Present were Gwen Hillesheim, Clint Hooppaw, Patricia Hurd, Linda Merkel, Rick Patraw, Tom PetriIli, Mike Stone and John Tapper. Absent from the meeting were Gary Hansen and Jim Weinzettel. Also present was Recycling Coordinator Bast. APPROVAL OF MINUTES Chair Patraw noted a change to the minutes of the June 29, 2000 meeting. On page 2, under Old Business, Education Sub - Committee, line 6, Patraw requested that "He questioned whether the City..." be changed to "He inquired whether the City..." The minutes of the June 29, 2000 meeting were approved unanimously as modified by acclamation of the Commission. INFORMATIVE A. June 7 -8 Superstorm Update Patraw referred the Commission to the storm update included in their packets. The Commission agreed to table the item to the September meeting when Communications Coordinator Foote would be present to present any further information regarding the storm. Patraw asked Bast to provide an update on Clean -Up Day. Bast stated that due to the huge clean -up effort following the storm, Eagan may no longer be interested in participating in Clean -Up Day. She had been in contact with Duffy and Foote and Duffy agreed to research the need for Eagan's involvement in the event and report back to Bast. Hooppaw felt that the City's debris removal efforts did not address Clean -Up Day. Hurd commented that a large amount of debris still needs to be removed from some areas in Eagan. Bast will relay this information to Duffy. Bast further noted that Burnsville has scheduled the Clean -Up Day for October 14. They are targeting hazardous waste and large items for disposal. B. Update Regarding Community Center Process Chair Patraw expressed an interest in the Commission becoming involved with the Community Center process to provide their input regarding a "green building" approach to the project. He stated that he had recently visited a "green building" in Minneapolis and noted how impressed he was with the building. He stated that the building was a finalist for the Governor's Award, noting that this is a good example that an environmental approach can work. He elaborated on various facts regarding the building and noted that he would like to see this concept introduced in the community center process. Bast noted that, along with Foote, she would be meeting with the architect for the project. There was uncertainty whether an architect had been hired yet. Patraw stated that he would like to see the Commission become involved early in the process in order to introduce environmental issues at the onset. Tapper stated that he feels a space within the Community Center dedicated to environmental education would be appropriate. The Commission proceeded to discuss the focus groups being formed by the City to discuss the Community Center. Patraw asked if the Commission could become one of the focus groups. Hurd inquired about the purpose for the focus groups and noted it may be more beneficial for members of the Commission to join a group instead of being a separate group. Bast noted that other counties and cities are moving toward a "green building" concept and the purpose of the upcoming meeting with the architect is to introduce some environmental issues into the project. There was brief discussion regarding the City's process for hiring an architect. Patraw suggested forwarding a letter to the City Council expressing the Commission's interest in becoming involved in the Community Center project. Tapper Solid Waste Abatement Commission Meeting Minutes Page 2 /August 17, 2000 noted that involvement in this project meets the Mission of the Commission and felt that the Commission could encourage and promote the use of recycled materials. The Commission requested that Bast investigate opportunities for involvement on their behalf. Hillesheim made a motion to authorize Patraw to draft a letter to the appropriate City authorities indicating the Commission's interest in becoming involved in the Community Center process and that the letter be forwarded to the Commission members, Foote and Bast for review. Tapper seconded with all members voting in favor. Hurd requested that this item be placed on the September agenda and that Bast provide an update along with information on "green buildings." She further asked for timelines for both the project and the focus groups. Patraw commented on the need for "green criteria" early in the process. Hillesheim suggested that he include that in the letter. It was noted that the cost could be higher for a "green building "; however, other government entities are successfully building environmental models. Bast reiterated the Commission's requests as follows: information regarding "green buildings ", a timeline for the Community Center process and the focus groups, clarification of the focus groups and placing this item on the Commission's September agenda. NEW BUSINESS A. Update & Discussion regarding A.R.R.O.W Program Patraw introduced this item and Bast began her update by giving brief background information. She stated that the Cities of Apple Valley, Burnsville and Eagan are jointly participating in the program with the aid of an innovation grant from Dakota County and that many discussions have taken place among these entities regarding the program. The purpose of the program is to reward businesses for their environmental efforts. She further noted that when the program was initiated, the Commission had agreed to keep it simple for businesses to apply in order to encourage participation. Bast distributed the A.R.R.O.W. brochure, which explains the program with a section included where businesses can apply. She explained the process involved, noting that applications are forwarded to the County for their review before window stickers and certificates are awarded. She further noted that when the program began, it was slated for evaluation by the County