RESOLUTION NO. 4597
RESOLUTION REQUESTING STATE LEGISLATURE
TO ENACT LEGISLATION FOR THE PROHIBITION
OF THE SALE OF NON -RETURNABLE DISPOSABLE
BEVERAGE CONTAINERS
WHEREAS, the City Council has held numerous public hearings on
the question of the prohibition of the sale of certain non -returnable
disposable beverage containers in St. Louis Park, and
WHEREAS, the City Council supports the concept of limiting the
sale of such containers, and
WHEREAS, many members of the City Council believe that such an
ordinance on the local level is felt to be discriminatory and may
place a hardship upon the residents and merchants of St. Louis Park,
and
WHEREAS, such legislation should be enacted at the State level,
therefore
BE IT RESOLVED by the City Council of the City of St. Louis Park
that the City wishes to have its legislators work diligently for the
adoption of not only a state-wide ban on the sale of non -returnable
disposable beverage containers but a solution to the solid waste
disposal crisis in the 1973 session of the Legislature and pledges
its support to such proposed legislation.
