. ARDEN HILLS CITY COUNCIL - JANUARY 26.1998 8 Mr. Kevin Ringwald, Community Development Director, suggested a survey be sent out inquiring about the potential impact. Councilmember Malone suggested this issue be referred to the Public Safety Commission for their recommendation. He stated he views this issue skeptically since it may adversely impact a small hauler. He stated he is not sure there is a groundswell of support for limiting hauling days and cautioned the Council to proceed carefully. Councilmember Malone agreed with the suggestion by Councilmember Hicks to notify the haulers ofthis issue and stated the City will have to be sure they do not violate anti-trust laws. Council member Aplikowski agreed with the need to proceed carefully. Councilmember Keirn supported studying the issue, but emphasized the City needs to keep everyone's interest in mind. MOTION: Councilmember Malone moved and Councilmember Keirn seconded a motion to approve the rubbish hauler licenses, as submitted, and direct staff to follow through with applicants who have not paid their 1998 license fees and to further direct staffto research and report on the option of restricted day hauling prior to the end ofJune, 1998.
