Comm. Minutes--January 2, 1990 406 15. ROAD COMMITTEE, Review 1990 projects with Commissioners Mr. Eckert said he asked Don Richards to accumulate information on 1990 road projects proposed by the 10 mill levy road committee, and to hold an informational meeting with the County Commissioners. Mr. Shannon asked Mr. Eckert to poll the others to decide on an appropriate time and inform the Commission at the next meeting. 16. ROAD MAINTENANCE, 52nd Avenue South Mr. St]annor~ referred to a letter which the County received December 14, 1989, from Ray Zink, Chief Engineer for the Sta'te Highway Department, concerning their meeting with local entities about the future of 52nd Avenue South. In his letter, Hr. ZinP. said the State Highway Department made a commitment to returr~ to the same group before February 1, 1990. Mr. Shannon asked Don Richards to contact Mr. Zink if the County does not hear from him by mid-January. 17. RECYCLING PROJECT, Plannin~..pepartment to implement COtlf~ty Play,net Earl Haugen introduced Robert Stein, who was an intern with his department and who is proposing that the County Courthouse be involved in a paper recycling program. Mr. Stein had good response from County departments indicating a willingness to participate on a voluntary basis. He contacted Professional Building Services, the company contracting for janitorial service at the Courthouse, and they do not foresee an increase in their charges. Additional containers will be needed to collect the paper at an estimated cost of about $250 for 10. However, this may be offset by a reduction in the garbage utility service of $20-$55 per month. Mr. Sondral'l suggested contacting the Fargo Fire Department since the paper will be stored inside the Courthouse until it is picked up by The Recycling Center. Mr. Stein said it may be collected every day depending upon the quantity, but he agreed to notify the fire department. Mr. Shannon suggested that he also notify the Fargo Planning Department. Mr. Shannon commended Mr. Stein on his efforts in investigating and implementing this project on the County level.
