-5- to various matters conducted in the Hennepin County Municipal Court, March 5th • before the report was ordered filed, as were the February Fire Department report, District #282 minutes, the liquor operations sales summary, and the January 31st Finance Report. In his March 21st memorandum, Mr. Hamer had recommended the establishment of a Recycling and Beautification Fund into which monies received from the sale of materials collected at the City's recycling center could be deposited for use for future City beautification or property development projects, The Public Works Director indicated the center had picked up in volume ever since the operation had changed and it had been necessary to have someone take care of separating aluminum and performing other duties he perceives are necessary every day and not periodically. It was his suggestion that a laborer be assigned to spend about 10 minutes a day to perform those duties. As an indication of the increase in business at the center, Mr. Hamer reported the receipts from the sale of glass alone had exceeded $300 in two weeks time; the aluminum had brought in close to $50. in the same time and the City was earning about $200 every two months for the sale of newspaper. These revenues could be used to purchase and plant trees on Kenzie Terrace, pay for part of the fountain costs, for landscaping for the right-of-way near the Hobo Restaurant the City maintains, and perhaps, start beautification projects near the Dairy Queen and in the median in the Industrial Park and the Public Works Director said he would like to see some more work done around the retention basin (Mirror Lake) .
