~ PAGE 7 CITY COUNCIL MINUTES DECEMBER 16. 1985 Mr. Tom Woods questioned what the purpose of the public hearing was and further noted he would like to see the Council create a dialogue about the Anoka County Resource Recovery Project. Mayor Hinkle closed the public hearing. Councilmember Engstrom stated he was under the impression that each county would be responsible for their own residue. and indicated he thought the haulers from each County would be hauling their residue back to their own Counties. Matt Hemmelgren indicated he felt the Counties would not haul back their own residue because if they had somewhere to dump it to begin with they would not be signing a contract to use the RDF facility. Further discussion was held on the fact of whether the Elk River Landfill would have more fill hauled in with the RDF facility than without it. COUNCILMBMBER ENGSTROM MOVED TO ADOPT RESOLUTION 85-83. A RESOLUTION GIVING APPROVAL TO A SOLID WASTE FACILITIES PROJECT AND EXPRESSING THE INTENT OF THE CITY OF ELK RIVER AS TO CERTAIN RELATED MATTERS. COUNCILMEMBER SCULDT SECONDED THE MOTION. THE MOTION PASSED 4.....0. 11. Consideration of Snow Removal Parking Ordinance Mayor Hinkle noted that at the last Council Meeting. the Council directed staff to develop a snow removal parking ordinance which would prohibit parking in City commercial areas between the hours of 2:00 a.m. and 6:00 a.m. from November 15 to April 15 and to restrict parking in residential areas to an odd/even system of parking during the same period. Police Chief Zerwas stated he felt that should an odd/even system go into effect it would generate more complaints from the public and further that it would be extremely hard to enforce. He further noted he felt the system would create confusion due to the fact the City does not have the means to keep the people notified of the system. Councilmember Gunkel indicated she felt the 2:00 to 6:00 policy would not address the problem with the cars parked on the streets. Phil Hals indicated he felt his men could get the areas that cause the major problems in the City during these hours. COUCNILMEMBER ENGSTROM MOVED TO ADOPT ORDINANCE 85-11. AN ORDINANCE AMENDING SECTION 1100.16 OF THE CITY ORDINANCES REGARDING SNOW REMOVAL PARKING. COUNCILMEMBER SCHULDT SECONDED THE MOTION. THB MO'l'ION PASSED 4-0.
