believes that the new hauler contracts will reflect a rate decrease which wil! offset this assessment. Staff will seek County approval of a contract with the City of Elk River for a lower tip fee. The proposed contract is tentatively scheduled for the October 15, 1996, County Board meeting. Staff will proceed with contract negotiations with the haulers, and would like to have a contract ready for Council approval at the October 28, 1996, City Council meeting. If we stay on schedule, we can have the new rates reflected in the November billing statement. Council Action Requested Council should direct staff to proceed with contract negotiations with Sherburne County and with Elk River's three existing residential haulers. CODE ENFORCEMENT UPDATE Staff has had 55 complaint cases in 1996. We also have 7 complaint cases carried over from 1995. 1995 The 1995 cases are some of the more difficult issues in the city. They are move intense issues that will take longer to resolve. There are a couple of these cases that staff hopes to have resolved in 1996. One of the cases will be addressed by the Council at the October 21, 1996, meeting. Jim Charest (Case #95-31) will be requesting a zone change, land use plan amendment and conditional use permit to operate a junkyard on his property. If the Council approves a junkyard for this site, the complaint case will be resolved. Staff is working closely with the property owner on Case #95-67. This is an issue where the conditional use permit requirements have not been met, but staff believes this issue will be resolved this year. 1996 In 1996, the City received 55 code complaints. Most of the 1996 cases are progressing as anticipated, as most residents have been willing to work with staff to correct the problem issues. S:\PLANNING\KENDRA\CCUPDATE.DOC
