the revisions to public hearing.
Discussion Items
Waste Hauling
Topitzhofer said that Mangold brought the item after noticing the number of trucks coming through his neighborhood (19) on garbage day. He
and Topitzhofer said that fewer trucks may be easier on the roads, better for the environment, possibly cheaper for the residents, maybe safer.
Charnitz asked Topitzhofer what the options may be. Topitzhofer said that there has been discussion about contracting for one provider to
haul garbage. He said that it was concluded that people would prefer to have the choice of haulers. Thompson said that, on some days, some
haulers leave garbage cans laying around. Shotwell and Charnitz said that it’s such haulers that make people prefer to have a choice.
Schmidt said that a single hauler would use bigger trucks that would do more damage to the roads. Springer said that they have a single
hauler in St. Cloud and it works well, but he’s not sure of the size of the trucks. Shotwell said that maybe the City would impose a gross weight
limit for hauler trucks. Topitzhofer said that it may be that the City could limit the number of haulers in Richfield. He said that he will collect
more information from the City Manager and the City Engineer.
