Motion ca.ried unanimously. (4-0) BUSINESS FROM THE FLOOR Mike Albanefe - Kalda Corporation A brochure of an aluminum can recycling machine, which Mike Albanefe proposes to locate at Hauser's in Arden Plaza, was circulated among Council members; Albanefe described the machine to be 10' in height, 8' in width and 13' in length. Albanefe ssid he has tentative approval from the Super Value Mana- ger, subject to approval by Arden Plsza (C.G. Rein) and the City Council. Albanefe said the suggested location is at the southeast corner of the parking lot; explained that the machine will be emptied daily and cleaned bi-weekly. Albanefe said the maohine has an automatic shut-off if foreign material is placed in the machine; machine will take only aluminum cans, others will be rejected, and will pay operator for cans deposited @ 50%-60% of the going rate of aluminimum (18c/pound now - approximately 22 cans/pound). In diSCUSSion, some of the concerns were as follows: - noise - Albanefe said the machine only runs when it is operated. - debris - Albanefe said he can put a recepticle near the machine for the placement of bags, etc.; he will keep the area clean and dispose of debris and cans which are rejected by the machine. - chance of injury - Albanefe said he has insurance; feels there is no chance of getting hurt - cans are blown up into a chute; reported no one has ever gotten hurt; noted that instructions on how to operate the machine will be posted. - licen.ing - It was queried whether the machines are li- censed and whether scales are tested. (McNiesh was requested to check license requirements). Albanefe said the machines are licensed; is not aware of a weights and meaaures licenasi / Council deferred action until the August 8th Council Meeting.
