(NRI) — Owner Rick Mark At the June 4, 2012 Council meeting, National Recycling owner Rick Mark and his Attorney David Schoenecker appeared before the Council to provide an update on the NRI transition plan. This plan included the completion of the Hugo site as a retail site by July, 2012. City staff and Council Members continue to receive calls concerning the appearance of the site. Rick Mark and David Schoenecker had indicated they were unable to move the steel off the site as quickly as they had anticipated and had asked for more time. Council directed NRI to attend this meeting and provide a progress report to the Council. Attorney David Schoenecker stated they had approximately 540 tons of steel come in to the Hugo site, and 1,100 tons shipped were out of the site during the month of June. He displayed pictures of the site showing how the pile has reduced over the past three months. Two semis have been purchased as well as an end -dump truck, which will be online next week. He stated they have reduced the price per ton from $180 to $100 in order to encourage haulers to go to their Cambridge site. David stated the general contractor, Brian Baas, has informed them the civil engineer is working with the City engineer on the approved plan, and they are anticipating the first phase of construction will begin in August. Rick Mark ensured the Council the piles would be gone by the time the snow flies. He also indicated that it could be moved faster if they were permitted to put on a second shift. Paul Ford, 15880 Foxhill Avenue North, was asked by Council what he personally thought of the idea of a second shift at NRI. Paul stated that he could not speak for the rest of the neighborhood, but he was only concerned about the noise, and didn't care if they added another shift. Miron made motion, Petryk seconded, to direct staff to schedule a meeting with the neighbors to discuss options for National Recycling, Inc. All Ayes. Motion carried.
