Discussion: Page 6 of the report details items Council may want to consider if an Open System is used. Council Member Clark was a member of that Committee and recommended Council review and consider the report. City of Mounds View OPTIONS COMMITTEE REPORT FINAL REPORT - 2024 Background: The City of Mounds View began the process of exploring Organized Trash Collection in the spring of 2023. At the January 8, 2024 the Mounds View City Council adopted Resolution 9859 establishing an Options Committee and appointed Mounds View Residents Julie Clark, Blake Downes, Gerald Arel, and Gary Stevenson along with Council Member Gary Meehlhause, and Mayor Zach Lindstrom. Staff attending included City Administrator Nyle Zikmund, Finance Director Gayle Baumann, and Public Works Director Don Peterson. Meetings: January 17 2024—Overview provided by staff followed by discussion. January 24, 2024—Haulers input(Republic, Ace, Walters, Curbside)and Rachel Lindholm—City of Richfield January 31, 2024—General Discussion March 20, 2024—General Discussion March 27, 2024—General Discussion April 3, 2024- Finalize Report April 8, 2024—Sign final report Statutory Duties Detailed and actions taken Duty#1 - determine which methods of solid waste collection to examine, which must include: (i) the existing system of collection; The existing system of collection is an "open"system; that is—residents negotiate/purchase their refuse disposal with an approved/licensed contractor. The City has seven (7) licensed refuse haulers of which 5 provide residential services,Ace, Curbside, Republic, Walters, and Waste Management. (ii) a system in which a single collector collects solid waste from all sections of a city or town; and Sometimes referred to as single hauler organized. Blaine is an example. Walters services the entire city under a contract between the two entities. Implementing this option will require an RFP for a single collector and a city-wide contract. The committee should also evaluate whether to issue a single RFP for trash plus recycling, or separate RFP's for trash and recycling. Note—issuance of an RFP can only occur after City has taken formal action (adopting a resolution) terminating/ending negotiations. (iii) a system in which multiple collectors, either singly or as members of an organization of collectors, collect solid waste from different sections of a city or town; Often referred to as a consortium organized system. The City of Mounds View has been meeting with the 5 licensed haulers since October towards a contract that would apportion the city, based on current market share,for them to operate individually in a specified geographic area but cooperatively in the sense the entire city is then serviced. Richfield, St. Paul are two examples of Cities which have a Consortium model of organized solid waste collection. Richfield has 3 haulers and St. Paul has 15 haulers. Implementing this option will require either an agreement with the existing haulers, or an RFP 1 for one or more haulers. The committee should consider whether such an RFP should be split into two or more separate RFP's for different geographic areas. The committee should also evaluate whether to issue a single RFP for trash plus recycling, or separate RFP's for trash and recycling. Duty#2 - establish a list of criteria on which the solid waste collection methods selected for examination will be evaluated, which may include: (i) costs to residential subscribers, a. City/committee will compare current resident refuse bills to consortium contract prices of if no contract, RFP process prices. i. City has been collecting resident refuse bills since March 2023 b. City will conduct a literature review on studies relating to organized solid waste collection costs as compared to non-organized. i.

Summary findings—Refuse trucks have substantive impact on roads (v) initial and operating costs to the city of implementing the solid waste collection system, a. Initial costs include staff time for process and negotiations as well as legal costs related to implementation and contract. (vi) providing incentives for waste reduction, a. The contract can directly connect the amount of trash disposed of city-wide to the annual cost of collection. b. Pricing distribution can be adjusted to provide incentives to choose smaller cart sizes. c. Republic has stated they have data demonstrating greater success in reducing waste and increase of recycling in organized versus open system. (vii) impacts on solid waste collectors, a.

Haulers will achieve labor efficiencies with a contiguous route as well as reduced fuel consumption and wear and tear on vehicles. c. Haulers will no longer be able to stop services to customers who do not pay, however will be reimbursed for unpaid amounts by the City. d.

