ARDEN HILLS CITY COUNCIL WORK SESSION MAY 189 2009 11 Community Development Director Lehnhoff agreed and stated that he would like to see this resolved amicably for all parties involved. Mayor Harpstead suggested staff proceed with the negotiations, setting a $50 per ton processing fee and that this be in place until the three month average for paper costs per ton on the revenue side exceeds the $75 fee; at which time, the original contract will go into effect. Community Development Director Lehnhoff indicated this was similar to the City of Roseville's contract language. Councilmember Grant suggested the fees be adjusted, with the City taking the shortfall this year and have it be corrected for 20 10. It was the consensus of the City Council to direct staff to negotiate the recycling contract further with Eureka Recycling addressing the processing fees. E. Draft Rental Registration Ordinance Community Development Director Lehnhoff presented the City Council with a draft rental registration ordinance. He indicated this started out of a discussion the Council had last October in a work session meeting for a community enhancement program. Community Development Director Lehnhoff stated the primary reason this proceeded was to track and rental properties within the City, provide educational information to the renters on the City's expectations and to maintain current contact information. Community Development Director Lehnhoff indicated that this ordinance does not include inspections at this time. He explained that there are currently 220 single family non-homesteaded properties, with an additional 60-70 homes relative homestead. We estimate about 250 — 300 rental properties. Community Development Director Lehnhoff stated the preliminary registration fee would be $35 to cover the fees within the program. He further reviewed the Ordinance with the Council and stated it would be ready for the Council to approve at their June 8th meeting.
