III. STAFF REPORT
A. Household Hazardous Waste Collection Update
Dakota County recycling staff have informed us that they are
currently working on a management plan for the County's hazardous
materials. County staff will also be going to the County Board of
Commissioners with a summary of the County's requirements for
handling these materials under the SCORE legislation. Local staff
will be reviewing these reports at our May staff meeting.
In addition, the City of Rosemount has a collection day scheduled
for June 2, 1990. The City's of Burnsville and Apple Valley will
be co- sponsoring a collection day sometime this summer.
1. Please see BioCycle article on page$ 7— / regarding Dakota
County HHW collections.
B. Compost Site Operations Update
During a meeting of the Physical Development Board Committee on
Tuesday, February 27, the committee passed 2 to 1 a resolution
promoting the Eagan Municipal site as an additional County yard
waste transfer site. The resolution stated [the most feasible
alternative evaluated includes the development of a private site
by R.D. Pecar and Co., Inc., together with a transfer site at the
existing Eagan yard waste composting site.]
After this action we met with County staff again and have outlined
operation requirements and administrative details. Our main
concerns during the next 30 days include:
1. Full County Board approval
2. Contractual arrangements (lease agreement) with Dakota County
and /or R.D. Pecar Co., Inc.
3. Compensation levels
4. Removal of existing grass and leaves
5. Site development
For your information:
1. The County Board of Commissioners has passed the new fee
schedule for yard waste disposal in 1990. Please see Old
Business in your February 6, 1990 Solid Waste Abatement
Commission packet.
2. The Full Board of Commissioners will vote on the recommended
resolution for yard waste facilities at its regular Board
meeting of March 13, 1990.
C. 1989 Expenditures Report /1990 -91 Funding
As noted at our last meeting, City staff submitted the 1989
monitoring form to the County which included an expenditures
report. See page (O for the expenditures report. An overview
of the report will be given at our March 13 meeting.

IV. OLD BUSINESS
V. NEW BUSINESS
A. Multi -Unit Recycling
- Options for City involvement, Eagan Green Apartments
After the discussion with Commission members and staff evaluation,
the following options have been formulated.
1. Pilot project with Eagan Green Apartments. City provided
containers (72) one for each unit in one of the two buildings.
Additional information and monitoring will be needed. If the
containers serve as a tool to increase participation and
tonnage levels, Eagan Green will purchase an additional 72
containers from the City for the second building. The City
owned containers cost $5.00 each. Dv 0--1.4, .?1 k'.. .
J
2. Encourage inventive solutions to M -U program. Allow
individual management companies and haulers to initiate
additional features to the program.
Encourage residents to modify /develop their own convenient
system.
2.a. In some cases a specialized container may be "the" item to
increase participation. There are different models on the
market that may work better than our stackable. As each
complex is different in character, the system will need
evaluation and that is where we can encourage the hauler to
use the .50 /unit funding if the management and hauler deem an
additional system is necessary.
Many cities around the metro area have begun M -U programs. Some
cities have conducted pilot programs similar to the one proposed.
Most found that individual containers do not play a part in overall
program organization. While attending a seminar on M -U recyling,
in home containers were not discussed as a tool for successful
programs. Educational and frequent information to residents is
viewed as the most important aspect of a successful program.
As originally expressed, city staff feel our role in M -U recycling
will be to help organize convenient collection systems working with
the management companies and the hauler. But our primary role is
to formulate and distribute informational materials to residents.
Continuing contact with the building and monitoring of the program
activities will also be a part of our involvement.
B. Commission Goals for 1990
As we move into the second year of the Recycling program we have
new goals and priorities for managing a successful program. In
addition to the expansion into multi -unit dwellings as a major
funding requirement, the abatement goal for this year has increased
to 12 %. Moving into the multi -units will be a necessary activity
to meet tile oal but there are also other initiatives we must take.
On page ( you will find a copy of the Program Work Plan for the
year that is a guide for activities for 1990.