after three years to determine whether or not County -wide participation should be considered. In the two years since its conception, there has not been a great deal of growth, according to Bast. She stated that last year, nearly all businesses in Burnsville were called and surveyed. However, the response was minimal. Bast stated that if she hires an intern, she may conduct door -to -door visits to area businesses to introduce the program. Tapper felt that targeting smaller businesses could prove more successful. Discussion followed with suggestions from the Commission and staff on ways to encourage participation. Bast suggested inviting participating businesses to a breakfast meeting with a speaker on recycling along with booths from various businesses targeting recycling. Other suggestions included Bast presenting the program before a Rotary or Chamber of Commerce meeting. Hooppaw noted that he could arrange for Bast to be a speaker at an Apple Valley Rotary meeting. Bast distributed an article and list of participating businesses that was in the SunCurrent, Burnsville Chamber Newsletter and the Burnsville Newsletter. There were suggestions regarding placing the article in the Dakota County Tribune, Eagan Chamber Newsletter and Eagan Business Newsletter, along with listing the businesses under their respective cities. Hillesheim suggested a business card page being placed in the newspaper providing advertising for participating businesses. She also asked if the Commission could print an insert for the Eagan and Burnsville newspapers and newsletters with congratulations on one side and the business cards on the other side. Bast will check on the cost. Stone questioned whether the application process is too easy and may appear to be insignificant to businesses. He suggested adding some requirements and building some incentives into the program. Bast stated that showing preferential treatment to one business over another could become a controversial issue. However, awards to individual businesses by the Commission could be considered. There was a question whether approval of such a practice would be required by the City 5 Solid Waste Abatement Commission Meeting Minutes Page 3 /August 17, 2000 Council. Hillesheim stated that keeping the focus on incentives, quality, free marketing and savings should encourage businesses to apply. Patraw suggested advertising at City Council meetings, on cable TV and on the City's web site. Writing a feature article in a newspaper on one participating business each month was also suggested. In answer to a question regarding the program's visibility, Bast noted that both she and Foote had mailed brochures to all their respective cities' businesses last year and she had followed up with phone contact. Hillesheim suggested having an intern contact the participating businesses for their input. In conclusion, Bast stated that she would initiate some of the Commission's suggestions to determine their viability. She suggested allowing a couple of months before evaluating the recommendations. Hurd suggested displaying the brochure and article at next month's televised meeting. Patraw requested that Bast give a description of the A.R.R.O.W Program and identify the participating businesses at the meeting. OLD BUSINESS A. Sub - Committee Updates 1. Evaluation Sub - Committee Merkel presented an update of the Evaluation Sub - Committee's August 16 meeting. Recycling Coordinator Bast was in attendance. Items discussed were the hauler survey which was set for January and the homeowners survey scheduled to be inserted in the Eagan Newsletter this fall. The Committee focused on the homeowners survey. Bast distributed a copy of questions for the survey regarding neighborhood organization that will be placed on a return addressed, stamped card and inserted in the newsletter. She stated that an accompanying article providing information on neighborhood organization will be included in the newsletter. Hillesheim noted that the purpose for conducting the survey is to gather and provide information and to promote neighborhood organization. She further stated that a similar survey could be conducted next year for comparison with the possibility of having a yearly survey, depending upon response. Patraw noted that in his meeting with the City Council earlier in the year, there was an interest in promoting neighborhood organization among the members. He suggested that the information be evaluated and provided to the City Council. Hurd suggested making the cards and article available at the Council meetings and also including a return date on the survey. There was brief discussion regarding the design of the survey. The Commission continued to discuss the survey and the promotion of neighborhood organization. Bast noted that she had attended various neighborhood information meetings in Burnsville where she was able to promote neighborhood organization. Hillesheim suggested putting the survey on cable TV and the City's web site after it is mailed out in September. Bast briefly reported on her work in the area of promoting neighborhood collection, noting the interest and success she has experienced in Burnsville. Hillesheim asked that "building community" be added to question #2 on the survey. Bast distributed a draft copy of the Recycling & Disposal Guide for Burnsville & Eagan. She asked Commissioners to review the guide and contact her with any changes. The guide will be mailed to residents in September. Chair Patraw noted that the following items would be included on next month's agenda: City Procurement; Neighborhood Organization Study; Green Buildings; A.A.R.O.W Program; and Sub - Committee Reports. It was also noted that the September 21 meeting would be televised. ADJOURNMENT Merkel moved to adjourn the meeting at 7:00 p.m. Petrilli seconded with all members present voting in favor.

