ORONO CITY COUNCIL MEETING <br />MONDAY, MARCH 11,2002 <br />MAYOR/COUNCIL REPORT —ConHnued <br />Moorse stated they would discuss that specific issue at the work session on April S'**. <br />White stated they need to work together with Long Lake to develop properties that are <br />adjacent to, or across from each other, though in the other city. Moorse agreed, and stated <br />that the two cities could never support more than one grocery store. Nygard stated they do <br />not want to bring in outside traffic. Moorse stated that was why they would never bring in <br />a big box grocery store. <br />Nygard stated he had talked to Greg Gappa regarding the weight restrictions for garbage <br />trucks. He stated that Blackowiak parks its targe trucks on County Roads 15 and 19, <br />while small trucks run to the houses. National garbage collection companies, like BFl, <br />come in and ruin the roads by not following the restrictions. Gappa stated it is hard to <br />enforce the restrictions. The best solution is to get everyone on a street to agree to using <br />one service provider, and to not use a provider who disregards the City’s limits. He stated <br />that BFI has large trucks and is one of the worst offenders. When he calls BFI, they don’t <br />return his calls. The City is only able to ticket a small number of the violations. <br />Nygard asked about allowing Blackowiak’s big trucks to park SO’ onto side roads so that <br />they don’t have to park on the county roads while waiting for the small trucks to return <br />with resident’s refUse. Moorse stated that Blackowiak needs to market and educate people <br />about the difference between that company and the others. White suggested including <br />information in the City’s next newsletter about what issues people should watch for when <br />selecting a garbage collector. <br />PUBLIC SERVICE DIRECTOR’S REPORT <br />None. <br />CITY ADMINISTRATOR’S REPORT <br />*7.
