Councilman Sorteberg asked if this would be discussed further. <br />Mayor Reimann explained it would not be discussed further tonight <br />but would be on a future agenda. Councilman Sorteberg felt it <br />was somewhat backwards to set the levy limit now and discuss the <br />budget later. Councilman Cox agreed and stated the Council would <br />have to use their best abilities to use the revenue available <br />wisely for the entire community. <br /> <br />Mayor Reimann stated the Council's hands are tied and they have <br />to handle it this way or the City will lose money. <br /> <br />Motion carried. Voting yes: Mayor Reimann, Councilmembers Cox, <br />DeLuca, Pearson and Sorteberg. Voting no: None. Absent: None. <br /> <br />Case ~3: <br /> <br />Confirm Priority Ranking for Solid Waste Abatement <br />Activities <br /> <br />Administrator Hartley explained the Landfill Committee has put <br />together some priorities for solid waste abatement that <br />Councilman DeLuca needs to submit to the County task force. The <br />task force will be compiling information from all the cities. <br /> <br />Councilman Cox pointed out that some of the items are closely <br />related to others on the list. <br /> <br />Councilman DeLuca felt the top five listed should be the biggest <br />focus. He felt the first priority should be public education on <br />recycling, composting, etc. Priority Two should be education on <br />programs in operation within Anoka County already. <br /> <br />Administrator Hartley asked the Council to confirm how they felt <br />about these priorities so Councilman DeLuca knows where the <br />Council stands on solid waste in general. Discussion. <br /> <br />Councilman Cox suggested that any recycling program implemented <br />should be done County wide since other communities also bring <br />waste into the Ramsey Landfill. <br /> <br />Administrator Hartley explained State law requires that by 1992 <br />there must be a reduction of the waste stream by 20%. All <br />communities must comply with this law. <br /> <br />The consensus of the Council was that any program instituted by <br />the county task force should be done county wide and not just <br />city wide. <br /> <br />Councilman DeLuca pointed out that it is a regional landfill that <br />goes beyond the boundaries of Anoka County. Mayor Reimann said <br />this is true but it is a County task force. <br /> <br />City Council/October 6, 1987 <br /> Page 6 of 10 <br /> <br /> <br />
