DRAFT Regular City Council Meeting <br />Monday, June 17, 2013 <br />Page 19 <br />1 <br />Mayor Roe, recognizing the adopted legislation included a first step to see if haul - <br />2 <br />ers could come up with a plan on their own, suggested that was a great idea and <br />3 <br />provided an interesting approach if the City didn't end up dictating to haulers, <br />4 <br />while still requiring that they met a level of acceptability for the City. Mayor Roe <br />5 <br />advised that, based on his concerns about choice of service, choice of carts, etc.; <br />6 <br />this process held more appeal for him than the previous approach that didn't ap- <br />7 <br />peal to him at all based on a much different process and less creativity for haulers. <br />8 <br />Mayor Roe advised the revised legislation had swayed him a little more toward <br />9 <br />organized collection; however, he would want to retain the ability for residents to <br />10 <br />have some choice, and where the garbage ended up. Mayor Roe opined that he <br />11 <br />was not swayed by arguments related to safety or wear and tear on streets, based <br />12 <br />on the current truck traffic in Roseville; with the onus on the City to do a better <br />13 <br />job enforcing safety concerns. <br />14 <br />15 <br />Councilmember McGehee opined that it would be helpful for the City Council to <br />16 <br />give the PWETC better direction for a plan if their research included other com- <br />17 <br />munities, such as White Bear Lake, Maplewood, and No. St. Paul who had taken <br />18 <br />on this issue over a year ago. Councilmember McGehee agreed with Member Fe- <br />19 <br />lice on the ability to draft contract language with the City taking on the cost role <br />20 <br />as a good place to start, along with community values components. Councilmem- <br />21 <br />her McGehee addressed her other concerns related to health from diesel trucks, <br />22 <br />noise issues, safety issues, and garbage haulers having a specified areas. Coun- <br />23 <br />cilmember McGehee suggested that the PWEC talk to haulers and come up with <br />24 <br />ideas to administer an organized collection program and still provide safeguards <br />25 <br />for residents at no extra charge. Councilmember McGehee expressed her interest <br />26 <br />in hearing a report on the proposal from garbage haulers as well as their sugges- <br />27 <br />tions. <br />28 <br />29 <br />Councilmember Willmus advised that he owned properties in communities with <br />30 <br />organized collection, and opined that it was nice. However, Councilmember <br />31 <br />Willmus questioned if it was the best fit for Roseville. Councilmember Willmus <br />32 <br />noted that the term "community values" was thrown around a lot; and suggested if <br />33 <br />that was going to be continued, those values needed to be accurate, and opined <br />34 <br />that the only way to do that was to ask the community what they wanted. Coun- <br />35 <br />cilmember Willmus noted that community values had been sought for the park <br />36 <br />improvement process that helped him make his initial decisions, and suggested <br />37 <br />that was a good place to start. <br />38 <br />39 <br />Mayor Roe, in responding to the PWETC, suggested that the first step was to hold <br />40 <br />community meetings, using the Parks & Recreation meetings as a model; concur- <br />41 <br />ring that it was an excellent idea to provide good insight. Mayor Roe advised that <br />42 <br />the City Council would formally receive the PWETC resolution at an upcoming <br />43 <br />meeting; and provide written direction to the PWETC on their recommendations; <br />44 <br />at which time it could be seen how the process moves forward. <br />
