9288.2HD To: Mark E. Bernhardson, City Administrator From: John R. Gerhardson, Public Works Director Date: September 1, 1988 Subject: Proposed Solid Waste Transfer Station Hennepin County Truck Station - Orono On August 29, 1988, the City of Orono received a notice from Hennepin County explaining designatipns of Solid Waste Transfer Stations, permanent and temporary (see attached). The notice stated that the Hennepin County Truck Station, 3880 Shoreline Drive, Orono, was designated as a temporary transfer station. On August 31, 1988, I talked to Vern Genzlinger, Associate County Administrator. Vern explained that the notice was very broad and did not explain the program clearly. On September 1, 1988, I received a call from Dave Winter regarding the temporary site program. Mr. Winter stated that Hennepin County listed an inventory of all County properties that may possibly be used for temporary sites. If a temporary site is confirmed it will be a "Weight Station" and not a transfer station. I explained the procedures they would have to follow to use the Orono site and he stated that if there are too many problems they probably would not use the Orono site.
