MEMORANDUM
TO:
MAYOR & CITY COUNCIL
FROM:
PHIL HALS, STREET/PARK SUPT.
DATE:
MAY 20, 1994
SUBJECT: COUNTY SCORE FUNDS/COMPOSTING
e
Sherburne County has made $14,300 available for the City to establish an
ongoing composting program. Staff recommends that this money, plus about
$5,000 of landfill abatement funds, be used to construct a compost collection
facility at the street garage. This would consist of a 30 foot by 40 foot, three
sided, covered concrete structure that would allow residents to drop off yard
waste in this bin like structure one or two days per month. The material
would be stored temporarily until the Street Department would load and
haul the compost to a site in a park or on the sewer sludge land for
composting. The drop off site would be inside the yard fence and a Street
Department employee would supervise the dumping in order to eliminate
much of the dumping abuse that takes place at unsupervised sites.
The building would serve as a covered salt/sand storage building from
November to March. It is my opinion that this is a good solution to the leaf
collection issue and the dual use maximizes the use of the structure.
The Street Department would do all excavation, install the concrete footings,
core fill the concrete blocks, seal the roof and pave the floor. Contractors
would lay the concrete blocks and install a precast concrete roof.
