Regular City Council Meeting Monday, May 24, 2010 Page 12 inviting and homey. Mr. Anderson noted other such amenities throughout Rose- ville, currently being maintained. Mr. Anderson addressed concerns with deer and other varmints who were around in the cemetery already; and suggested that raccoons were interested in the food in dumpsters west of restaurants, not com- post. Mr. Anderson used the City's compost site as an example of the lack of smell evidenced; and offered to extend the flower screen along the gardens. Lois Nyman, 1720 Chatsworth (immediately north of NCPS) Ms. Nyman's written comments were provided as a bench handout.
