<br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> Minutes of Public Safety/Works Coamittee Meeting. January 15, 1987 <br /> Page 4 <br /> Recycling <br /> Malone reported that after studying Ramsey County's Solid Waste Disposal Flans, <br /> it seems obvious that the cities will be forced to adopt some sort of recycling <br /> program; the County is asking for State legislation so that they can force them <br /> to do so. County's aim is to reduce the amount of waste going to the treatment <br /> plants by 16% by 1991. It seems necessary to establish a subcommittee to <br /> explore what the Yillage must do to comply with Courtty regulations, should they <br /> be imposed, and to explore hsving garbage coliectors bid for areas of the <br /> village. It was suggested the subcommittee research what other communities <br /> have done or are doing, talk to the various garbage collectors, and then devise <br /> a plan. <br /> Concerns were expressed about (1) whether there are places available to dispose <br /> of items that are recycled, (2) vhether the garbage collectors will be willing <br /> to coaperate, (3) whether costs to the residents will increase, or decrease (as <br /> the County contends). <br /> Committee concurred to invite Dave Locey, of MSD Recycle, to the February <br /> meeting to discuss the subject. <br /> Adjournment <br /> It was moved by Steglich, seconded by Timm, that the meeting adjourn at 9:45 <br /> p.m. Motion carried unanimously. <br /> <br /> Submitted by Shirley Marshall. <br /> <br /> <br /> TEIE NEXT REGULAR MEETING OF THE PUBLIC SAFETY/WORKS COIYIIMITTEE WILL BE SELD <br /> FEBRUARY 19, 1987, 7:30 P.M., YILLAGE HALL. <br />
