<br />.. 1A <br />" <br /> Minutes of Regular Public SafetylWorks Committee Meeting <br />. Village of Arden Hills <br /> July 16, 1987 <br /> Village Hall <br /> Call to Order <br /> The meeting was called to order at 7:30 p.m. by Chairman Schultek. <br /> Roll Call <br /> Present: Dick Schultek, Rob Carley, Bill Gillies, Duane Long, Paul Malone, <br /> David McClung, Bud Steglich, Donald Zehm <br /> Absent: Roy Ambli, Jerry Timm, Ed Trolander <br /> Also Present: Mayor Robert L. Woodburn, Public Works Supervisor Robert W. <br /> Raddatz <br /> Approval of Minutes <br /> Don Zehm pointed out that on page 2, last paragraph, line 2, "confined entry" <br /> should read "confined space entry". With this correction, the minutes of June <br /> 18, 1987, were approved as submitted. <br /> Review of Police and Fire Department Reports <br /> Total incidents reported in June were 15% fewer than reported in June of 1986. <br /> Number of fire calls answered in 1987 shows a 124% increase over 1986, <br /> presumably due to the dry weather (mostly grass fires). The number of <br />. residential burglaries has decreased markedly. The Lake Johanna beach will <br /> continue to be closely patrolled by deputies. <br /> Report on Recyclin~ <br /> The ad hoc Solid Waste Management Committee, (Paul Malone, Mary Trisko, Gloria <br /> Kuehn, Nancy Hansen) met July 9 with Colleen Halpine of Ramsey County's <br /> Environmental Health Agency, and reviewed with her Ramsey County's expectations <br /> of the cities as well as suggestions from her for implementing a recycling <br /> program in Arden Hills. <br /> The goal set by Ramsey County for Arden Hills in 1987 is 240 tons of recyclable <br /> materials collected. We are credited with all leaves and clipping taken to the <br /> compost site - 230 tons estimated - so meeting 1987's goal does not seem to be <br /> a problem. The goal for 1988 will be increased 100 tons; in 1989 100 tons <br /> more, with the eventual goal of 16% of waste recycled by 1990. <br /> Ms. Halpine was asked what Ramsey County would do if the city failed to meet <br /> its goals. She stated that a mandatory recycling ordinance would probably be <br /> instituted, and they (Ramsey County) would provide a recycling service to the <br /> city which they would then manage (and residents would probably pay for). <br /> One option Ms. Halpine mentioned was selected drop off points for recyclables <br /> in spots such as shopping centers. Experience has shown that this results in <br /> about 4% of total waste recycled. When used in the past, this method has <br /> presented policing problems, and rodent problems. <br />. Fifty letters sent earlier to all the recycling companies and garbage hauling <br /> companies in the area resulted in one firm bid, from Super Cycle, and an <br /> indication of interest, from Waste Management. Super Cycle's bid was for <br />
