Regular Council Meeting Minutes <br /> April 26, 1994 <br /> Page 4 <br /> There are five issues identified. One of them has to do with recycling. There may be problems <br /> in the ability for apartment dwellers to have curbside recycling and if the City Recycling Center <br /> shuts down, that will effectively shut off their ability to recycle. Recycling for businesses and <br /> schools is another issue. Another category is public education. There are solid waste issues in <br /> the schools of St. Anthony. Another issue is that of the storm water quality, specifically as it <br /> relates to Silver Lake. In addition, there are homeowner conservation issues. <br /> Mayor Ranallo stated he felt education and news releases are extremely important. Ranallo <br /> indicated residents seem to want about four or five different types of collections. The Mayor <br /> emphasized educating the residents regarding the Recycling Center. Residents need to know <br /> that the Recycling Center is costing the City money and that we have Iost the major funding that <br /> was allowing us to keep it open. <br /> Enrooth stated that when Hennepin County started five years ago with a media blitz, the County <br /> became leading recycling county in the world, if you believe some statistics. But in the last three <br /> years, virtually nothing has been done. <br /> Mr. Bergstrom stated he was looking at all the different sources-of information. He stated that <br /> the watershed district, the City, the County, and probably consultants working for different <br /> •agencies will have some information. <br /> Mayor Ranallo thanked Doug Bergstrom and the Environmental Quality/Recycling Task Force <br /> for their work and efforts and hoped they would make the press releases a high priority. <br /> B.
