UPDATE ON REFUSE HAULER LICENSE IN VICTOR GARDENS At its September 5, 2006 meeting, Council listened to City Attorney Dave Snyder as he explained that a letter had been received from a resident in the Victor Gardens subdivision requesting a review of the refuse haulers license in his neighborhood. Specifically, the Victor Gardens Homeowners Association had contracted with Lakeville Sanitation, who in turn subcontracted to local hauler Gene's Sanitation. Dave reported to Council that he would review this issue in more detail and provide Council with an update at an upcoming meeting. Since that time, staff received notification from both Lakeville Sanitation and Gene's Sanitation that the contract for the VGHA has been transferred and awarded to Gene's Sanitation. Staff would like to clarify this issue for the resident who first brought the matter to the City's attention, as well as to Hugo residents, that Gene's Sanitation is a licensed hauler in the City and is now currently the approved and designated hauler in the Victor Gardens neighborhood since June 2006.
