3o%ililWL MEETING <br />TO: Mayor Grabek and Councilmembers <br />City Administrator Bernhardson 1AAR 141KS <br />FROM: John R. Gerhardson, Public works Director <br />WY OF URUNG <br />DATE: March 8, 1988 <br />BOBJ: Proposed Compost Program 1988 <br />For the past several years, the City of Orono has accepted yard <br />waste (leaves and grass clippings) three times per year at the <br />scheduled spring and fall clean-up days. <br />In the last three years, we have developed a compost site on City <br />property rather than haul the yard waste to a land rill. As you <br />are aware, land fills will not be accepting yard waste by 1990. <br />Because we cannot schedule our spring and fall clean-up days to <br />coincide with yard clean-up it is diVicult for residents to <br />dispose of yard waste in the proper manner. The closest drop-off <br />site other than Orono-s is Maple Grove. I have received several <br />comments from residents requesting more days during the spring, <br />summer, and fall when they can drop off their yard waste and not <br />have to drive all the way to Maple Grove. <br />Therefore, I have calculated the costs of expanding the program <br />for accepting yard waste only for one Saturday a month from 8:00 <br />AM to Noon, June through October of each year. The total costs <br />amount to $616.80. <br />Recommendation - To approve designating one Saturday per month <br />from 8:00 AM to 12:00 Noon from June through October to accept <br />yard waste from Orono residents. <br />PROPOSED MOTION: moved, seconded, to designate one <br />Saturday per month rom 8:00 Ati to 12:00 '.,00n from June through <br />October to accept yard waste from Orono residents.
