Study Session Minutes -3- October 22, 2007
Mr. Hoffman and Council discussed the exterior maintenance of City Hall and the unfunded
projects. Councilmember Sanger inquired about sidewalk maintenance requests and if they had
been getting taken care of within a reasonable amount of time. Mr. Rardin stated staff was in the
process of researching those requests and setting criteria for that process, but felt the requests
were being taken care of efficiently as possible.
5. Solid Waste Delivery Contract Options Discussion
Mr. Rardin presented the staff report.
Council and staff had discussion on the various options for collection of refuse, yard waste,
recycling, organics and SSO. Council had further discussions on extending the current contract
or separate it out into various types of refuse collection. Ms. Hellekson stated that all the
elementary schools were using the organics option through private collectors. Council further
discussed where the refuse goes. Ms. Klennert, Waste Management, stated all materials at the
curb were recycled in accordance to the MCP requirements. Ms. Hellekson stated the State
deemed the process and how much money they used to end market the material so it could be
resold. Council suggested using the Vision aspect for a long-term approach and suggested the
visioning committee look further into it.
There was Council consensus to look further into the Option 3 to provide future residential
collection services with the contingency of allowing for implementation of co-collection of
organics should it become available and negotiating for services to be provided back to Council
in a written report.
