COMMISSION MEMBERS NOT PRESENT: John Brynildson, John Hustad, Nancy Misra, John Thompson and Lyle Wray. APPROVAL OF AGENDA: The topics of Multi-Housing Recycling and the Time Line will be discussed at the next meeting. APPROVAL OF MINUTES: The minutes were not approved due to lack of a quorum. Shirley Chenoweth reviewed the ECO (Environmental Cities Coalition) program that Mayor Tom Baldwin discussed at the October meeting. Terry Iverson will contact John Brynildson to confirm his knowledge of scheduled dates and times of the commission meetings. Laura Kuettel will contact commission members reminding them of the workshop scheduled for Wednesday, December 12. Marty McCleery and Kuettel suggested that the commission's December meeting be used to set up goals and objectives to present at the workshop. If the commission comes to the workshop with several options, time may be used more efficiently. Other suggested areas for discussion: involvement in the ECO, a site for plastics pickup, mandatory recycling for residents and businesses, discussion of reduction in paper consumption at city hall. 1991 Funding: Chenoweth was contacted by the county regarding our participation in the recycling grants provided through county-collected taxes. The City Council decided at the October 24 meeting to cease participation in the county program and charge residents directly, through the sewer bill, for the service fee. The 1989 charge was approximately 5.25/quarter the current charge is $13.43/qtr. It is assumed that the 1991 charge will increase. It may be necessary for a public hearing on the matter. The council feels the city will provide recycling services at a lower rate and that residents may recycle more after viewing the recycling service charge every quarter. Chenoweth showed the commission a letter sent by Congressman Bruce Vento in response to a letter from John Thompson. Congressman Vento wants to reduce the rate of postage for 2nd and 3rd class mailings using recycled paper; and shares your concern" regarding the environment. The letter was typed on non-recycled paper. That prompted some brain-storming on the various ways that City Hall might reduce the amount of paper it consumes: routing an original memo vs. making copies; canceling duplicate copies of newspaper/magazines; circulating articles and routing vs. making copies; and two-sided copying. Chenoweth stated that most of these ideas have already been implemented. MINUTES Solid Waste Commission 1 November 1990 page two Chenoweth needs assistance in the preliminary work for bins. She will write the cover letter. There members able to lend their expertise. preparing a grant proposal may be some commission There is money left in the 1990 budget for a Fall/Winter newsletter. With very little time left to produce such a newsletter; commission members should bring ideas/articles to the December meeting. Kuettel suggested thanking Leo and Diana Klisch in the newsletter for their work on the commission. The commission members present suggested various options for those unable to attend meetings. Chenoweth read that the absence of a member for three consecutive meetings may be one basis for removal from the commission. Iverson suggested members inform the group of a leave of absence in writing. The expertise of the members is needed and flexible contributions to the group are welcome. The commission would like to be informed if members are unable to attend. Should the commission adopt by-laws? This is a volunteer-staffed operation; those unable to attend but wishing to participate in other waysneedonlyinformthecommissionofconflicts. Should the commission be expanded? It was suggested that faces of absent members may soon begin to appear on milk cartons! Iverson updated the commission on Household Hazardous Waste. The county has the funds and has approved the building of a permanent site for 1991. OSHA has mandated that fire departments create a hazardous materials response team. Kuettel contacted the Energy Consortium and was informed that the permanent site is set to operate in the Spring and this will include household battery disposal. In the meantime they suggested residents dispose of all non-car batteries through their refuse pickup instead of storing them for the next several months. Chenoweth informed the group that three apartment complexes have implemented recycling programs and that Supercycle has been very helpful. She will be contacting other multi-housing managers in the future. Iverson wants to pursue the letter writing campaign to Midwest Bottling Co. regarding the can crusher rebate offer. McCleery made a motion, Michael Haglund seconded it and the meeting was adjourned at 9:29pm. Respectfully submitted, Laura Kuettel, Secretary ATTACHMENT B MINUTES PARKS AND RECREATION COMMISSION MEETING NOVEMBER 15, 1990, THURSDAY 7:00 P.M. Members Present: Connie Lasser, Jeff Johnson, Steven Schugel, Linda McLoon, Carol Kriegler, Parks Director, Sam Jacobs, Council Liason, Paul Ciernia, Vince Members Absent: Carol Huso, Deborah Weiland, Lloyd Jacobson, JyneenThatcher 1. Ice Rinks Paul Ciernia came to present his case for allowing hockey to remain on the Falcon Hts. school rink. He felt that it would be impossible to enforce a "no hockey" rule, and that only younger kids (5-7) were playinghockeyanyway, who used the rink the short way, not its length. There was some discussion as to the real age of the kids playing hockey there probably more like 9 and 10 year olds) and about complaints from parentswhoweren't able to use the rink for pleasure skating because of safetyconcernsaboutthehockeyplaying. There are no hockey boards, nor anyplantopurchasethesefortheschool. After a lengthy discussion, it was agreed