Information submitted by haulers with .the license applications last April indicates that more than 900 non-resident customers are served by local . haulers. Furthermore, private automobiles can drive freely into the dumping grounds at any time and no restriction is placed on non-residents of the - City of Rochester. - - The acquisition or lease of property to be used as dumping grounds and the operation of these dumping grounds is paid by the City of Rochester taxpayers • without contribution from the people living outside the limits of the City. Commercial haulers engaged in the collection of refuse within the City also 1 collect outside the limits of the City. In its regular meeting on July 13, the Board discussed this matter fully and invited Mr. Archie Armstrong, City Engineer, to participate. After some dis- cussion of this topic, the Board approved the following recaanmendation to the Common Council: 1. All licensed haulers collecting `refuse for customers outside the City shall pay $4.80 per customer per year to the City of Rochester for the use of the dumping grounds. 2. An honor system for collection of fees should be established on the City dumping grounds, requesting the nominal amount of 10 cents per load to be paid by all non-residents using the dumpging grounds. With these two recommendations, the Board feels that an equitable means of defraying the cost of operation of the dumping ground$ wtll.be obtained from non-residents using these facilities. The charge to the licensed haulers can be made by the health department at least once a year at the time of issuance of the license. The haulers will be required to report • • Record of Official Proceedings of -the-- Common Council of the City .of Rochester; Minn., August 3, 1964 350 1 0 • 1 accurately with indicktion of name and address of their customers living q in theCity...limits..-The collection of the honor fee established at the City dumping grounds will be the responsibility of the City Engineer's Department. The fees obtained.from the licensed haulers for the service to non-residents should go into the Geieral Revenue Fund of the City. The Board -of Public Health and Welfare also approved to request the Common Council to increase the annual fee for the licensing'of commercial haulers from $25.00 to $35.00 per year. The increase of $10.00 per year is intended to pay for.the water and right to utilize facilities of the City dumping grounds to wash the licensed haulers' equipment. This proposal is made'to solve solve the need for a convenient central wash stand to keep the trucks clean. Sincerely yours, /s M. K.
