I. Administration
1. Compost Site Discussion
City Administrator reported that he and Public Works Supervisor met with representatives from
the City of Otsego to discuss ideas for managing the shared compost site. He noted that the site,
originally intended for City residents only, has become widely used by non-residents and was
costly to maintain. He said potential solutions under consideration include installing a gate,
staffing the site during designated drop-off hours, and regulating trailer sizes. He asked the
Council for input on potential weekend hour access. Nafstad reported he considered this to be
Phase 1 with Phase 2 yet to be determined. He suggested that limiting the site to Albertville
residents only could make the site more manageable. Administrator Nafstad also informed the
Council that the Planning Commission was going through a Visioning process that included the
site and answered questions from Council regarding timing and budgeting for this compost site.
Public Works Supervisor Guimont answered questions from Council regarding the compost pile.
There was Council discussion regarding options for the compost site, hours of operation for
access to the site, and the future of the compost site.
2. City Administrator’s Update
City Administrator Nafstad presented the City Administrator’s Update which included
information on upcoming projects and events within the City.
