Over the past several months we have been hard at work <br />communicating with cities, chaznbers of commerce, community groups, business associations and others about why <br />public collection is bad policy. Understanding the counties' concem regarding the financial well-being of the Newport <br />facility, the waste haulers have guaranteecl waste voiume to ensure the Newport waste facility meets its financial <br />obligations. Regardless, the counties appear poised to move forward with their proposal. <br />There is little public support for changitig the waste hauling systcm. Recently, Vasko's Rubbish Removal, Walter's <br />Recycling and Refuse, Superior Services, BFI and Waste Management mailed letters and a reply card to their customers <br />in Washing#on and Ramsey Counties. Nearly 14,000 local households and businesses returned cards affirming their <br />opposition to governmet�t-managed/public collection. Of the eards returned, 2,537 were from households and businesses <br />in the city of Roseville. <br />We have also received resolutions opposing the counties' proposal from the following: <br />• Woodbury Chamber of Cobnmerce • Sai�t Paul Chamber of Commerce <br />• Forest Lake CReamber of Co�merce � Min�esota Cham�bet- of Comffierce <br />• Sain� �aul Bui�dang Owners �nd IViaaage�-s <br />Associa�io� (BOMA} <br />AII of the cards and resolutions ltave been submitted to the cnunties for inclusion as public comment opposed to public <br />collection. In addition, county commissioners have received bundreds of calls and letters fram consfitucnts opposed to <br />the propasal_ <br />It is anticipated that at an April 25, 2002 joint workshop commissioners &om hoth counties �vill deczde whether public <br />collection should t�e fiu-ther pursued. However, the specific logistics of this meeting are s#ill being worked oui. <br />Thank you fo e opportunity to s�aare this information witl� you. Please contact me with any questions a[ 763-780-f3A�b4. <br />Regards, <br />! ��� <br />�"`� <br />George Walter <br />Walter's Recycling and Refuse <br />
