RECYCLING PROGRAM START UP - On December 12, 1988, the City of <br />Orono approved bid award to Polka Dot Recycling to provide <br />curbside recycling starting on February 1, 1989. <br />The City has received containers for each resident and at this <br />writing, the containers are being delivered to the residents <br />along with information about the program and how to prepare <br />recyclable items. <br />The contractor will pick-up recyclables on three separate days <br />in Orono. The reason for three separata days is due to the <br />number of residents and area. We tryed to schedule the recycling <br />pick-up with refuse pick-up as close as possible but due to the <br />fact that there are seven licensed refuse haulers in Orono, it <br />was impossible to maintain that type of schedule. The City has <br />been separated into three area routes and the pick-up days are <br />Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday. <br />As the program progresses, information will be submitted as to <br />the tonnages and number of participants. <br />MCWD OPERATION POLICY - At the Minnehaha Creed Watershed <br />District's meeting of January 19th they will receive comments <br />from the agencies and discussed those as to direction for the <br />operations policy. The staff is recommending continuing the <br />operations policy and we will apprise the Council of the final <br />result. <br />CITY ADMINISTRATOR VACATION - It is presently anticipated that I <br />will be taking vacation from March 10th through Monday, the 20th. <br />John Gerhardson will be the Acting Administrator in my absence. <br />PAYROLL CONVERSION - Within the next month the City will^ undergo <br />a conversion on its LOGIS system to improve the flexibility of <br />accounting in its payroll areas. This conversion is being done <br />by all LOGIS cities and will initially show up through the use of <br />different checks and stubs.