'5 RECYCLING BASICS For new employees Here at the City of Eagan, we pride ourselves on our recycling habits. You will find at each desk, there is a large container for paper recycling and a smaller container for garbage. The paper that we can recycle here includes white paper, colored paper, mixed mail, catalogues, and magazines. Even spiral notebooks can be recycled without removing the metal wire. And, windows do not need to be removed from envelopes. When your paper recycling container is full, it can be emptied into the large container in the copy room or other designated area. Other items that are recycled here include: batteries, aluminum beverage cans, newspapers, corrugated cardboard, and phone books. The recycling containers for these items are located throughout the building. Check envelopes can also be reused each payday if you put them in the upstairs municipal copy room. Other ideas for reducing waste include using both sides of the paper, cutting unwanted paper into scraps for notes or phone messages, using e-mail for correspondence, and reusing office supplies such as envelopes and binders. There is a box of pens, pencils, highlighters, and markers in the copyroom for reuse. You can drop off unwanted, usable items here or pick up items you need. If you have any questions, comments, or suggestions for our recycling program, please contact Joanna Foote, Communications/Recycling Coordinator at ext. 406. • llo r * 00 CO * • • x • • * CO r 'O f C)07 - C) C)00 07CO - ,-i C0 W 00 0CaCO000 -1 CO OA d c O v v 00 - 1 - 1 - � Jam, - i -3-j - - -i-1 -3 „ —1 o •< .0 v, w w -0 -0 v, to to A A J J J J J -.1 J J 'D LA It O O C ' w N N N N w w w N N A A A A A A A A J 'D Fr O O J as as 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 J y a J J .1,..

Derive at least 10 percent of building materials from salvaged sources and at least 25 percent from recycled sources. There was also a focus on a healthy indoor work environment including indoor air quality and daylighting. Geo- Exchange Heat Pump System. The 22,000 square -foot office portion of the building has no furnace. The area is heated and cooled with a geo- exchange system consisting of 120 60 -foot deep wells. A continuous, closed loop of piping filled with water and food -grade antifreeze runs through the wells. The ground remains at a fairly constant temperature of about 40 degrees year - round. In the winter, the geo- exchange system extracts heat from the ground and transfers the energy to 18 heat pumps that heat the air up to 100 degrees. In the summer, heat is extracted from the building and sent back into the ground that acts as a heat sink. An additional heat pump is used to heat all of the hot water in the office building. Vendors: FHP Manufacturing, Fort Lauderdale, FL (heat pumps); Bergerson - Caswell, Maple Plain, MN (geo - thermal wells); and NS/I Mechanical Contracting, St. Paul, MN (HVAC and plumbing). Solar Tracking Skylights. The manufacturing portion of the building features 48 solar - tracking skylights. Each insulated skylight has a series of mirrors mounted on a tripod above it. A photocell allows the mirrors to track the sun throughout the day. The photocells detect the direction of the sunlight and the mirrors move once an hour to follow the sun across the sky. This active solar - tracking system of mirrors allows the skylights to bring in as much as 10 times more light than a traditional skylight. This daylighting strategy is estimated to reduce the building's energy load by 43,000 kilowatt hours annually and improves employee productivity by maximizing access to natural daylight. The building also has exterior and interior sidelights that allow sunlight to enter work spaces. Vendors: So- Luminaire Daylighting Systems, Los Angeles, CA (skylights) and 3M, St. Paul, MN (reflective film for skylight mirrors). Energy Management System. A computerized energy management system with continuous monitoring and integrated occupancy sensors has been installed throughout the building to maximize the efficiency of lighting, heating, ventilation and air conditioning. The system monitors temperature, carbon dioxide and carbon monoxide levels and uses that information to control the HVAC systems. In doing so, the energy management system maintains an optimum working environment while minimizing energy use. Vendor: Impact Energy Controls Corporation, Minneapolis, MN (a tenant in the PEEC). Energy Recovery Ventilator. The heating and cooling system in the building includes an air -to -air heat exchanger. This unit uses the temperature of air being exhausted to the outside to warm or cool fresh air being pulled into the building, reducing the load on • 1 heating and cooling systems. During normal operation, the energy recovery ventilator can transfer 70 percent of the energy from the exhausting air to the incoming air. Vendor: Mitsubishi Electric Air -Tech America Inc., Madison, WI. High- Efficiency Lighting Systems. The building's high- efficiency lighting system includes efficient T -8 fluorescent and metal halide light fixtures. The system also includes integrated occupancy and daylight sensors. Sensors monitor daylight and occupancy to switch lights on and off as needed. Vendor: Industrial Electric, Minneapolis, MN. Design for Disassembly and Adaptive ReUse. Spaces within the building were designed for maximum adaptability in the future. For example, a stair tower was designed so it can be taken apart, moved and reassembled. High -bay manufacturing space can be built out in the future as two floors of office space. Construction Site Recycling. Up front planning and aggressive work with subcontractors resulted in over 78 percent of demolition and construction generated waste, by weight, being recycled or reused. Operable Windows. All windows in work areas throughout the building have glazing