MINUTES OF THE
SOUD WASTE ABATEMENT COMMISSION MEETING
FEBRUARY 13, 1990
A regular meeting of the Eagan Solid Waste Abatement Commission was held on
Tuesday, February 13, 1990 at 11:30 am. Present were Tim Hoel, Todd Gatz, Earl Milbridge, Darlene
Bahr, Cindy Ista, Tom Molene and Terry Schnell. Absent were Larry Knutson, Tom Mann and Brenda
Marshall. Also present were Recycling Coordinator Hageman, Assistant to the City Administrator
Hohenstein and representatives of the public and haulers.
ADOPTION OF AGENDA
Discussion was had conceming the recent action by the City Council conceming the
Dakota County Resource Recovery facility. Upon motion by Bahr, seconded by Schnell, all members
voting in favor, the Dakota County incinerator was added as the fourth item under the staff report.
Upon motion by Schnell, seconded by Ista, all members voting in favor, the old business items were
combined because of their relationship to one another. Upon motion by Ista, seconded by Schnell, all
members voting in favor, the agenda was adopted as amended.
MINUTES
Upon motion by Schnell, seconded by Ista, all members voting in favor, all minutes were
approved as presented.
1990 PERFORMANCE FUNDING
Hageman reported that the City Council had approved the Commission recommendation
for the 1990 funding levels at $30 per ton of targeted recyclables and $.50 per multi - family unit in which
the City's containers are not used. She indicated that in mutti-family complexes where the containers
are used the additional $.50 per unit would not be provided.
MULTI- FAMILY RECYCUNG UPDATE
Hageman reported that 300 additional mufti - family units have been added since the last
meeting bringing the total number of units served to approximately 1200. This compares to
approximately 4800 units currently in the City. She also stated that Knutson Rubbish had proposed
a concept in which one container per unit would be distributed at Eagan Green Apartments to facilitate
residents' use of the centralized containers. Hohenstein pointed out the original philosophy behind the
$.50 per unit would be that it would help offset haulers costs for specialized and centralized container
systems. It had not been anticipated that any complexes would want to use both. Bahr pointed out
that many mutti-family residents are seniors that may have difficulty managing loose materials. Hoel
asked if the containers were most appropriate for seniors because of their size, weight and ability to
be stored. Bahr suggested that staff explore the options both in terms of type of container and cost
coverage. She stated that it could be treated as a pilot project to determine its value for other
complexes. Floyd Hiar expressed concerned about the expectations from such a pilot project and
indicated that adequate data is probably available from other locations on containers and multi- family
units. The Commission's consensus was that staff should identify options and bring them back to the
Commission for future consideration.
SOUD WASTE ANNUAL REPORT
Hageman reported that the City had documented 1,947 tons of recyclables removed
from the waste stream in 1989. In addition, approximately 5,000 cubic yards of yard waste was
removed. Commission members asked staff to check the monthly average listed on the report for
compliance with the total numbers.
DAKOTA COUNTY RESOURCE RECOVERY FACILITY RESOLUTION
Hohenstein provided background to the Commission indicating that the City Council had
raised this issue at their meeting of February 6 and the staff had been directed to prepare a resolution
in time for a public hearing on the facility on February 12. This had prevented the issue from coming
back to the Commission at that time. Hageman described the presentation at the public hearing and
distributed copies of the draft resolution. Hoel expressed concern that the tendency in mass bum
facilities was to minimize preprocessing separation. Hohenstein indicated that the Council resolution
pointed to centralized separation as being necessary regardless of the processing technology chosen.
Other Commission members discussed the general thrust of the resolution in relation to previously
stated City policy. Staff indicated that the resolution dealt with only those issues the Council had
directed be dealt with and that it would be beyond the abilities of existing staff to completely dissect
the draft DEIS from a technical standpoint.
Upon motion by Bahr, seconded by Ista, all members voting in favor, the Commission
endorsed the draft resolution as prepared by staff at the direction of the City Council and indicated the
desire to encourage even more strongy the concept of centralized separation as a compliment to
source separation.
CITY /COUNTY COMPOST ALTERNATIVES
Hageman introduced the concept of using the City's existing compost site as a transfer
station for County yard waste. Hohenstein explained how the County would run the site and it would
continue to be available to residents and lawn services but that all compostable materials would be
transferred from the site to the County's Lakeville facility. He also indicated that the County would
implement its standard fee schedule for the site and that the site would be run by the County's
contractor, R.D. Pecar. After further discussion, seconded by Schnell, all members voting in favor, the
Commission recommended that the City Council contract with Dakota County to make the current
compost site into a transfer station at rates consistent with County policy and that funds be made
available for this program up to the current allocation for yard waste in the solid waste budget.
EARTH DAY ACTIVITIES
Hageman outlined the Earth Day activities currently contemplated by the City. They
include an official declaration of April 22, 1990 as Earth Day, a celebration of the first year of the
recycling program, the second annual Community Clean -up Day on Saturday, April 28, a back yard
composting seminar and various activities including children's park programs, a nature walk and the
City's Arbor Day celebration.
FUTURE AGENDAS
The Commission requested that an update on household hazardous waste programs
be provided to a future meeting. In particular, the Commission was interested in progress on the
County's monthly drop -off site and the flashlight battery pilot projects. They also requested agenda
items on state -of- the -art plastics recycling and a financial report for 1989 and 1990.
ADJOURNMENT

DAKOTA COUNTY
COMMUNITY LANDFILL ABATEMENT PROGRAM GUIDELINES
•
1990
Dakota County landfill abatement funding is available to communities in Dakota
County. All applications and revisions to those applications which would
result in increased costs will require final County Board approval. A
community ,requesting funding must demonstrate that a recycling program is
currently in operation in its municipal buildings and that the targeted
community program outlined in the Dakota County Recycling Implementation
Strategy, is maintained.
Dakota County Board Resolution No. 88 -651 states that the County's portion of
funding of recycling implementation and operating costs incurred by cities and
townships will be through performance -based funding. It further states that
the County's source of long term funding for recycling programs is to be from
a combination of sources with priority being: 1) Landfill Surcharge Fee; and
2) Resource Recovery Facility tipping fee. Consideration is also to be given
to a recycling assessment as part of a future source of funding.
The County will accept the responsibility for community recycling programs and
will assess the residents of the community for costs incurred (including the
County's administrative, monitoring, and public education costs) in the event
that a community does not maintain the level of service outlined in the Dakota
County Recycling Implementation Strategy.
ELIGIBLE PROJECTS
Projects that are eligible for funding must be consistent with the approved
Dakota County Solid Waste Master Plan, as amended. To obtain a copy of the
Plan please contact the Dakota County Department of Planning and Program
