Fees for Compost/Wood Waste Drop Off <br />Mr. Hals presented the staff report. <br />Counciltnember Gumphrey asked how the area would be policed, how would participants <br />obtain permits, and commented that he felt the $100 charge for commercial businesses was <br />too low. <br />Mr. Hals explained the location of the area and how it would be signed. He stated permits <br />could be offered for sale at both liquor stores as well as at the public works site and City <br />hall. Since it is a County-wide program, any Sherburne County resident would be able to <br />purchase a permit and the money obtained from the purchase would stay with the City it <br />was sold in. He stated the program would be reviewed after a year. <br />Councilmember Gumphrey stated the program sounds like a good idea but suggested a <br />higher fee for commercial users. <br />MOVED BY COUNCILMEMBER MOTIN AND SECONDED BY <br />COUNCILMEMBER WESTGAARD TO APPROVE THE FEES FOR <br />COMPOST/WOOD DROP OFF AT $10 FOR RESIDENTS AND $100 FOR <br />COMMERCIAL USERS AS OUTLINED IN THE STAFF REPORT AND TO RE- <br />EVALUATETHE PROGRAM IN ONE YEAR.
