.. Minutes of Regular Public Safety/Works Committ€e Meeting, July 16 . Page 3 cities pay "tipping charges" at the waste facility, (utilizing organized hauling and paying the haulers directly), thus partially funding their recycling program through decreased tipping fees, (if more materials are recycled, tipping fees will be lower). It was ~oted that this system did not provide incentive to the individual household in lower bills, however. Request for Additional Identification SiRns, Red Fox and Grey Fox Roads and SnellinR Avenue (HiRhway 51) A representative from Allstate Insurance called, asking for additional, larger signage identifying Red Fox and Grey Fox Roads for drivers on Snelling Avenue going north; noted that persons visiting their building often miss the turn off from Snelling. They suggested a sign on Snelling, either near the overpass or 1/4 mile before the intersection. Upon checking the situation, Raddatz discovered that there we~e no street signs at all posted at the intersection. Raddatz suggested he replace the missing signs, and that Allstate then monitor the situation to see if this corrects the problem. Committee concurred with this, and additionally suggested: Raddatz, or Allstate, check with the State Highway Department, asking their policy on additional signage; is it a State decision or Arden Hills, and if signs are approved, a State or City expense? Zehm stated, and Committee concurred, that any signage other than normal street traffic signs, should be recommended and reviewed by the Planning . Commission.

The new equipment will be installed outside of the stations, with a telephone wire running into the lift stations to record flowage, eliminating any need to enter the stations. Committee asked if the inaccuracies had been mostly in Arden Hills' favor, or MWCC. Raddatz felt probably in ours; more accurate recordings will probably cost some money. " Miscellaneous/New Business Raddatz stated that the Arden Hills' construction of the new interceptor will be completed within one to two months. MWCC estimates their portion to be completed about Christmas time. At that time, 010 Lift Station will be dismantled. Committee asked Raddatz' intention in doing this...he stated the parts could probably be given to a VoTech or Waste Water School for instructional purposes; the building will need to be razed. Funds will be set aside in the 1988 budget to accomplish this. WaterinR Ban was successful in lowering water consumption sufficiently so the pumps could keep up. It will be continued indefinitely to assure adequate water levels to cover emergency situations until the new water tower is . operational. New water tower construction has been completed; painting will begin within a week. It will be painted "teardrop blue"; painter feels it will be a very difficult job to do the outside with cars and building so close to the tower.
