latter. <br /> 38 Council Action <br /> 39 Motion by Marks, seconded by Makowske to support the Mayor's <br /> 40 Proclamation of April 24 through 30, 1989 as Arbor Week and 1989 as the <br /> 41 Year of the Young Reader in St. Anthony. <br /> 42 Motion carried unanimously. <br /> 10 • <br />
