WHEREAS, pursuant to Hennepin County Board of Commissioners Resolution 90-11-

requires the following:
1. Within twelve months, subsequent to the effective date of this policy, the City
• Manager or his/her designee of the City of St. Anthony conduct a review of
existing construction or remodeling projects and service specifications to
determine whether such specifications promote or exclude the use of recycled
products, reusable products, or products designed to be recycled, for use by
department agencies, offices, boards, and commissions.
2. In the event that such specifications prohibit or otherwise exclude the use of
recycled products,such exclusions or requirements should be eliminated unless
the operating department or entity can reasonably demonstrate that the
recycled product would be impractical, is unproven, or would not achieve
necessary performance or design standards.
3. Within the same 12 month period, all City departments and agencies must
make recommendations to the City Manager or his/her designee to ensure
that performance standards and specifications for products used in
construction or remodeling of municipal facilities do not prohibit the use of
products with recycled content. Departments are to initiate or recommend
policy changes to ensure that specifications incorporate a requirement which
promotes use of materials and products with recycled content wherever
practical and appropriate, or they must reasonably demonstrate that either the
performance requirements of the product will be compromised or that a
product with recycled content is impractical or will otherwise negatively impact
• health, safety or operational efficiency.
• 4. Contractors bidding to provide products or services to the City, must meet the
intent of requirements described in Paragraph 3.
5. The City will cooperate with neighboring City, County, and State governments
in an effort to develop consistent, and effective procurement efforts which
promote the use of recycled products in construction materials wherever
practical and appropriate.
6. All related City departments and agencies will work cooperatively to further
the purposes of the Resolution. The City's economic development process will
incorporate the "goal" of promoting the use of recycled material.
7. The City Manager or his/her designee shall submit an Annual Report, to be
filed with the City Clerk, with a copy to the Clerk of the Hennepin County
Board, which overviews the use of construction materials recycled content
