Phone Number: Dear Elected City Representatives, Please Share Your Comment, Question or I serve on the Public Works, Environment & Transportation Concern Commission and was shocked to see The Roseville Reader article about the proposal to close the leaf recycling center. This was NEVER brought to our Commission which leaves me wondering WHY we have these Commissions in the first place. It appears that if Staff is concerned they won't receive favorable feedback from the Commissions, they bring topics straight to the Council for a quick vote. Additionally, it's my understanding that Council never questioned if the PWET Commission had any engagement on this topic, which I find disheartening. I don't disagree that some of Staff's reasoning has merit, but it should be open to discussion and community input FIRST. I do appreciate that Council tabled it for a couple weeks to allow for comment, but the respectable thing to do would have been to bring it the Commission first. This closure would impact a TON of residents who value this offering. Illegal dumping, people outside of Roseville using it, and contractors using it are all legitimate concerns. I recognize that staffing the site would be costly; however, could we consider using technology to assist here?? As far as complaints from the nearby senior housing complex, what did this developer think building near a swamp and next to a compost site would be like?? Did none of these residents look at their surroundings before they decided to move in?? This site has been in operation for decades, and it's silly to weigh these complaints over the value it provides for many, many residents. I Qbhf!215!pg!:15
