8 costs. He stated Falcon Heights and Lauderdale desire an agreement for every two or
three years and that that would mean there would have to be some kind of Contingency

22 with an opener for the third year.

41 Recycling Center. He reiterated his earlier statement that every rubbish hauler in
• City of St. Anthony
Council Minutes, May 10, 1994
Page 6
1 St. Anthony is required to pick up recyclables. Councilmember Enrooth
2 interjected that there were no exceptions and it is one of the conditions to be
3 approved for a license in the City. Bob Patterson, 3761 Foss Road, addressed the
4 Council. He is a new member of the Environmental Quality/Recycling Task
5 Force. Mr. Patterson agreed that there is reason to close the Recycling Center but
6 with all of the apartments, townhomes and condominiums, there wouldn't be much
7 chance for those residents to continue to recycle easily. Mr. Patterson indicated
8 he lives in the Fosston Townhomes and their rubbish hauler is Waste Management
9 of Blaine. At present; they have rubbish pick up two days a week and no pick up
10 of recyclables. After a meeting with Waste Management, the agreement was that
11 the rubbish haulers would pick up rubbish and recyclables one day a week. He
12 feels that everybody, whether townhomes or apartments, should be able to
13 recycle. Mayor Ranallo was of the opinion that if the haulers want to pick up
14 rubbish twice a week, that was all right, however they must pick up recycling
15 without any additional charge a minimum of once a week. Mayor Ranallo
16 suggested staff investigate the situation at the Fosston Townhomes and the Council
17 table this issue until their May 24th meeting.

9 Motion by Marks, second by Enrooth to table closure of the Recycling Center until
