Besides Mr. Miller, the team <br />consists of Mr. David Bawden of the Ramsey Lions Club, Mr. Michael Unger of the <br />Ramsey Jaycees, and Ms. Anne Norris, Ramsey Communi ty Develo~ent Director. <br />Goals they have discussed include litter reduction, recycling, and neighborhood <br />Clean-up (vacant lots, junk cars, etc.). Ramsey is now going through the <br />certification process that will take approximately 90 days. <br /> <br />Mr. David Bawden stated that the key thing needed is the formation of a <br />committee which could possibly be under the direction of the Landfill <br />Contrnission. The committee would consist of communi ty leaders, business <br />persons, civic organizations, etc. Mr. Bawden stated that he would be in <br />charge of putting that together. <br /> <br />Mr. Michael Unger stated that Ramsey has the opportunity to be the first City <br />in the State of Minnesota to have a KAB Chapter. This program has been a huge <br />success through the United States. It's a tremendous program and has far- <br />reaching effects that would be ~si ti ve to the communi ty. Support is needed <br />frem small and large businesses as well as fraternal and civic organizations <br />such as the Jaycees and Lions Club. First and foremost, however, support is <br />needed fran the City to educate people about the program. <br /> <br />fotr. Miller stated that the last thing in the certification process will be a <br />base line study. Ms. Norris will be in charge of setting up a photo-metr ic <br />index and with that she will do a solid waste survey. That will get us into <br />compliance with the Anoka County Solid Waste Recycling Board. Mr. Miller <br />stated that some promotional activities include Ramsey Clean-up day with <br />programs inVOlving local 4-H Clubs, Boy SCouts, Cub Scouts, the Lions Club, and <br />the Jaycees. There is a Clean-up project with RYAA kids at Central Park and we <br />also have the Household Hazardous Waste Collection Day. Mr. Miller stated that <br />the system needs a name and they would 1 ike to have a contest to name Ramsey's <br />KAB program. There \'.ill be cash prizes for 1st, 2nd, and 3rd places which will <br />be funded by the Jaycees, Lions Club, and Waste l-1anagement of Mnnesota, Inc. <br /> <br />Mr. Bawden stated that eventually this should become a self-sustaining program, <br />but down the line we may need additional help from the City until that time. <br />Assistance fran anyone willing to help out is needed. <br /> <br />Councilnanber DeLuca questionned if Ms. Norris can handle the time requirements <br />needed for this project. <br /> <br />City Administrator Hartley stated that he has real concerns regarding that. <br />Ms. Norris will be resfOnsible for one of the most time consuming parts of the <br />project. Mr. Hartley stated that he \'.1ill be more prepared to discuss this at <br />the next meeting. <br /> <br />Mayor Reimann stated that we need to set up a Personnel Committee meeting to <br />discuss staffing. <br /> <br />Case #9: Ski Hill Proposal of Waste Management of Minnesota.
