He briefly reviewed the first meeting and noted staff has tried to develop the input received from citizens at the first meeting into ideas which would meet the State and County mandates. He noted by 1990, 16% of the City's solid waste must be recycled. He went on to briefly review the process that has been used so far in Brooklyn Center. He noted the Hennepin Recycling Group has been formed and Brooklyn Center is a member of this group, but the City is not committed at this time to going the same route as everyone else. He stated staff expects the City Council to make a decision in the next four to six months with or without the approval of the cities of Crystal and New Hope. He briefly reviewed the options which were outlined at the March 10, 1988, meeting. He noted two of the options had been ruled out at this meeting. Those were to do nothing at all and let Hennepin County handle the recycling or to take over the garbage hauling for the City and handle everything in- house. He briefly reviewed the three remaining options and stated staff has been evaluating these options. He went on to review the three options and the projected costs of these options and noted that not one of the systems will meet all the priorities which staff has presented. He stated using the current garbage haulers for other refuse and hiring someone to handle only the recycling would amount to more money being spent by each resident. He added that none of the systems will minimize the City's administrative burden because the City has to be involved to make the system work. He stated the staff recommendation to the Council will be to direct the Hennepin Recycling Group to negotiate a full service contract with a consortium of haulers, and if this is unsuccessful to then write specifications and bid out a full service contract. The City Manager then opened the meeting for public discussion. A number of residents inquired as to what type of items would be recycled and the methods for separating and storage. The EDA Coordinator stated in the City of Plymouth the residents are required to separate recyclables into three categories: metals which include tin, aluminum, and scrap metal; glass which includes all colors; and paper. He noted generally you rinse out all glass and metal containers. He added this is more for the residents benefit to avoid spoilage and odors from the leftover foods. He added you can crush your metal or aluminum cans, but it is not required. The City Manager noted so far there are no rules for crushing the cans but it does save space if you crush your tin or aluminum cans. The EDA Coordinator added at this time some of these questions are somewhat premature and cannot be answered completely until a program is in place. 5 -16 -88 -1- The City Manager recognized Mr. Floyd Stewig, 5455 Colfax Avenue North, who stated he presently crushes and saves aluminum cans to give to his grandsons to sell. He inquired if the City will buy the aluminum from residents. The City Manager responded negatively. Mr. James Woods, 5900 Upton Avenue North, inquired if the City had given any thought to not renewing licenses for businesses such as fast food restaurants which have large amounts of plastic and styrofoam. The City Manager noted this is not an area that can be regulated but they can encourage the use of more acceptable substitutes through the health regulations. A resident noted there are some types of biodegradable plastics and foam which are especially good for composting with yard wastes. Mr. Don Poss, 3212 64th Avenue North, stated he would like a few more details on how the recommendation for the consortium method has evolved. He added he thought State law required a bidding process in cities. The City Manager stated State law allows communities to form a joint powers group and allows for negotiated contracts. A brief discussion then ensued regarding how the City can be assured it is receiving a good comparable price and whether or not a consortium eventually creates a monopoly. A resident inquired how the bills would be handled. The City Manager stated it would depend upon the system chosen whether the residents would be receiving one bill for the total garbage and recycling collection or two bills, one for the garbage collection and one for the recycling. A resident inquired if there would be lower charges for two member families, as opposed to four or six member families. The City Manager noted at this time there is no difference in rate . but added some communities are charging people more money for their garbage collection if they do not recycle. A resident inquired whether there would be a senior citizen discount. The City Manager stated most communities do not have a senior citizen discount for garbage and recycling costs. Several residents noted their hauler has stated it will not be picking up yard wastes and they did not know how to dispose of them. The City Manager noted there are a few areas where yard wastes can be taken for composting, and a resident noted that two of the Hennepin County parks will accept leaves for composting, however, you must haul the bags to the parks yourself. The City Manager stated under the recycling program staff is recommending weekly pickup of yard wastes. A resident stated there is no doubt of the necessity for recycling, and he feels the easiest and cheapest method should be chosen to accomplish this. He added he felt option 4 would be the least expensive to the residents. The City Manager pointed out that no matter what system is chosen, the garbage hauling and recycling costs will rise as compared to what they are now. He added the options will be before the City Council in June or July, and there will be notices of this in the Post newspaper and on the City cable channel No. 37. The City Manager closed the meeting at 8:45 p.m. 5 -16 -88 -2-
