Kathi recalled that in ve:~r's past. the permits for Ramsev Clean 'Lip Day were (aistributed as a cut-out coupon in thc Ramsev Resident Newsletter. ;l'his fonnat resulted in abuse to the system as tile distribt~tirm of thc P, amsey Resident is not limited t~) Ramsev residents. This yea:. it is proposed that pea'nits bc obtained at Git5, Hall. It has also been suggested that a ~ainimal fee ($5.(t(/') be charged for the permit with proceeds to be put to','.':.rds Ramscy's curbside recycling pre, gram. Tile 12eneral consensus was that at today's iandfillmg prices, $5.00 is not an unreasonable fee to charge for Clean Up Day permits. Mr. Terry Miller noted th:it because of new landfill regulations, it wa:-' necessary for Waste Management of Minnesota, Inc. (WMMI) to obtain a variar~ce from Anoka County for Clean Up Da.',, in order thru the materials could be disposed of in the landfill versus the RDF plant. Mr. Hanley and Mr. Miller noted that the intent of Clean Up Day is to encourage residents to clean up their yards and charging for Clean Up Day pen'nits might defeat tha~ purpose. Mr. Miller and Mayor Rein]ann discussed how last ,,ears tire pick-up l~rogran] was abused; a lot more than Ramsey residents took advantage of the program. Mr. Miller stated that while Anoka County has not yet taken action on WMMI's request for a yard waste compost site, the County did approve the acceptance of yard wastes on Clean Up Da),. The yard waste will be used for cover in the south borrow area. Sandra Ashley presented those present with a memo indicating her recommendations for funding sources for the various aspects of the 1990 Make The Scene, Keep Ran"tsey Clean Budget (see Attachment B). The consensus of those preser~ w,as that Clean Up Da), permits will be available on a no charge/volunta~, donation basis with pre-registration; those wishing to obtain a pern]it on the day of the event will be charged $5.00. Disposal of appliances will be $6.00/each; this fee represents the cost to process appliances for recycling. Auto tires will be accepted on Clean Up Day for $1.00 each with $.50 each being returned into the KAB budget; the fee for commercial tires will be charged accordingly. There will be no charge for the disposal of car batteries and plans may even be resolved in time to have household batteo, collection available. Permits will not be necessap,., on Clean Up Day for disposal of totally recyclable items. Councilmember DeLuca suggested that the order of placement of recycling containers be advertised so that persons can load their pick-ups and trailers accordingly. Kathi Peterson noted that the proposed Household Hazardous Waste Collection Da.,,, is contingent upon obtaining MPCA matching ~ant and pro,re'am participation. Mr. Hartley referred to the proposed Community Grant pro,am and stated that there are technical matters he would like t~.~ review with the committee when this project comes up.
