DISCUSSION WITH JUNKER SANITATION
~
City Coordinator Kriesel addressed the problem of dumping of
brush at the City dump site. Jim Junker stated that the dump
was opened as a service to the citizens for dumping brush on
Saturday mornings, but others, such as the County, the School
District and residents of other communities have been using
the dump and the problem is getting out of hand. Council
discussed various options such as phasing out the use of the
dump. Mr. Junker will work with the City attorney on a new
ordinance restricting use of the dump to City residents only.
Motion by Councilmember Opheim, seconded by Councilmember
Bodlovick to open the City dump on the first Saturday of every
month from April through November from 8:00 a.m. to 12:00 noon
for dumping of brush only, and to have a police officer on the
site to ensure that only Stillwater residents are using the dump,
and to also have an officer at the site this weekend for the City
clean-up. (All in favor)
Council also discussed Mr. Junker's proposal for a bag system
as opposed to a sticker system for extra household waste.
Mr. Junker stated that he is concerned that stickers will be
lost or stolen. Council agreed that the bag system would be
more efficient provided the bags could be sequentially
numbered for accounting control.
r
Motion by Councilmember Funke, seconded by Councilmember
Bodlovick to approve use of the bag system, that the City will
share in the cost of the bags with Junker Sanitation, that there
will be a "no refund" policy for sale of the bags to citizens,
and that the bags will be sequentially numbered. (All in favor)
