anticipated it would not be binding on either side under this scenario and as it was initially a pilot program for an interested neighborhood and their hauler of choice to pursue. Member Cihacek suggested negotiations would be done as a group, and therefore spoke in support of removing that language. Member Seigler suggested posting it on the City's website after deleting that specific language. Member Wozniak opined that the point of tonight's discussion was to offer ways to make the process as easy as possible for residents, and that included non-inflammatory language as he had previously offered his preferences and concerns. However, Member Wozniak opined that, if residents actually knew and were concerned with where their garbage ended up, it may negate many of the items addressed in the draft guide. Chair Stenlund noted the need to ensure that residents and haulers are clearly aware that the Ciry is not involved in any way at all; and opined that he thought the interest may be found to be only about choice, and no� cost. Chair Stenlund opined that this included not having the City of Roseville tell them which hauler to use. Chair Stenlund aslced staff to verify the actual number of licensed haulers in Roseville, opining that it was actually eight haulers. Chair Stenlund spoke in support of the survey idea and language. Chair Stenlund stated that he found the number of pages in the draft guide to be a reasonable number, but opined there may be a lack of clarity on how to change haulers, since it may not be easy depending on the iine print in current individual residential contracts. As an example, Chair Stenlund questioned why he continued to be charged a fuel surcharge; and questioned if changing haulers could be done with a simple phone call, and how long the transfer process may take from one hauler to another. Member Lenz noted a past experience in her neighborhood when their road was reconstructed and the neighborhood got together to choose mailboxes for a coordinated look, which didn't work out well. Member Seigler opined this may prove a good option for a cul-de-sac, since this would create the need for only one versus many trucks. Member Heimerl, having not realistically understood or agreed with the potential benefits, expressed his appreciation that they were now removed. Member Heimerl opined that anything posted as a guide should be as generic as possible, and if proven successful in other communities, word would spread. Member Heimerl noted that the City was proposing to post something that may be an untried procedure and in the end, they may not be able to organize their neighbors, and therefore anything posted by the City needed to remain generic. Member Heimerl suggested the initial language should include wording that this is something other communities have used, and residents are welcome to try it, but the City was not promoting or endorsing one way or the other.
