He highlighted the three different options for yard waste <br />disposal, which include yard waste services offered by a resident's garbage hauler, the Anoka <br />County composite sites in Coon Rapids and Lino Lakes, and local yard waste drop-off sites. <br />Mayor Strommen asked if staff provided this input to the resident that appeared at open forum. <br />City Planner Anderson replied that he would investigate whether staff reached out to that <br />resident and if not, he would be happy to follow-up with that resident. <br />City Council / July 11, 2017 <br />Page 5 of 9 <br />
