Dave Beehtold and I have tenta[ively set Saturday, May 20th as Spring
Cleaa-up/Park Improvement Day. Last year's clean-up cost came to a
total of $9,680.21. The landfiil tipping fee has risen from $29/ton last
year to $40/ton this year. Knutsan Rubbish has agreed to lawer its
hauling fee from $170/roll-off to $160/roll-off; however, the increase in
total residency and tipping fees appears Iikely to increase the cost of
the program. $12,000 has been budgeted for the clean-up.
Last year we allowed small trees, branches anci other yard waste to be
disposed of as part of the pragram. We can save a little money if this
element is excluded from the clean-up day event (the Dakota County
compost facility will be open at Lakeville). On the other hand, Knutson
Rubbish has requested that a City employee be on site during the day.`
While this may be seen as an additional expense, it may provide for a
rnechanism to verify residency of th�se uti)izing the free dumpin�
oPPortunily.
In order to proceed with the program and allow proper notification of
the event, Council authorization is needed at this tirne. My best
guesstimate for the costs of publishing and posting notice and
conducting the program would be anywhere from $12,000 to $15,(100.
This assumes a turn out 1'rke last year's.
