Then there is the issue of how much space this equipment takes up in our c?.ty buy ld~ ngs . As I see ~ t, Space ~s money. `?'his ' s especrally true because Rose~,ri lle does pay to store things off city property. If space on city property vas freed up, trae ~~7ould realise lo~rer rental casts because :~~e ~~aouldn't have to store as much stuff off oro~ertF>>. Then there is the lawsuit issues concerning compost sites and the health of residents that live nearby. That's another long issue. I am available to answer any questions on this issue.

I have lived in Roseville for 10 years, and we have gratefully used the program each of those 10 years. We have a large corner lot with many trees, some of them Oak trees, which hold their leaves until spring. We don't own a truck or a trailer, so we appreciate the leaf pick up program. i cannot imagine bagging alI of the leaves we have. Not only the cost of the bags to have my garbage hauler take them away, but the multiple weeks I would be storing them along side the garage and putting them out at curbside, because the hauler will only will take 7 bags of yard waste at one time. Then there is the springtime to consider. Currently, we rake a pile in to a tarp and load it into the true}.:. of the car, and go down to the Dale St site and drop them off. 'Then we go back and repeat this time consuming process until we are done. If we r~o longer had access to the site, wa 4-could again be buying bags, and storing them along side our garage until my garbage hauler started up the yard waste program for the year, usually around Apri_1 15th. I truly wish you would consider and keeping the Leaf pick-up program and the compost site. Thank you for your time. Linda Hemp 3