unanimously by the commission to try to set guidelines for rink usage and use the school newspaper, Falcon Hts. newsletter and distribution of flyers to neighborsthatitwas, 1: important to be considerate on the ice, taking care if youngchildrenweretherelearninghowtoskate2: using only 1 /2 of the rink for hockey, particularly if others were pleasure skating. It is important to have an enforceable policy concerning rink usage and we agreed to give this a try. We agreed we would assess the actual age of the hockey players there this season and reassess the policy next year. There will only be a hockey rink at the Community Park this year, due to the new sod. We unanimously agreed that it was important to serve everyone. We all agreed to have pleasure skating only from 4-5:30 Mon. thru Fri., and pleasure skating from 11-1 on Sat and 12-2 on Sun for this season. For Christmas vacation, Saturday hours will be maintained for free skating. These will all be clearly posted. Ice maintenance and snow removal policies in Roseville are basicallylefttoanindividual, who decides, based on temperature and snow conditions, if the rinks are to be plowed on sat. so that people can skate onSunday. They use seasonal help to clear the rinks of snow at 55.50/hour. They set priority rinks, and only those have the snow removed on Sat. WedecidedthatCarolshoulddecideifsnowremovalshouldoccuronSaturdaybasedonherjudgement. Vince was nervous about part-time help using the snow removal equipment. He agreed, at Sam's suggestion, that George and a second older part-time person would be trained to use the equipment for snow removal during weekdays. 2. Community Park Building The security system is still not hooked up at the building. They are still correctly the landscaping problems. Vince painted the bad areas to identify where they need to correct problems. The contractor sodded the side of the building and the open triangle area. They are fixing holes, they fixed the locks and are working through the list. 3. Donation Requests and MDTED Grant There was no further news on any of the requests or on the grant. Mary Jo McGuire sent the agency a letter in support of the project for Idaho and Snelling Park. 4. Fall Programs Carol distributed the statistics on the fall programs. Most di~1 very well and overall the programs covered all costs and made 5260'~profit.' 5. Programming Ideas Carol asked if we wanted to go in with Roseville for a Breakfast with Santa. She felt if we did our own we should do a Pizza Party rather than breakfast. Kids like pizza and the food costs would be less. Then more money could be put into entertainment. We agreed there was a benefit in having less kids at an event like this. Carol will look into the Pizza Party with Santa arrangements, probably to be held between 11 and 1 p.m. She asked for suggestions of musical groups. Linda suggested the Sunshine Band. Carol said she would investigate costs. Carol asked for programming ideas. Linda suggested Gingerbread House building or cookie baking. 6. Lions Update The Lions Club will use the area east and south of the hockey boards and use the boards as part of their containment. Sam and Carol looked at the lighting, and even if nothing else was done, the lighting for the hockey rink will illuminate their sales area nicely.

TO 9E448675 P . 06 A- 5 Memo to Terry Schutten Wovember 5, 1994 aqe 2 BA,GRGROIT,NI.? 1. Waste Management Service Charge A Waste Management Service Charge (WMSC) is assessed on all residential properties xn Ramsey County. This charge provides funds for the operation of the recycling center on Rice Street, household hazardous waste management, yard waste management, general solid waste planning and regulation, and other administrative expenses. For 1990 the WMSC was $8.16 on residential parcels, and $5.29 per unit for apartments. The 1991 WMSC is expected to be $11.47 for residential parcels, and 57.38 for apartments. . In some communities the residential parcels are assessed a recycling portion with their WMSC. This charge provides funds for curbside recycling programs ~.n the municipalities. For 1990 the charge was SX3.43 on residential parcels, and $8.71 per unit for apartments. For 1997 the recycling portion of the WMSC may vary from city to city. This is because in 1991 the method used to calculate the charge may change, based on the Department's proposed 199, budget, so that the recycling charges assessed in each city will match the funds required by the city' . 2. Exemption Process Cities wa.thin Ramsey County may request an exemption from the recycling portion of the WMSG so that their residents do not have to pay that portion of the WMSC. Ci.tS.es cannot request exemption from the WMSC itself, as this charge is used to fund activities from which all cities benefit, such as household hazardous waste management, yard waste management, public education, planning and regulation. The purpose of the exemption is to provide an incentive for cities tv implement long term funding mechanisms for curbside recycling. The Master Plan states that cities qualify for an exemption if they meettiefollowing criteria: 1. The city can document that it has met the recycling goal for the year in which it will receive the exemption; and 2. The city will not need funding from the County for its recycling program; and 3. The City can show how it will continue to meet the recycling goals. Exemption from the recycling portion of the WMSC is currently granted one year st a time. This is necessary because the recycling goals for each city increase significantly through 1992. Cities have to continue tt~ improve recycling performance to continue to be eligible for an exemption. z A-6 NC1U-2C~-199G~ 89 ~ 89 FRIJM R . C . R . ~ . A .

