Roseville PWET Commission Meeting Minutes <br />Page 7 -November 24, 2009 <br />fine-tuning, for consideration of acity-managed trash collection with specific <br />geographic areas zoned throughout the City allowing current haulers to retain <br />their same number of customers, but for the purpose of minimizing vehicles on <br />the road for traffic, noise and street maintenance considerations. Chair <br />DeBenedet noted that this would apply only to residential customers. <br />Discussion included the process in developing and organizing a proposed system <br />prior to receiving input from haulers and the public; suggestions fora " 20%" <br />plan; determining a revenue stream, whether through the City as a fiscal agent or <br />direct billing by haulers to residents; how to handle those not participating (i.e., <br />those not using any trash hauler); available statistics from the City's Recycling <br />Coordinator Tim Pratt; onus on haulers to provide a counter study to the flawed <br />assumptions of their perceptions of the MPCA study; and review of the Fort <br />Collins study provided in the September agenda packet as a model. <br />Mr. Schwartz advised that he would consult wit <br />potential questions and responses, various issues <br />Manager Malinen on the process and how it m; <br />consulting with those other metropolitan comet <br />implementation since 1991, with none of them m <br />due to hauler opposition, and other rationale tl <br />organized collection, as well as where those proc <br />cities; and how the City of Roseville can shape a <br />Mr. Schwartz advised that he would bring that <br />Commission meeting. <br />Mr. Pratt for his suggestions, <br />consider; and also with City <br />potentially work; as well as <br />cities having considered such <br />ring toward organized hauling <br />y considered in not pursuing <br />ss .are currently in those other <br />ro~ram to be more successful. <br />tformation to the next PWET <br />Commissioner Stenlund opined that this is not about saving as much as it is about <br />the City's ability. to fully-maintain their roads, given the limited funds available <br />for investment. <br />Further discussion included wear and tear of residential roads from truck traffic <br />versus normal freeze/thaw and any data that would be applicable, but limited <br />availability of that information due to street designs based on traffic levels (low <br />versus high volumes}; and whether cost differentials could be outlined based on <br />low versus high traffic volume and reconstruction costs. <br />Bob Willmus <br />Mr. Willmus, speaking as an individual citizen, commended the PWET <br />Commission for looking at this option, opining that the number of garbage trucks <br />on city streets on a daily basis was excessive. Mr. Willmus, however, opined that <br />if considering a change, the PWET Commission not consider a zone system, but <br />go to asingle-provider systetn. Mr. Willmus reviewed his rationale for this <br />request, opining that having 9,000 homes provided a much better bidding position <br />than just a specific area, and would prove more saleable to the general public in <br />having acity-wide bid process rather than defining zones. Mr. Willmus further <br />opined that, if there was a resident experienced a problem with their specific <br />
