(0-8 Illegal Dumping and Storage Despite the potential for people to not want to pay to dispose of appliances and furniture (one resident in the survey said items are piling up in the house because he or she refuses to pay to dispose of the items), illegal dumping of trash on City property does not appear to be a problem in Roseville. According to Streets Supervisor Steve Zweber and Park Maintenance Supervisor Ken Hoxmeier City crcws deal with 6-12 cases of illegal dumping (including brush, furniture, tires and appliances) on City property each year. That number has stayed about the same over that past decade. However Permits Coordinator Don Munson and Code Enforcement Officer Rick Talbot say illegal storage of appliances and other items on personal property is a significant problem. From 1998 to 200 I Roseville staff investigated an average of 60 complaints a year of illegal storing of brush and debris. That's more than for any other category except for tall weeds. Most are re- solved after a code enforcement officer contacts the homeowner and alerts them to the violation and asks them to comply with City code. Options Considered: I) Meet the City's stated environmental goals by offering a Citywide clean up day run by a company or companies in which residents will be charged for disposal and Roseville subsidizes 1/3 of the disposal cost at an annual expense of approximately $11,000. 2) Meet the above stated environmental goals by offering two Citywide clean up days (spring and fall) and incur the expense of approximately $22,000 annually. 3) Meet goal two stated above by allowing residents to continue using private sector means of disposal. Meet goal three by beginning campaign to alert residents to proper means for disposing of other items. 4) Meet the above stated goals by offering a Citywide clean up day run by City crews at an estimated cost of approximately $9,000. 5) Meet the above stated goals by offering a curbside collection program for appliances and furniture. 6) Meet the above stated goals by beginning a program of neighborhood rolloffs for free disposal of appliances and other similar debris. 7) Urge Ramsey County to investigate subsidizing the Free Market website. 8) Expand and enhance education campaigns with Ramsey County to alert residents to disposal options for problem materials. 9) Add as a requirement for licensing that haulers annually give customers, and file with the City, a clear delineation of rates and services. 10) Explore partnerships with neighboring communities for jointly holding a clean up day. Recommendations: Offer a Citywide clean up day run by a company or companies in which residents will be charged for disposal and Roseville subsidizes 1/3 of the disposal cost at an annual expense ofapproximate1y $11,000. 26 I I I I I I I I I I I I I ~ j
