Regular meeting October 10, 2005 place were very stealthy, as Council had not heard of anything about the negotiations that had taken place. He felt the Council was blind-sided and actually only heard by accident, while he was in Jefferson City at a meeting. Mr. Wagner requested City Manager do better in communicating with Council about policy issues such as this, how we are going to make use of facilities that were paid for by the public. Ms. Welsch was in support of Mr. Wagner and felt that there were a lot of questions to be answered. Ms. Brot agreed with Mr. Wagner and Ms. Welsch. She acknowledged Mr. Wagner's knowledge as being the chairman of St. Louis/Jefferson Solid Waste Management District. She agreed with Ms. Welsch about what UCity would pay for the use of streets, the damage to them and the inconvenience of the trucks on our streets. She also wanted to find out who would control of what was actually being dumped. Mr. Sharpe said that he was glad that Mr. Ollendorff stated that this was not critical to be voted on tonight and a meeting would take place after this meeting to discuss this request. We have been informed previously that our facility is under utilized, so a discussion would help to clear up questions. Request to Speak: Derrick Stanley, 12149 Autumn Lakes, Maryland Heights He is a representative of Fred Weber Inc. Mr. Stanley said that discussions really began twenty year ago. Missouri is the fourth largest waste export in the nation. Fred Weber's offer is substantial and would yield UCity around $ 3000,000 a year. Fred Weber is working hard on waste diversion. Missouri use to have over 400 disposal sites and now down to 26. Ms. Brot asked what was meant by waste diversion. Mr. Stanley said it meant reducing, reusing, or recycling; the three "r"s. It is the ability of keeping material from going to waste. Ms. Welsch thanked Mr. Stanley for coming and said that she wished that they would have had some of that information prior to this Agenda. She also would like to discuss about educating our community on waste management. Mr. Wagner thanked Mr. Stanley for coming and said that when a meeting has been scheduled for Council's discussion, we will then vote on the Agenda item.
