Occasionally, large equipment is temporarily stored there. <br />The compost material and wood chips are used in the city and park system. The four-acre <br />site is an asset to the city and its residents, providing a much needed storage and composting <br />area. <br />Our property, especially the trees, appreciate the leaf pickup and do not care if there is a <br />charge or if the service is free. Our leaves need this service. I use the compost to build new <br />gardens and replenish existing ones. <br />Without the leaf pickup and compost site, a lot of residents are going to have additional <br />costs for disposal of leaves and the purchase of compost or black dirt. The city will also incur <br />these same costs. <br />The city should not buy the $70,000 piece of equipment for cutting leaves. Also, I do not <br />feel the landscaping for the front entrance is necessary. <br />Keep the compost site operational and continue to pickup the leaves in the fall. <br />Please find a way to compromise and keep the costs as low as possible. <br />Thank you, <br />A Roseville homeowner for 28 years. <br />8/18/2003 <br />