General Organized Collection Comments/Suggestions/Thoughts Consortium • Allows small haulers to keep their market share • Requires more staff time • If a consortium agreement is pursued, please require haulers to use County Roads to access their routes in order to reduce trucks on Mounds View Roads. • Reduce required reporting to quarterly or annually to minimize city staff time Single Hauler • Reduces trucks on all roads in Mounds View • Risk of service interruption - Putting all your eggs in one basket • Reduce staff time compared to consortium • Potential for lowest price overall • Potential drop off"pay by the bag" for low use customers • Preferred Recommendation of some members Open Market • Consider the majority of people who do not want organized collection.The city survey was confusing, but the comments at the end are clear. Over 2x more people voiced their opinion of not wanting organized collection as opposed to being in favor of it 5 Recommendations Regarding Existing Collections Review current hauler licensing process to see if some of the desired benefits can be achieved, over time,with licensing, code updates, and communication. • Consider limiting number of residential licensed haulers o Limiting licensed haulers could reduce number of trucks on the road in an open market o Setting a limit on hauler licenses would not allow opportunity for new small businesses to start in Mounds View o Limiting licenses would not guarantee reduced number of trucks in the near future • Update Solid Waste Management Standards document, last updated in 2019 o Document says to recycle, "aerosol cans; and other household scrap metal and pots, pans and silverware" but the city website says those are not recyclable items o Add - Require all haulers to use County Roads to access their routes in order to reduce trucks on Mounds View Roads. o Set minimum RDU percentage at some renewal point 3-5 years o Require regular reporting of RDUs served o Require or encourage annual posting of standard rate sheet • Increase communication to residents and businesses to encourage proper recycling, composting, and waste reduction overall - use infographics and pictures to communicate through: Solid Waste Page on the city website, mailers, and the Mounds View Matters newsletter(add a tip section into each newsletter) • Require yearly information mailer about waste reduction, recycling and use of app if available • Explore designated drop-off pay-by-the-bag or weight trash disposal for low waste producers • Update and enforce City Code o Code 50.006 131F "Price. Garbage collection service shall be priced on the basis of volume consistent with state law. All billings shall be itemized so as to show all individual charges and the garbage service level unit basis (such as, dollar per size of cart)." 0 50.006 BII "Education and information to customers.

Arrangements shall be made for customers to accommodate documented physical health concerns, including "back door" collection if needed." (non-negotiable) • Consider developing a dedicated task force for waste management and sustainability • Explore organized recycling • Encourage residents to support each other in obtaining equitable pricing • If organized collection does not move forward in 2024, do not revisit for 5 years unless required by law • If charter amendment does not pass, consider still putting the choice of organized collection on the ballot in November 2024 6 Recommendations Regarding Request for Proposal (RFP) • Issue a Request for Proposal (RFP)for Organized Collection o Request to include ■ Flexibility in single day of the week or multi-day pickup options ■ Basic service = 1 trash tote and 1 recycling tote per household ■ Add-on services and pricing • Yard waste and additional tote(s) • Additional trash tote(s) • Additional recycling tote(s) • Large and bulky items • Walk-up service ■ Option for bi-weekly low waste producing households, small tote every 2 weeks ■ Spring and Fall Cleanup Days ■ Senior and Veteran discounts ■ Seasonal service ■ Yearly communication mailer o Suggest length of contract to be 5 years or less o Require Price stability—Limit any escalator increases to_%or index to inflation o Be open to bids with and without vendor provided customer service and billing o Be open to consortium bids o Optional ■ Dedicated local service number ■ Include 4-plex units in bid ■ Offer an opt-out option o Priority Considerations ■ Price ■ Service ■ Price Stability ■ Availability of add-on services and pricing ■ Communication ■ Staff Impact ■ Waste Reduction • Host a community engagement event to review proposals 7 2024 Organized Trash Options Committee Report Signature Page —April 8, 2024 Julie Clark—Community Member Blake Downes—Community Member Gerald Arel —Community Member Gary Stevenson—Community Member Mayor Zach Lindstrom—Council Member Council Member Gary Meehlhause—Council Member City Administrator Nyle Zikmund—Staff Liaison 8 THIS PAGE LEFT BLANK INTENTIONALLY Item No. 04 MOUNDS VIEW Meeting Date: February 3. 2025 Type of Business: WS Administrator Review: City of Mounds View Staff Report To: Honorable Mayor and City Council From: Nyle Zikmund, City Administrator Item Title/Subject: Periodic City Code Update — Review of Proposed Ordinances Introduction: Staff keeps a running list of proposed updates needed to the Mounds View City Code.

Council will have a resolution on their February 10, 2025 meeting for authorization to pay restoration and painting invoice. Additional funds needed for installation. Staff was also directed to seek grants of which a grant to Twin City Gateway has been submitted. That grant requested an "Event Name." The grant is specific to funding "marketing/advertising" of the event with a match required (but that does not have to be for the marketing, rather can be for the event). The grant is a maximum $5,000. Our "investment" in the restoration will far exceed that. Action Requested: Come up with an "Event Name" that we can start marketing.
