However, if the City <br /> Council chose to adopt some form of organized collection, Mr. DeLaForest <br /> advised that his clients would prefer the consortium model for the reasons he <br /> previously stated. <br /> Kathy Klink, 535 Ryan Avenue <br /> As a Roseville resident, Ms. Klink expressed her ongoing interest in organized <br /> trash collection and her curiosity in the process if it moved forward. Ms. Klink <br /> expressed her appreciation for a best value process similar to that used for <br /> recycling, and her interest in the values of residents for a clean environment being <br /> reflected in whatever option the City chose. Ms. Kline advised that she felt very <br /> strongly about environmental issues; and from her personal perspective the ability <br /> to support small, locally-owned businesses. Recognizing that the consortium <br /> model had been operating for trash collection in the City of Minneapolis for some <br /> time, Ms. Klink stated that she had her own personal concerns with the City <br /> moving to a single hauler, which by necessity would squeeze out local, family- <br /> owned businesses competing in the market. <br /> At the request of Vice Chair Stenlund for clarification, Ms. Klink expressed <br /> appreciation for the community values included in the Imagine Roseville 2025 <br /> and other resident values guiding any deliberations. <br /> In agreement with Vice Chair Stenlund, Ms. Klink noted those reasonable values <br /> involving cost, environment, re-use, where produced ended up, safety, and quality <br /> of life; all brought up repeatedly by residents. <br /> For disclosure purposes, Ms. Klink advised that she was a former member on the <br /> Board of Directors at Eureka Recycling, having recently resigned; and currently <br /> worked with Hennepin County as a Master Recycling Composter; and a faculty <br /> member and science researcher at the University of MN. <br /> 9.