to reduce solar gain and are operable. The windowsills are made of Environ® biocomposite, a composite material that comes from soybeans and recycled newspaper. Vendors: Tru -Therm Aluminum, Plymouth, MN (windows) and Phenix Biocomposites, Mankato, MN (windowsills). Burnished Block. The exposed concrete blocks used in construction were polished to create a finished interior appearance that eliminated the need to install drywall over the block. Decreasing the amount of drywall saves energy and water used in its manufacture. The production of just one square foot of gypsum drywall requires 2,600 BTUs of energy. Vendor: Ochs Brick. Laminated Wood Beams. The lobby area in the office portion of the building features an engineered, glue - laminated wood beam infrastructure and finished ceiling. In contrast with steel, the wood construction adds an aesthetic element and reduces the building's "embodied energy" — or total energy consumed to manufacture and install the structure's components. Vendor: Structural Wood Corporation, St. Paul, MN. Elimination of Dropped Ceilings. High, exposed ceilings were painted white, eliminating the need to install 26,000 square feet of materials for dropped ceilings. One pound of aluminum for a ceiling suspension system requires 103,500 BTUs of energy to manufacture. Reused Steel Joists. Steel roof joists salvaged from a 1960s warehouse in Washington County, MN were reused in the manufacturing portion of the building. Reusing these 2 1 ' 189 steel joists saved about 50 tons of new steel and 110 million BTUs of energy needed to manufacture the steel. Green Roof. A 4,000 square foot section of the building roof is covered with a monolithic membrane, root barrier, insulation, waffleboard, pea rock, filter fabric and eight inches of soil. It is planted with short- rooted vegetation that is native to Minnesota river bluff areas. This roof garden replaces some of the green space that was eliminated by the building footprint. It also helps to retain stormwater and increases the insulation value of the roof. The roof garden includes a deck and seating area and is accessible to employees and visitors to the building. Vendor: American Hydrotech, Chicago, IL. Floor Coverings. Lobby areas and hallways are covered with linoleum made from linseed oil that is degradable and easily maintained with water and mild soap. Some tenant areas feature reused carpet from a commercial remodeling project. Other floors were covered with Solenium, a product that is designed to be 100 percent recyclable after its use and that uses 60 percent fewer materials than traditional carpet in its manufacturing process. Vendors: Interface Corporation (carpet); Forbo (linoleum); and Re:Source MN (installation). Pre -Cast Concrete Panels. Pre -cast concrete panels in the manufacturing area have a pigment embedded in them that eliminates the need for painting, saving about 80 gallons of paint. Ten percent of the aggregate in the structural portion of the concrete panels was replaced with fly ash, saving 53 cubic yards of aggregate. Vendor: Fabcon, Inc. Parking Lot Blacktopping. About 50 percent of the material used to surface parking lots came from recycled sources. Vendor: Northwest Bituminous, Burnsville, MN. Recycled Content Tiles. All four of the building's restrooms feature ceramic tiles made from 100 percent recycled glass. Bathroom Showers. Showers were installed in the restrooms to encourage bicycle commuting. The Midtown Greenway, a new east -west bicycle highway, and the Hiawatha light rail transit corridor, including a north -south bike trail, are both immediately adjacent to the building. Reused Materials. About 22,000 100 - year -old bricks were reused in construction. Six of the building's restroom sinks, fire extinguisher boxes in the manufacturing area, and cabinets in the vending room were salvaged from demolition sites. Shower benches and outside decks were constructed of redwood salvaged from residential demolition projects. The Green Institute's offices include salvaged doors and windows, as well as remanufactured workstations. 3 Vendors: DeConstruction Services (sinks, fire extinguisher boxes, cabinets, redwood, doors, and windows) and Workplace 2000 (workstations) Stairs and Stair Treads. To save energy, the building features a prominent stairway in the entrance lobby to encourage use of the stairs rather than the elevator. The stair treads were re- milled from 75 -year -old Douglas Fir beams that were salvaged from an U.S. Army warehouse, saving 804 board feet of virgin timber. Vendor: Minnesota Timber Salvage Landscaping. Landscaping around the building includes restoration of a 60,000 square foot wet -dry native prairie and wildlife habitat. Prairie grasses and wildflowers are part of this "xeriscaping " - -- landscaping that does not require additional watering. Eliminating the need for additional watering will save an estimated 560,000 gallons of water per year. In addition, native prairie landscaping requires no fertilizers and very little maintenance. Trees are planted in the parking lot area to reduce heat islands, create habitat, and absorb carbon dioxide. Vendor: Applied Ecology, Minneapolis, MN. Low - Emission Paints and Finishes. No- emission or low- emission paints, finishes and adhesives were used throughout the building. These products greatly reduce the off gassing of volatile organic compounds (VOCs) that are often the source of "sick building syndrome ". Vendors: Valspar Corporation, Minneapolis, MN and Sherwin Williams. On -Site Stormwater Management. All of the four -acre site's stormwater is held and treated on -site with a restored wetland and enhanced bio- filtration system that filters oil and sediment from the water. This system will prevent 1.5 million gallons of runoff from entering the municipal stormwater system each year.