The Board decided to continue to provide funding to cities until dates certain in 1991 by amend~.ng the Recycling Implementat~.on Strate lafter that the County will no longer provide fundingfor curbside recycling. Further, the Muster Plan will be revised in 1991, following adoption by the Metropol~.tan Council of its revised Solid Waste Policy Plan. CITIES RE VESTING EXEMPTiQNS Eight cities have requested exemptions from the recycling portion of the WMSC. These cities are listed, along with data related to their request, in Table 1 at the end of this memorandum. Detailed summaries of each pragram are provided in Appendices A~-H at the end of this document. To determine whether cities have met their 1991 recycling goals in 1990 the Master Plan suggests that it is better to use actual data rather than projected data. Far that reason the Department has presented recycling tonnages for the period of July ~,, X989 through June 30, 1990. These data are all actual tonnages reported to the County by the cities. As shown in Table 1, five cities have met the criteria necessary to qualify for an exemption: Falcon Heights, North Oaks, St. Anthony, white Bear Lake, and White Bear Township. The specific descriptions of these programs are found in the Appendices at the end of this document. Three cities have fallen short of their 1991 recycling goals: Lxttl.e Canada Little Canada is 17.58 tons short of its 1991 recycling goal using data from 7/1$9 to b/30/90. Appendix B shows that the City's recovery of recyclable materials has shown a steady increase during this period, imply~.ng that they would come very close to meeting the 1991 goal using data from calendar year 1990. Little Canada has established a long term funding mechanism by organizing collection, and is working to ensure service to multifamily unit dwellings by ordinance or contract. These strong efforts by the City indicate a commitment by the City to their curbside recycling program. Staf:E recommend that Tittle Canada receive the exemption. Vadnais Beights vadnais Heights is short of its 1991 recycling goal by 5.44 tons. The City has organized col.lectian, and has shaven steady increases izx recycling tannages since ,7uiy of 1989 (Appendix f') . The City has also recently submitted a grant request to the Metropolitan Council to purchase recycling containers for residents, These efforts have led staff to conclude that the City is committed to its curbside recycling program and should receive an exemption. A-7 NOV-28-1990 8918 FROM P..C.R.R.A. Tr 9448675 P.~8 1 U Memo to Terxy Schutten November 5, 1990 Page four Mounds View The Cxty of Mounds View ,has fallen short of its 1991 goal by X3.3.90 tons. xhe 3.991 goal ~.s 480 tons, while the volume recycled from 7/1/89 to 6/30/90 was 366.11 tons. The City has established a long term funding mechanism, in the form of an ordinance whick~ requires haulers to provide recycling services and to charge homeowners for that service. The ordinance also requires haulers to provide recycling service to multifamily residences. The City has shown a steady increase in recycling participation since 7/1/89 (from 14.035 to 24.84 per month) and in tons Collected per Month (17.11 to 43.38). - A couple of reasons may help explain why Mounds View is short of its goal. Part of the reason lies with the goal: the Master Plan projected a population in Mounds View of 13,700. The latest population estimate for the City is 93$ of that, or 12,738. The recycling goals are derived from waste generation estimates which are based on population; it could be argued that Mounds View's ~, goal should be 935 of the current goal of 480 tons, or 44b tons.` In that case the City is still short of its goal by 79.89 tons. One other reason could be the relatively high proportion of multifamily units in the City, which accounts for about 29~k of the total households. Only about 10~ of these units were provided with recycling service during the measurement period. Although the Cxty is short of its goal, staff recommends an exemption. The City's hauler based recycling system includes convenient service (weekly, same day), and volume-based fees. The City has been awarded a grant by the Metropolitan Council for the purchase of bins, which will be delivered before the end of 1990. There should be a substantia3. increase in multifamily recycling as service becomes available to ail multifamily buildings. Ali of these should result in increased recycling levels i~- 3.991. There is one additional exemption staff recommend: Spring Lake Park The City of Spring Lake Park has b3 households in Ramsey County and 2,284 in Anoka County. Since most of the City i.s located a.n Anoka County, Spring Lake Park continues to work with Anoka County to sustain its z~ecycling program. It is impractical for Ramsey County to provide funding to this city, as it would qualify for less than $1,000 in recycling grants, and the time and expense of entering into an agreement would outweigh the benefit of the funds. For this reason, staff recommends that Spring Lake Park be exempt from the recycling portion of the WMSC. Spring Lake Park rece~.ved exemptions in 1988, 1989, and 1990 for. the same reasons. A-8 i Memo to Terry $chutten November 5, x944 pane five FINANCIAL CpNSIDERATIQNS These exemptions have been taken into account in the proposed 1991 Solid Waste Management budget. Therefore, action to approve the exemptions will have no financial impact on the recycling portion of the budget in 1991. These cities have been made aware that they will be ineligible to receive County funding for recycling programs if they are granted the exemption in 1991. STAFF RECUMMBNDATIQN Staff recommends that the County Board grant exemptions from the recycling portion of the V+TMSC in 1991 for residents in the Cities of Falcon Heights, Little Canada, Mounds View, North oaks, 5t. Anthony, spring Lake park, Vadnais xeights, White Bear Lake and White Bear Township. 5 A-9 hlOl.~-2©-1990 09 12 FROM R.C.R.R.A.

