Motion Carried. 8.6 _Compost Recycling Facility As per previous Council direction, the city staff has been exploring the possibility of providing a compost recycling facility within the city limits. Administrative intern, Lynn Rabuse, has been working with representatives of Washington County on this proposal. An approved site has been identified by Washington County and can be secured by the city by claiming it as tax forfeited land. The site is located on 170th Street, just east of Fenway Avenue. The start-up cost for this project would be borne by Washinqton County as well as much of the on-going operating and maintenance costs. If the City Council wishes to pursue this project, the appropriate action at this time would be to direct the Mayor and City Clerk to make application to Washington County for acquisition of the tax forfeited land on behalf of the City of Hugo. Ms. Rabuse submitted a report and project budget to the Council for their review.
