The City then contracted with Waste Manageme~ti In~. to clean up and_, haUl away the rubbish and paid them $121.41 for their servic,e. The City th~t~ invoiced Gallagher s Service in the same amount. City Staff contacted Gallagher s Service andthey-stated they did not intend to pay this amount; instead they had forwarded the bill to Mr. Mo~Oz'slast known address. No payment has been made to the City to-date. Mr. Schroeder ~ated he believes it is Council's unstated position that contractors and license holders within the Ci,ty of Ramsey will continue to perform services in the City of Ramsey only when an expected le~l of service continues. Mr. Schroeder also believes it is Council's opinion that this incident involving Gallagher's does not demonstrate the level of service desired by the Council. Mr. Rick Galtagher of Gallagher's Service, Inc. was present and stated t,h_at the owners of Moroz Hardware o~e $$31.00 for garbage pick-up. He said it was Gallagher s intent to just leave the dumpster sii ~n the parking lot to be used for leverage with the new owner until payment was received burthe City insisted on the dumpster being removed.
