This committee would not need to meet on a regular bais, only when necessary.

All aye. Motion Carried. 7.E Compost Site Proposal for Hugo Mr. Jim Hulbert, Washington County Health Department, has indicated that the City of Hugo is being considered for a compost site to serve the White Bear Lake, Hugo, and Mahtomedi areas. Providing a compost site in the City of Hugo would be a significant step in meeting our mandated requirements for solid waste alternatives that must be complied with by 1988. To properly facilitate a compost site, we would need a 3 acre tract of land located somewhere in the southwestern part of the community. If a city owned or leased site can be secured, the county will pay for the cost of constructing roadways, fences, gates, and other necessary access to the site. The county will either maintain the site or pay the city for maintenance of the site. The city may also charge for use of the site, and some communities have made their compost sites profit making, in that some refuse haulers need an economical alternative to dumpsites, and the city could charge refuse haulers for dumping at the compost site. Representatives of the Washington County Health Department are strongly encouraging the city look into the possibility of providing a site herein Hugo. The Council was in agreement that this would be a good project, and suggested that the Administrator get some one from Washington County to appear at a Council meeting to describe the operation. 8.A Resolution Authorizing Closeout of Sinking Fund City Clerk, Mary Ann Creager, has noted that the final principal and interest payment on the bonds for the 1975 Storm Sewer Sinking Fund have been made. After the final payment was made, there is a balance in the fund account of approximately $23,000.00. We have discussed this situation in detail with the city auditors, and they concur that the balance in this sinking fund and any delinquent assess- ments collected be deposited in other city sinking funds. In that the assess- ments for the Lake Air Estates public improvement project have been prepaid by the developer, and the city has no call provision for prepayment of bonds, we are recommending that the balance remianing in the 1975 Storm Sewer Sinking fund be transferred to the Lake Air Estates Sinking Fund. Motion made by Vail, Peltier seconded, to adopt RESOLUTION 1987-34, A RESOLUTION AUTHORIZING THE CLOSEOUT OF 1975 STORM SEWER SINKING FUND. All aye. Motion Carried. 8.B Fire Department Recruitment Procedure A minitrator Fire Chief, Ron Istvanovich, and the Cit ave Teen working on the development of a procedure to handle the recruitment of future firefighters for the Hugo Fire Department. It is our intent to handle recruitment on a quarterly basis, and that each applicant follow the same procedure and be thoroughly screened before being appointed by the City Council.
