From: NANCY BENTHELD [NBENTFlI@FAlRVIEW.0RGI <br />Sent: Wednesday, August 1 , 2003 3:24 PIVI <br />To: city.councII I.roseville.min.us <br />Subject: curbside Leaf Collection <br />As a resident of the City of Roseville for many years, I was very disappointed to read <br />that the Council is considering ending the curbside leaf collection program and /or closing <br />the compost site. our taxes and payment for this service should provide enough revenue for <br />it to continue. The participation level of both the leaf collection and compost site <br />should justify its continuation. My residence has over a dozen trees on the property, <br />several of which are on the boulevard within the cities' easement. As a result, the <br />collection and appropriate disposal of the leaves should not be left to the sole <br />responsibility of the homeowner. <br />Other reasons to continue leaf pick up: <br />* My elderly neighbors would have a difficult time removing leaves if not for the curbside <br />collection. <br />* Several years ago the City pushed for a "Beautification Plan" that encouraged the <br />planting of trees along the streets to replace the lost Elm trees. These are now part of <br />oseville's responsibility. <br />* The lack of proper disposal would result in are unacceptable amount of leaves in the <br />curbs and gutters contributing to increased phosphorus levels in our lakes and waterways <br />* Lack of leaf pick --up could lead to unsightly yards. <br />Tease reconsider- this decision. <br />Yours truly, <br />Nancy A.
