Comm. Minutes--October 7, 1991 758 13. ROAD AND BRIDGE CONCERNS, County Road 22 east of Harwood Mrs. Toussaint said the County Commission has received telephone calls and letters from concerned citizens in the area of the newly constructed bridge east of Harwood on County Road 22. Most recently, a letter was received from the Mayor of Harwood, Tom Stennes. Mr. Richards said local residents are concerned about the school crossing signals. He said the North Dakota Department of Transportation Safety Department determined the type of signals warranted at this location, and they have federal grant money to pay most of the cost of what they feel is warranted. Mr. Richards said the next step should be to sit down with the entire city council and explain the county's responsibility to them and explain the State's safety grant funds. Mrs. Toussaint asked him to meet with Harwood res idents in the near future and to contact Mr. Stennes to make the arrangements. Mr. Richards said he has kept the local school officials advised of what is going on, and he said he will call Mr. Stennes to arrange a meeting with them. The North Dakota Department of Transportation scheduled a ribbon cutting ceremony at the Harwood bridge site at 5:00 PM on October 17th, according to Mr. Richards. Former County Commissioner Oscar Sondrall will be invited to attend. 14.

RECYCLING PROGRAM, Contract with Minnkota Recyclin~ When Cass County began a recycling program, there was no charge for the collection of recyclable materials; and the County saved about $70.00 per month in garbage collection fees. Now that the amount of materials being recycled has exceeded the demand for those materials resulting in poor market conditions, according to Minnkota Recycling, they will begin charging Cass County a flat rate of $72.00 per month for recycling services. Earl Haugen said the County Commission needs to decide whether or not to continue the recycling program at a cost of $72.00 per month.
