<br />. . <br /> <br />. Minutes of the Regular~cil Meeting, July 13, 1987 . <br />Page 5 <br /> <br />COMM. RPT. (Cont'd) Fifty letters sent earlier to all the recycling <br />companies and garbage hauling companies in the area <br />resulted in one firm bid, from Super Cycle, and an indication of interest, from <br />Waste Management. Malone advised that Super CYCle's bid was for $12,OOO ($3.50 <br />to $4.00 per household per year) for a monthly pickup service for recyclables. <br /> <br />. <br /> <br />Malone also advised that a recent Citizen's League report contends that Ramsey <br />County has discouraged more competition in the recycling business by requiring <br />all recyclables be taken to the center at 775 Rice St., owned and operated by <br />Super Cycle, which also operates the predominant collection system. Ms. Halpine <br />advised that any firms in the business are equally free to bring recyclables to <br />the Ramsey County center. <br /> <br />Malone summarized by stating that Council may consider setting rates, based on <br />volume; he pointed out that the Ramsey County fee of $2.24 will not be <br />collected if we begin the recycling process. He further advised that the <br />Committee will meet with refuse haulers in August for further discussion of <br />this matter. <br /> <br />Council thanked Paul Malone and the Committee members for their time and <br />efforts relative to this matter. <br /> <br />MISC. Council discussed the celebration of the 200th year <br />Centennial in conjunction with the Arden Hills Fall <br />Festival celebration. Mrs. Caryle was asked for comments or ideas from the <br />League of Women Voter's organization, and was advised of an upcoming meeting of <br />the Pall Festival Committee. <br /> <br />. <br /> <br />REPORT OF TREASURER <br /> <br />INVESTMENTS <br /> <br />Treasurer Lamb reported on the following investment: <br /> <br />7/8/87 - $450,000.00, at Pirst Minnesota, @ 6.60%, to mature 10/15/87. <br /> <br />Peck moved, seconded by Hansen, that Council ratify the <br />Treasurer's report. Motion carried unanimously. (4-0) <br /> <br />OTHER BUSINESS <br /> <br />ODOR COMPLAINT <br /> <br />Councilmember Sather referred to a letter from Dodie <br />Kostischack; complaining of the odor emission from <br />the Hide & Tallow Plant. <br /> <br />Mayor Woodburn reported that the Administrative Staff had been working on other <br />complaints received and the Inspector had found no violations. <br /> <br />After discussion, Council suggested inviting citizens with complaints to meet <br />with Mr. Pridgen, Odor Inspector, to discuss the inspection process or to <br />aCCompany him on'an actual inspection. <br /> <br />. <br /> <br />Councilmember Winiecki advised that she reports all complaints directly to Mr. <br />Roberg at the Minneapolis Hide & Tallow Plant, as well as the Pollution Control <br />Agency. <br /> <br />Council consensus was to direct city staff to invite Mr. Roberg, Mr. Fridgen <br />and citizens who are interested to attend a meeting to discuss this matter. <br />Clerk Administrator was instructed to contact Roberg and Pridgen to arrive at a <br />common date for such a meeting; the Council further suggested that the meeting <br />date be advertised in the Town Crier, New Brighton Bulletin and Cable T.V. <br /> <br />COUNTY ROAD E <br />REPAIRS <br /> <br />Councilmember Peck questioned when County Road E <br />repairs would be completed. <br /> <br />Public Works Supervisor advised that he does not recall the exact date, <br />possibly the end of July; he will check and report back to Council. <br /> <br />Councilmember Peck questioned if the Council would be <br />reviewing the Clerk Administrator's recommendations re: <br />Comparable Worth. <br /> <br />. Mayor Woodburn advised that the matter would be placed on the agenda at the <br />next Regular Council meeting in July. <br /> <br />COMPARABLE WORTH <br />
