t . -7- Makowske -perceived many of St. Anthony' s residents are senior citizens who might have neither the inclination or trans- portation to take their recyclables to the center; and -thought the City would eventually have to undertake both collection systems. Ranallo -responded by saying, surprisingly the majority of the residents who bring their recyclables to the center now are seniors. Enrooth -said it would be important to have regular pickups if the program is to be undertaken; -wouldn't want junk sitting around as in Minneapolis now; -suggested some service organization might have an interest in underwriting this program. Sundland -recalled the "Clean-Up Days" which had been sponsored by the JC' s which might be used as some other service club as the basis for an expanded program of collections. Marks -agreed the collections would have to be made at least monthly to be effective; -suggested that might be a problem in harsher winters. Sundland -was concerned that the problems the City had experienced with garbage cans sitting at curbside all week before the staff had worked with the rubbish haulers to schedule regular pickup days for specific neighborhoods might be repeated with monthly pickups. The Council agreed to wait for further input from the City Manager on the issue. Robert Spano Appointed as St. Anthony' s Representative to the Eastside Hennepin County Human Services Advisory Committee Mr. Spano' s January 30th letter indicating his interest in the above service had been included in the agenda packet. The Manager had been directed at the last Council meeting to contact Hennepin County to see if he would be eligible to serve because his residence was north of 37th Avenue N.E. and therefor in Ramsey County. Mayor Sundland said he perceived Hennepin County had considering having a representative from St. Anthony on the Committee was more important than where he lived. •
