Councilmember Holmgren arrived at this time. e Mr. Beck outlined the conditional use permit. Councilmember Kropuenske stated that he felt a study on traffic and noise as a result of the RDF Plant should be undertaken. Mayor Tralle stated that he is concerned wi th the number of trucks on the road in this vicinity during rush hours. Mr. Beck stated that the RDF trucks are currently restricted from operating between the hours of 4:00 to 6:30 p.m. Mayor Tralle also stated that this restriction should be more heavily enforced and that he was very concerned over truck activity into the plant, off of Highway 10, during traffic rush hours. Mr. Beck went on to discuss the litter control issue. Mayor Tralle questioned whether the trucks are covered. Mr. Beck stated that trucks are covered on their way into the RDF Plant, but that it is difficult to cover an empty truck exiting the RDF Plant. Councilmember Schuldt questioned the reasoning behind having the RDF Plant reimburse the City for the purchase of a platform truck for the Fire Station. Mayor Tralle stated that because of the RDF Plant, a larger truck was purchased. Councilmember Kropuenske stated that the traffic caused by the RDF Plant has also increased the police time needed. Mayor Tralle stated that he would like to have staff look into the possibility of having City Inspectors on site full time to inspect the trucks at the RDF Plant. Mr. Beck now turned the discussion to the RDF license. e Mayor Tralle questioned whether the haulers remained on the premises while the loads were inspected. Mr. Beck stated that the City could observe an inspection at the RDF Plant. Mayor Tralle stated that the fees for such inspections should be charged back to the RDF Plant. Mr. Beck indicated that the RDF Plant should advertise its public drop-off facil ity and cooperate with the City in its recycling efforts.
