ARDEN HILLS CITY COUNCIL WORK SESSION – DECEMBER 9, 2024 11 <br /> <br />Councilmember Holden asked if it would be less if they did the curbside pickup. She is trying to <br />figure out what pieces go with what. If they drive around and pick up, we wouldn’t be charged all <br />of the fees outlined. <br /> <br />Mike Person confirmed. He said it would depend on what type of event. If the City chose to do a <br />curbside bulky waste pick up, it would be the $95.00/hour. <br /> <br />Councilmember Holden wanted confirmation that it would be $95.00/hour and they would drive <br />around, pick it up and we’re done. <br /> <br />Mike Person said there would be a fee associated with the individual items they collected. <br /> <br />Councilmember Holden asked if the City or the homeowner would be charged. <br /> <br />Mike Person said they have done it both ways. It will depend on how the contract is laid out. <br />They can collect the bulk payments from the individual. They do have the option to bill the City if <br />that is the preference. <br /> <br />Mayor Grant asked about Walters’ bulky waste contract with Blaine. He said the residents in <br />Blaine are allowed six items per year. <br /> <br />Mike Person confirmed. <br /> <br />Mayor Grant asked if that was included in the Contract. <br /> <br />Mike Person confirmed. He said that was included in the Contract. <br /> <br />Mayor Grant asked for confirmation that they are proposing something entirely different for <br />Arden Hills. <br /> <br />Mike Person said they are moving to one item. Residents can also drop items off at the transfer <br />station in Blaine. More residents participate in that option. <br /> <br />Councilmember Holden said you can go to the Ramsey County site and get rid of refrigerators, <br />air conditioners for $10. <br /> <br />Mayor Grant thought that was a tech dump. He doesn’t think you can bring a mattress there. <br /> <br />Councilmember Holden thinks you can. She is trying to determine what it would cost to host a <br />clean up event. We will need to budget for that. <br /> <br />Mike Person could bring back some more exact figures, if that is the type of event the City is <br />interested in. He can break it down from a budgetary standpoint to host one or two events a year. <br /> <br />Councilmember Holden said if it were a curbside event we wouldn’t know what the charge is <br />because the City would have to bill the resident. <br />
