Public Comment <br /> Mayor Roe called for public comment by members of the audience on any non-agenda <br /> items. <br /> a. John Kysylyczyn,3083 Victoria Street <br /> Mr. Kysylyczyn spoke in response to public comments made at the June 8, 2015 City <br /> Council meeting related to organized trash collection. Mr. Kysylyczyn addressed the <br /> alleged misinformation provided as part of those comments; opining that it was unfor- <br /> tunate for a handful to resort to misinformation or a lack of accurate data in order to <br /> support their viewpoint. From his perspective Mr. Kysylyczyn reviewed previously <br /> attempted legislation and subsequent adoption of the current bipartisan legislation <br /> adopted allowing a process for local government to pursue organized trash collection <br /> being mindful of the interests of all parties. <br /> Mr. Kysylyczyn further addressed information provided by a citizen showing cost <br /> comparisons for the City of Maplewood, pointing out his understanding of the meth- <br /> odology of that survey and lack of scientific administration in those results, and there- <br /> fore not accurately supporting the comparison data. Mr. Kysylyczyn also noted in- <br /> formation provided by the statistically accurate survey and similar responses per- <br /> formed in the communities of Roseville, Shoreview and Fridley, administered by De- <br /> cision Resources, all showing that the public does not support organized trash collec- <br /> tion or not having a choice in selecting their trash haulers. <br /> Mr. Kysylyczyn cautioned the City Council, when information is brought forward to <br /> them, that they challenge those presenting the data to share all information accurately <br /> before the City Council comes to any conclusions on an issue. <br /> • <br /> 1 <br />