Wiessner City Administrator City of Falcon Heights 2077 West Laxpenteur Avenue Falcon Heights, MN 55113-559 RE: Sanitary Sewer Stub Maintenance Dear Ms. Wiessner: Sanitary sewer stubs serving private paroels in Falcon Heights are usually constructed from the main to the vicinity of the right of way line by the City of Falcon Heights, and the cost of this is assessed to the property owner. The remainder of the line going into the private property is constructed by the pxvpex'ty Qwner at the property owners expense. Maintenance of the entire stub from the sewer main in the street to the building is the responsibility, under current Cade Section 4-3..09 of the owner or occupant.

City of St. Paul Water Utility repairs everything in the street and the property owner is responsible from property line to the house. City of Roseville is responsible for the mainline with the property. owner responsible from the mainline to the house. If reconstruction of street and sewer is being done, the City will reconstruct sewer line and assess property owners if property owner requests the work. City of MoundsView is responsible for mainline only and property owner from mainline to the house. City of Maplewood is responsible for mainline and property owner from mainline to house. However, if a property owner has a problem with the clay pipe, the City will pay for that property owner to replace clay for cast iron from mainline to the right-of-way.

It has been suggested that more appropriate vehicles for this effort might be either AMM or the Suburban Rate Authority rather than each City contracting directly. At this time, Blaine is the only City which has entered into an agreement. Both the AMM and SRA Boards will be discussing this soon. ACTZOIZ RE QEQS2ED at this time.

October 1, 1990 Jan Wiessner Administrator 1644 Larpentettr Ave W Falcon Hts, MN 55113 Dear Ms. Wiessner: What is the most costly line item in many city budgets? What public agency paps many of the highest wages and fringebenefitsinthemetropolitanarea? What public agency gets 95 percent of its $120,000,000 operatingrevenuesfromcities? What public agency that serves cities exclusively has no directcityvoiceinitsaffairs? The answer to all of these questions is: the Metropolitan WasteControlCommission. The Metropolitan Waste Control Commission (MWCC) ranks rightbehindtheMetropolitanTransitCommission (MTC) with the secondlargestbudgetofallthemetropolitanagencies. Contrary to theMTC, which receives its revenues from the fare box, the stategovernment, the federal government, as well as a tax within eachcity, the MWCC gets 95 percent of its current $120,000,000 budgetfromthecities. That means the cities mast come tip with114,000,000. And there is no opting out! The MWCC charges continue to grow. At a time when many citiesareforcedtocurtailsomemunicipalservicesbecauseofreducedrevenues, the cost of wastewater treatment is going up athistoricallyunprecedentedrates. The MWCC is not subject to any budgetary constraints such as thelevylimitlawimposedoncities. It can raise rates at will. THE PROBLEM: No one speaks for the cities, There is no oneconsistentlyandintensivelywatchingtheCommissionandadvocatingtheinterestsofcities. There is no one consistentlydoinganalysestoassurethatMWCCactivitiesandexpendituresarenecessaryandintheinterestsofitsusers, the cities. Stich lack of oversight has contributed to some known, andprobablymanyunknown, excessive expenditures in the past. Forexample, at the present time many MWCC personnel and fringebenefitcostsfarexceedcomparablemunicipalpersonnelandfringebenefitcosts. Yet, it is the cities which pay thesecosts, In addition, not only are these expenditures a directaddedcostthroughratechargestocities, but a secondary costisthatsuchpracticecomplicatesmunicipallabornegotiations. 1 5913 Chowen South • Minneapolis, Minnesota 55410 • (612) 926-6201 THE SOLIITION: Metro Relations, Inc. has been est ablished to provide an ongoing MWCC oversight, analysis and advocacy serviceforyourcitqandothercities. It will assure the presence of the interests of cities at Commission discussions anddeliberations. It will provide analyses of Commission issuesfromthemunicipalperspective, and will advocate, when appropriate, the interests of your city and others with theCommission. No city can afford on its own to provide such service consistently and. in depth. Bttt by joint action, an on-goingprofessionalmonitoring, analysis and advocacy service can be provided for a very low individual municipal investment. What are the BENEFITS? A