' MEMORANDUM
' TO: Don Ashworth, City Manager
FROM: Jo Ann Olsen, Asst. City Planner
DATE: May 16 , 1989
SUBJ: Recycling Committee
The City has been receiving several calls from residents
Y g
interested in joining the Chanhassen Recycling Committee. I have
been sending applications to those interested in the committee.
Before establishing any committee, I would like direction from
yourself and the City Council as to how large the committee
should be and who should be on it.
The committee should have representatives from the general
public, waste haulers ( large and small) , City Council, Carver
' County liaison (Rick Schneider ) , and a city staff liaison. Does
the City Council want the group to be a commission with by-laws,
etc. or just an informal committee? Does the City Council wish
' to interview those interested in being on the committee and limit
the number or should all interested be permitted to attend?
I am hoping to establish the committee sometime in May with its
main goal being to recommend a long term recycling program for
Chanhassen. Please let me know your thoughts on the Recycling
' Committee.
Manager ' s Comments : I would suggest that the Council establish
' the Recycling Committee as such - a committee. It should not be
a commission. A commission would necessitate by-laws , full
transcription of minutes , and could not really consider haulers
or other professionals such as Rick Schneider, as members. Once
the committee has researched issues and potentially drafted a
model ordinance, I believe staff should be in a position to
administer that ordinance. Examples of committees which have
' developed ordinances which have later been administered by City
staff include the animal, horse, wetland and building expansion
committees .
