This Highway 10 location is completely out of sight from my <br />home, thus I would be helpless to prevent nuisance spills caused <br />by vandals, cats, dogs or raccoons. <br /> <br /> ~Again, I do recycle and my refuse is being properly disposed <br />of in the dumpster at my business. <br /> <br /> In your letter you stated "you will be billed whether you <br />use this service or not." This implies that only financial <br />participation is actually mandatory. I cause no additional <br />expense to be incurred by the hauler for labor, vehicle costs or <br />tipping fees when I cannot participate. Without questioning the <br />City's revenue raising options, I find it troubling that the City <br />would continue to mandate that a private business be paid for <br />nothing. <br /> I appeal to your common sense to exempt me from this <br />mandatory hardship, safety hazard and nuisance. <br /> <br /> This is an opportune time to address this problem also: <br />My main reason in asking the City to recognize this public road <br />is to get it on the map and to get a street sign. It is the duty <br />of the City to maintain accurate maps and to furnish this <br />information to the 911 dispatch officials so that all citizens <br />may have the chance to receive equal protection by police, fire <br />and emergency medical personnel. Three times I have called for <br />non-emergency police assistance and every time the officers who <br />were dispatched had difficulty finding my home. The first time, <br />the officer never arrived. I called back 45 minutes later to <br />tell them that I no longer needed help. The second time, the <br />officer called us back several times to get directions before he <br />could find us. The last time was this Spring, when my wife <br />walked out to Highway 10 and stood waving her arms over her head <br />to get the attention of the officer who was searching for our <br />address. <br /> We obviously do not live on Highway 10. I am convinced that <br />the key to ending this hazardous situation is to recognize this <br />"public highway" in some form and to include it on the map, along <br />with a suitable sign. <br /> <br /> I would appreciate it if you could direct this last problem <br />to the appropriate city staff. Thanks. <br /> <br />Sincerely, <br /> <br />Dwight Kirkeide <br />11230 173rd. Ave. N.W. <br />Elk River, Mn. 55330 <br /> <br /> # <br />441-3350 or 434-7700w <br /> <br /> <br />