major focus will be on keeping MWCC budget increases to absolute necessary levels. Success in keeping an MWCC budget increase down just 1 percent would save the cities over a million dollars in one pear, and would multiply many times over the small investment in Metro Relations, Inc. For the first time your city and the other cities will have an on-going professional presence with the Commission, someone who knows the system and knows the process. The investment in Metro Relations, Inc. is not competitive with other general fond priorities, or such memberships as the Association of Metropolitan Municipalities or the League of Minnesota Cities. Because the focus of Metro Relations, Inc. is exclusively on the MWCC, the city's subscription fee can, and appropriately should, be a part of the municipal sewer service enterprise budget. To assure effective coordination Metro Relations Inc. will meet regularly with the appropriate Board committee of the the Association of Metropolitan Municipalities. I will be the program's principal staff person. I have the qualifications and capabilities to make the program work effectively. I was Executive Director and Department Director for the Metropolitan Council. I know well the operations of the MWCC from these several years of oversight responsibilities and other more recent studies. I also understand the needs and concerns of cities. This stemsfrommytermasExecutiveDirectoroftheAssociationof Metropolitan Municipalities. I know the system. I am skilled at working in the process. I will represent the participatingcitieswell. Support for the service is on a stibscr'iption basis. Subscriptionfeesvarydependingonthecity's rise of the wastewater system,ranging from a low of $1250 to a high of $5850. Compare thesemodestamountstothechargesyounowpaytotheMWCC. Enclosed are a list of questions and answers and an agreementtoestablishthecityasaparticipatingmember. The agreementalsosetsforththeamountofthecity's annual investment as aparticipatingcity. I look forward to this opportunity of service to make your cityandothersmoreeffectiveinthemetropolitanarea. I will be pleased to meet with you at any time to discuss the proposal. incer ly, i ~- igene E. Franchett Enc. EEF.tm QIIESTIONS AND ANSWERS What is Metro Relations Inc.? Metro Relations Inc, is a corporation established on behalf of cities to monitor closely the activities of the MetropolitanWasteControlCommission (MWCC), to analyze MWCC issues and to advocate the interests of participating cities with the MWCC. Why is Metro Relations Inc. necessary? The cities in this metropolitan area now pay well over 100,000,000 each year to the Metropolitan Waste Control Commission, yet cities have no direct voice in how or at what cost service is to be provided. Metro Relations .Inc. will conduct ongoing analyses of MWCC issues on behalf of participating cities, will be present at all Commission deliberations, will communicate regularly on MWCC issues with participating cities, and will advocate the interests of participating cities when appropriate. Who decides what the Commission does? It is the Commission which decides what the Commission does, within the context of the broad policies laid down by the Metropolitan Council. Commissioners are appointed by the Metropolitan Council, which in turn is appointed by the Governor. The Chair of the MWCC is also appointed by the Governor. What will Metro Relations Inc. do for the participating cities? Metro Relations Inc. will: 1. Represent the participating cities at Commission and Committee meetings. 2.. Analyse key MWCC issues of importance to participating cities. 3. Analyze MWCC budgets and participate in the budget making process on behalf of the participating cities. 4. Advocate the interests of participating cities with the MWCC. 5. Report regularly to the participating cities on keyMWCCissues. 1 6. Alert participating cities when issues before theCommissionwarrantimmediateattentionandaction. Why is it necessary at this tiee to have cities represented withtheMWCC? The costs of wastewater treatment are going up at historicallyunprecedentedrates. Among other things, the MWCC nowcompensatessomeofitsemployeesatsalaries, wages and fringebenefitswhichfarexceedthoseofcities. Cities pay thesecoststhroughtheirratesandSACcharges. These costs have nowreachedalevelwhichwarrantsthatthecitieshaveastrong,informed, regular and consistent professional presence with theCommission, and keep themselves informed with ongoing analyses ofkeyMWCCissuessothatappropriateactioncanbetaken.
