Home

BACRGROIIND �n January 22, 1990, Thor Bank appeaxed hefore the Roseville City Council, urging them to become informed and participate in waste abatement and waste management activities on behalf of Roseville residents. He also suggested that the City Council appoint a standing co�- • mittee of Roseville xesidents to review and report to the Council on residentiai yard waste alternatives first, and to ultimately determine the best alternatives for refuse collection, recycling, and the handling of household hazardous wastes and househald special wastes. In response to Mr. Bank's request, the City Council voted ta es- tablish a Residential Waste Management Citizen Advisory Cammittee, and to seek interested residents as volunteers for the Committee. Members of the Citizen's Committee are: Thor Bank, Chairman Irene Bussjaeger Gerald Drewlo Michael Faschingbauer Thornton Gable George Harrison Rick Jacobs Ron Kixk David Norrgard Douglas Pooley Robert Raymond Bruce Schaepe Barbara Wharton Steve Zeece At the onset of ineetings, the Committee met almost on a weekly basis to produce two timely informational supplements to the Roseville Newsletter. The first publication was distributed at the Master Gardener's Program on Aprii 3�, in the Roseville City Hall. The second publicatian was a two page supplement to the June, 1990 issue of the Roseville Newsletter. The Newsletter is mailed to all Roseville residents. Since then the Committee met bimonthly to produce this report. The Citizen's Committee wishes to express its appreciation to all those who participated in making this report possible, and espe- cially those on the RosevilZe Administration staff, in particular Mardy Olesen, Kathleen Miller, and Steve North, for their extra efforts.
