Closing of Compost Site & Discontinuation of Leaf Pick -Up <br />Driscoll, Margaret <br />From: DAvl- MoSEL @VBA.va.gov <br />Seat: Thursday, August 14, 2003 9:04 AM <br />To: city. councik ci.roseviIIe.mn.us <br />Subject: Closing of Compost Site & Discontinuation of Leaf Pick -Up <br />August 14, 2003 <br />Page I of 1 <br />As for closing the compose site ... it's beyond comprehension. This brings up several questions, such as: <br />- Where does the council intend or Roseville residents to take their leaves? <br />- Has anyone considered the costs to Roseville residents for transporting the leaves to another site....gas, time <br />etc., let alone the cost of <br />blo- degradable bags. If we have to pay our local garbage hauler to tale the leaves, have to use the bio- <br />degradable bags, and they <br />are definitely not cheap. <br />- How about the leaves that will be left on lawns, illegally dumped In our parrs out of frustration, and left where <br />they fell in our streets only to clog the drains? Most of the drains on my street have been covered with <br />leaves, grass and sand all summer (since our heavy spring rains). I have kept the one in front of my <br />house clear, but most others are clogged. If there will be no place to take the leaves, and no picky -up, the current <br />problem will only be compounded. <br />- How about the city workers who worked at the compost sited VVill they be out of jobs, or will they just h acre less <br />work to do? <br />- How will the Dale Street site be used ... let me guess...someone think it needs to be "developed", using tax <br />increment financing, right? <br />Linda Moseley <br />280 Minnesota Avenue <br />Roseville, MN 55113 <br />I j r n os el ey@ h o tmai I. com <br />8/14/2003 <br />
