WHEREAS, Minnesota Statutes Section 115A.94 allows cities to organize collection of
solid waste and identifies a process for organization; and
WHEREAS, the City Council of the City of Chanhassen provided mailed notice to
licensed solid waste haulers and published notice in the official newspaper of a public hearing
on May 24, 1993, to consider organizing solid waste collection; and
WHEREAS, the City Council adopted Resolution No. 45B, A RESOLUTION OF
INTENT TO COMMENCE THE PROCESS OF EVALUATION AND PLANNING FOR A
POTENTIAL SYSTEM OF ORGANIZED SOLID WASTE COLLECTION IN THE CITY OF

WHEREAS, the City of Chanhassen Organized Collection Study Committee has

Chanhassen Organized Collection Study;" and
WHEREAS, the City of Chanhassen has mailed notice to licensed solid waste haulers,
published notice in the official newspaper and held the public hearing on November 8, 1993, and

NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED that the City Council accepts the "City of
Chanhassen Organized Collection Study," accepts The Findings and Recommendations of the
Organized Collection Study Committee and authorizes the Committee to begin a 90-day review
period to discuss possible organized collection arrangements with the City of Chanhassen. The
Council has directed that the Organized Collection Program should be based upon developing
reasonable districting of the community, preparing a "menu" of mandatory and optional services,
developing a list of requirements to define haulers eligible to participate in the program and
utilizing a competitive open bidding process to select haulers on a district-by-district basis.
NOW, BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED that the Council has encouraged the use of a "dual
track" approach. In addition to working on organized collection, staff is directed to work with
the city's licensed haulers to ascertain if they can develop an effective alternative to organized
collection that meets the City Council's goals. The intent-of this process is to ideally have two
alternate strategies to present to the Council for review and selection.
Passed and adopted by the Chanhassen City Council this 13th day of December, 1993.
