133 overtime would be saved as there would no longer be a need for staff to come in on 134 the weekends during the spring and fall when the vehicle gates are open. 135 136 Future savings on tree disposal cost – Beginning in 2024, Ramsey County no longer 137 allow cities to dispose of wood debris at their yard waste sites. The main reason for 138 this is the cost for disposing the debris has gone up. City Public Works staff and 139 Parks staff now only have two options to dispose of the debris: chip on site or haul to 140 a site and pay a tipping fee. Chipping works for some small projects but it takes more 141 time. For larger projects or for debris that is too large to be chipped, it must be 142 disposed of at a commercial site for a fee. Preliminary talks with the City’s tree vendor 143 indicate we could see a saving of 20% by having our own site to store material. If the 144 leaf site was closed, one of the proposed uses for the property would be for City wood 145 debris management. The site would be a place to store wood debris. It could then be 146 chipped when time was available, or the City could rent a larger tub grinder every few 147 years for the larger debris. This would result in significant time savings long term due 148 to less tipping fees and costs related to hauling debris to facilities outside of Roseville. 149 150 Reduction in costs from elimination of CIP items and out-of-pocket costs related to 151 the leaf site should provide overall cost savings to the storm water budget which may 152 lead to a reduction of storm water rates or at least lessen future rate increases. 153 154 Reasons to Keep Open: 155 156 For 76% of Roseville residential properties, the Roseville site is closer than a Ramsey 157 County site, 13% are closer to Ramsey County’s Arden Hills site, and the remaining 11% 158 are closer to Ramsey County’s Midway site (Attachment 2). On average, residential 159 properties in Roseville are now 1.33 miles from their nearest site, county or City-owned. If 160 the Roseville site was closed, the closest Ramsey County site would, on average, be 2.79 161 miles away (Arden Hills, Midway, and Frank & Sims sites). 162 163 164 165 166 Roseville residents can get compost delivered by the City for a fee. If the leaf site is closed, 167 the City will no longer offer this service. On average, the City makes 65 deliveries per year Page 4 of 7 Qbhf!6:!pg!322
