City of Golden Valley City Council Regular Meeting Minutes 2
November 6, 2019—6:30 pm
6A. First consideration -Ordinance 673 & 674- Regulating Solid Waste- continued
Mayor Harris stated that per the Council's agenda all ordinances listed under new business are
eligible for public input. The following participants addressed the Council.
Mr. Andy Snope, 1030 Angelo Drive, said when he left the Council he challenged the Council to
take on this issue. He said he was pleased with the open process used in drafting the ordinance
and felt the majority of residents would be happy with it. He thanked the Council for taking up
the challenge and said there may be some future tweaks but this was a great start. He said he
appreciated the community coming together on this issue.
Mr. Christopher De La Forest, ACE Solid Waste, said his company is supportive of the ordinance
and felt overall that it represented the best practices of waste collection. He said his company
appreciated the work of staff and Council on it and felt his company can reach their goals and
continue to service their customers in the same way.
Ms. Julie Ketchum, Waste Management Public Affairs, thanked the Council for the opportunity
to speak and said she echoed what the other speakers had said. She said her company
appreciated working with staff and felt the City listened to them. She said they have one
concern, which is rate reporting because it could lead to rate restricts. She asked what the
purpose of reporting would serve because the rates are in the moment that can change
frequently and with an open market system, residents could chose to switch haulers. She also
asked because the due date of the rate information is the same time as the license could the
Council decide they do not like the rates and not allow a hauler to get a license.
Mr. Andy Welter, 2510 Aquila Avenue, asked if there was anything in the ordinance to set the
minimum haulers so that the City would keep a balance for competition.
There was Council discussion regarding the proposed ordinance regulating solid waste collection
including collection days and rate requirements. The Council thanked staff, the Environmental
Commission, the League of Women Voters and the citizens that had worked on the process.
MOTION made by Council Member Clausen, seconded by Council Member Rosenquist to amend
the Ordinance#673, section 16-194 (e)(1) to read: "Residential and Multiple Dwelling Districts.
