Regular City Council Meeting Monday,January 06, 2014 Page 6 At the request of Mayor Roe, Interim City manager Trudgeon briefly reviewed this item, as amended, to exclude licensing of Brew Put Off-Sale Liquor License, with a Public Hearing action scheduled later in this meeting. Mr. Trudgeon fur- ther noted that Eureka Recycling was not included in the list of business license approvals for Recycling Hauler licenses, as they would be under separate contract with the City and therefore were not listed. Councilmember McGehee questioned if there was a way, as part of the license process, for the City to ensure waste from Roseville was being hauled to recourse recovery facilities versus ending up in landfills. Councilmember McGehee opined that many communities made that part of their specification. Councilmember McGehee further questioned the definition of "alternatives" and the "Blaine Transfer Facility;" listed by many haulers. Councilmember McGehee advised that her concern was to preclude any future liability for the City should a landfill later be determined to be a toxic site; and asked that this important issue be in- cluded as a future agenda item for further clarification and information gathering. Mayor Roe clarified that a transfer station was where garbage trucks dumped their material, and the transfer facility then transferred materials to other organizations. In his personal review of haulers, Mayor Roe advised that the designated reposito- ry was often listed as a transfer station on license applications, with no further designation. Mayor Roe further noted that, during early discussions for organized collection options, it had been noted the only way the City could designate a final destination for materials would be if it had an organized collection system. Interim City Manager Trudgeon advised that the item would be brought back on a future agenda for further discussion. McGehee moved, Etten seconded, approval of business license applications for the period of one (1) year, for the applicants as detailed in the RCA dated January 6, 2014; excluding a Brew Pub Off-Sale Intoxicating Liquor License for Granite City Restaurant Operations, Inc. Roll Call Ayes: Laliberte; McGehee; Willmus; Etten; and Roe. Nays: None. k. Authorize Seeking Donations for Various City Functions and Events At the request of Mayor Roe, Interim City manager Trudgeon briefly reviewed this item, in accordance with City Council policy and request for formal written request for donations to the City, as detailed in the RCA dated January 6, 2014. Councilmember McGehee noted how extensive the list was; and sought clarifica- tion for the number of solicitations and frequency of those solicitations; and asked for additional information.
