Regular City Council Meeting <br /> Monday,November 18, 2013 <br /> Page 16 <br /> ter with the private hauler system. Opining that the garbage system in Roseville <br /> didn't appear to be broken, Mr. Anderson therefore questioned why attempts were <br /> being made to fix it. <br /> Floyd Olson,447 Transit Avenue <br /> Mr. Olson expressed his opposition to organized collection;but commented on his <br /> observations on his dead end street of the same truck and hauler going up and <br /> down the street as many as 6 times. Mr. Olson questioned whether there was any <br /> consideration given to limiting the number of companies to a reasonable number. <br /> Mr. Olson noted that the City's website lists 10 licensed companies; with one oth- <br /> er company, to his knowledge, making calls in neighborhoods to solicit business, <br /> but not yet licensed. <br /> George Walters, Owner of Walters Recycling and Refuse <br /> Mr. Walters recognized the many favorable comments from residents tonight, <br /> thanking them for the free publicity. Mr. Walters stated that he wanted to go on <br /> record that he was also opposed to any kind of organized collection. Mr. Walters <br /> noted that he had built his business in this community house-by-house and had <br /> worked hard to accumulate customers, most of whom were happy with their ser- <br /> vice. Mr. Walters stated that their firm wanted to continue to grow in Roseville, <br /> and if the City moved toward an organized collection system, they would not have <br /> an opportunity to do so; opining that it would not prove a good idea for his busi- <br /> ness. <br /> Linda Deleo—280 Minnesota Avenue <br /> Specific to truck traffic on streets, Ms. Deleo referred to the number of construc- <br /> tion-related trucks on Minnesota Avenue over the last 1.5 years due to the Rice <br /> Street interchange construction. Ms. Delao opined that the only result from that <br /> increased truck traffic had been multiple patching of the street; with no other reso- <br /> lution of the issues created from that construction traffic and contractors. <br /> Having worked as a Purchasing Agent for two different engineering companies, <br /> one in Chicago and one in Roseville, Ms. Deleo opined that she was fully aware <br /> of the room for corruption when competition was eliminated. With such a great <br /> possibility of that happening, Ms. Deleo stated that she would hate to see that <br /> happen here. Based on her observations when at home on garbage day, Ms. <br /> Deleo referenced the differences in the garbage haulers with open tops allowing <br /> garbage to fly all over the neighborhood, those consistently driving too fast, and <br /> multiple and unnecessary trips. Ms. Deleo spoke in support of choosing and <br /> keeping her own carrier; the one who stops when seeing neighbors trying to pick <br /> up a dead animal and taking care of it for them; or taking extra garbage just be- <br /> cause you're a good customer. Having lived in Roseville since 1988, Ms. Deleo <br /> advised that she had only changed carriers once. Ms. Deleo opined that this carri- <br /> er provided every service she wanted as a customer; and she was willing to pay <br />
