�� � REQUEST FOR COUNCIL ACTION Department Approval ._ �� --- G �---- Item Description: Neighborhood Organized Trash Collection Guide BACKGROUND Date:September 14, 2015 Item No.: 8.d City Manager Approval � At the Apri120, 2015, City Council meeting, the City Council voted to direct staff to bring forth "a residential self-trash organization kit/process for review and potential adoption." City staff assembled some other such "kits" from other communities such as Chanhassen, Chaska and Victoria, and presented a proposed Neighborhood Organized Trash Collection Guide to the Public Works, Environment and Transportation Commission (PWETC) at their May 23, 2015, meeting. The intent of this guide is to provide a lcit for persons interested in organizing their neighborhood, block, cul-de-sac, etc. to use one garbage hauler. The guide provides some sample surveys for both the residents in the area as well as the licensed garbage haulers in the City of Roseville. The guide makes it clear that the City will have no role in organizing the neighborhood, nor will it have any ability to enforce any sort of arrangement between the neighborhood and the selected garbage hauler. The PWET Commision reviewed and discussed the proposed guide (excepts from the meeting minutes are attached in Attachment B) and voted to present a revised version to the City Council at the June 22, 2015 City Council meeting, which was also the joint meeting for the PWET Commission at the City Council. At the June 22 meeting, the City Council had a short discussion of the proposed guide and asked that the guide be brought back to the City Council at a later date. Excerpts from the City Council meeting minutes are also included in Attachment B. The Neighborhood Organized Trash Collection Guide is attached (Attachment A) with some very , minor edits since last presented to the City Council in June. If the City Council is satisfied with the proposed Neighborhood Organized Trash Collection Guide, the next step would be to post this on the City website and possibly promote the guide with a future newsletter article. FINANCIAL IMPACTS There is no financial impact to the City of Roseville. The guide will be posted on the City website and will be available at no charge to anyone interested in downloading the guide. STAFF RECOMMENDATION Staff recommends that the City Council adopt the Neighborhood Organized Trash Collection Guide and direct staff to post the document on the City website. Page 1 of 2
