In this letter, we have provided an explanation for how we <br />plan to accomplish each of the objectives of the City. Attached to this letter is a draft <br />Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) which formalizes these objectives. <br /> <br />. <br /> <br />The following is a list of items which the Haulers feel can be successfully accomplished. <br />These would be beneficial to the residents of Arden Hills and assist in reducing wear on <br />the City's streets. It should be emphasized that the Haulers are eager to work with the <br />City's staff, including the City Engineer, so that the removal of refuse from Arden Hills is <br />done in a way that meets customer needs and preserves the streets. <br /> <br />The following are measures which the Haulers are prepared to take: <br /> <br />. Structure routes so that lighter-loaded trucks travel on the streets with the <br />poorer construction. <br /> <br />Having seen the map provided by City staff of the condition of the streets in <br />Arden Hills, the Haulers are now in the process of replanning their routes so <br />as to achieve this goal. They are eager to continue discussions with the City <br />Engineer so that their trucks are the lightest when they pick up trash on the <br />streets with the poorest construction. Changes in the routing system will be <br />achieved through each company's individual efforts, thereby protecting the <br />City's streets to the greatest extent possible. <br /> <br />. <br /> <br />. Haulers will begin their routes in Arden Hills with as small a volume of <br />waste in their trucks as is practicable. <br /> <br />Since Haulers have routing systems which include numerous communrties, it <br />is impossible to come into every community with empty trucks. As a result, <br />Haulers will make their best efforts to ensure that their trucks will have as <br />small a volume of waste within them when they begin their routes within the <br />
