ENVIRONMENTAL BOARD MEETING June 20, 2012 <br />DRAFT MINUTES 3 <br />Ms. Ulbricht stated she envisioned an intern helping making calls with a list of <br />businesses from the City. The intern would then make contacts and find out who <br />is recycling, who isn’t recycling and why not, and leave them with the carrots as <br />to why they should be recycling and offer site visits. She is not sure if the recycle <br />grant would cover prizes, t-shirts, etc. <br /> <br />Ms. Ulbrecht stated a part of what we can do with current recycling is to get basic <br />data and work forward with the goals. <br /> <br />Ms. O’Dea stated we need a motion to recommend that Mr. Asleson apply for the <br />grant and forward it onto the City Council. <br /> <br />Ms. DeHaven made a motion to apply for the grant and forward on to the City <br />Council. Ms. Bor seconded the Motion. Motion carried unanimously. <br /> <br />6. DISCUSSION ITEM <br /> <br />A. Commercial/Industrial/Business Recycling Discussion. Special Guest <br />Jim Kordiak, Anoka County Commissioner and Amy Ulbricht, Anoka <br />County Integrated Waste Management. <br /> <br />Mr. Asleson presented his staff report. He stated the Lino Lakes Environmental <br />Board is responsible for overseeing the Residential Solid Waste and Recycling <br />Program. The board established a new recycling goal for 2012. The goal is to <br />investigate the expansion of recycling efforts with particular attention to <br />commercial, industrial and small business. <br /> <br />The board would like to address means to communicate with Lino Lakes <br />businesses on recycling. Staff is looking for direction on the next step to increase <br />business recycling goals. <br /> <br />Mr. Jim Kordiak, Anoka County Commissioner, stated he meets with Anoka <br />County Solid Waste Advisory Committee once monthly to talk about what the <br />County can do to meet recycle goals and objectives. He stated every goal needs a <br />champion. As a commissioner, an area he has spent a good deal of time on is <br />garbage and recycling. He appreciates what the City is trying to do in expanding <br />recycling. He stated two areas that fall short are businesses and apartment <br />buildings. There are endless ways to go about this such as recycling aluminum <br />cans, glass bottles, batteries, ink cartridges, etc. He stated we could make a list of <br />all the things that could be done. He thinks that a key component is to find out <br />what businesses want to do and what they do now and to talk to individual <br />businesses. He stated Wastewise is a non-profit company who would work with <br />the City. We could possibly be able to use a grant to do this. Wastewise will step <br />into a company and let them know what they are doing and where they should be. <br />Mr. Kordiak stated the reason he is present today is to learn what the Board’s
