MINUTES FOR THE SOLID WASTE ABATEMENT COMMISSION
Eagan, Minnesota
June 13, 1989
A regular meeting of the Eagan Solid Waste Abatement Commission was
held on Tuesday, June 13, 1989 at 11:30 a.m. at the Eagan Municipal Center. The
following members were present: Cindy Ista, Todd Gatz, Brenda Marshall, Larry
Knutson, Kevin Tritz and Terry Schnell. Absent were Tom Mann, Tim Hoel, Earl
Milbridge and Darlene Bahr. Also present were Recycling Specialist Kris Hageman,
Assistant to the City Administrator Jon Hohenstein and Dakota County Recycling
Planner Mike Trdan.
AGENDA
Upon motion by Ista, seconded by Gatz, all members voting in favor,
the agenda for the June 13, 1989 meeting was approved as presented.
MINUTES
Hohenstein stated that the Commission did not have a quorum for its
meeting of May 9, 1989 but that notes had been prepared on that meeting for
historical purposes. He stated that no action had been taken at that meeting and
therefore the minutes of the April 11, 1989 meeting were appropriate for
consideration. Upon motion by Knutson, seconded by Ista, all members voting in
favor, the minutes of the April 11, 1989 Eagan Solid Waste Abatement Commission
meeting were approved as presented.
AMENDMENT TO 1989 DAKOTA COUNTY FUNDING APPLICATION
Hageman introduced the item and explained that an amendment was being
pursued to purchase a piece of capital equipment, namely a stump chipper to be
used by the Parks Department to reduce tree stumps to wood mulch rather than
landfilling stump material and the additional funds for performance payments to
haulers such that the money available for such payments not exceed $50,000.
By way of clarification, the Commission indicated that it had been
their intent to have performance based funding to haulers not exceed $45,000 in
total and that payments to drop -off centers not exceed $5,000 in total based on
previously defined funding schedules. In the event that quantities were exceed
these amounts, staff was asked to return to the Commission for additional action.
As the additional funds for performance based funding had been previously
approved by the Commission, staff indicated that it would only be necessary to
have official action on the stump chipper. Upon motion by Knutson, seconded by
Tritz, all members voting in favor, the Commission recommended purchase of the
stump chipper through an amendment to the Dakota County Solid Waste Abatement
Enterprise Fund.
1990 SOLID WASTE BUDGET
Recycling Specialist Hageman reviewed the draft 1990 budget document
contained in the Commission packet. She pointed out that Dakota County's
priorities for 1990 were in the expansion of residential recycling to multi-
family units. Certain items of the budget were highlighted. Additional
questions and comments were shared by the Commission. Upon motion by Knutson,
seconded by Schnell, all members voting in favor, the Commission recommended the
proposed 1990 solid waste budget for City Administrator and Council considera-
tion.
PROMOTIONAL ACTIVITIES
Recycling Specialist Hageman outlined a staff direction to step up the
City's information efforts with regard to recycling. She stated that there would
be an increased emphasis on advertising and flyers as well as direct mail and
newsletter pieces. Marshall stated that the additional information was very
positive, but felt that there was a need for extensive promotion of the household
hazardous waste collection in September.
HOUSEHOLD HAZARDOUS WASTE COLLECTION
Recycling Specialist Hageman stated that the household hazardous waste
collection had been scheduled for September 9, 1989 and the staff would be
working with Unisys Corporation to develop details of the collection. She stated
that the experience in recent years at other collections indicated that there
would be a tremendous increase in participation from the City's first such event
in 1987. She also stated there would be substantial need for volunteer
assistance to perform the work.
MULTI -UNIT RECYCLING
Recycling Specialist Hageman updated the Commission on efforts to date
on multi -unit recycling. She stated that several management companies had been
in touch with City staff as a result of a circular mailed by the City. While
many had expressed interest, they were waiting for a joint meeting among building
managers in the City to discuss alternatives.
CITY PROCUREMENT OF RECYCLED PRODUCTS
Recycling Specialist Hageman stated that the City has made a commitment
to not only recycling but the use of recycled materials in certain City
functions. She stated that with the Commission's concurrence, she would begin
work with the City's purchasing agent to identify sources of recycled materials
and also to prepare a specific City policy concerning recycling procurement.
It was mentioned that the state and certain larger counties may already have
policies which the City could utilize. Upon motion by Knutson, seconded by Gatz,
all members voting in favor, the staff was directed to continued development of
a recycled material procurement policy.
NEXT MEETING
The next meeting of the Solid Waste Abatement Commission will be on
Tuesday, July 11, 1989 at 11:30 a.m.
ADJOURNMENT
Upon motion by Ista, seconded by Schnell, all members voting in favor,
the meeting was adjourned at 12:55 p.m.

I. ROLL CALL AND ADOPTION OF AGENDA
The agenda, as presented or modified, requires adoption by the
Commission.

A copy of the minutes of the Solid Waste Abatem nt Commission
meeting of June 13, 1989 is enclosed on page / for your
review. These minutes, subject to any change, require approval
by the Commssion.
III. STAFF REPORT
A. Tonnage Reports, first.half '89.
Recycling Haulers.
To date, I have only received tonnage reports from 5 of the 9
licensed haulers in the City. I have reviewed all documentation
that was accompanied by weight tickets and have authorized
payment for two haulers. Currently, I am still waiting for the
remaining reports and some miscellaneous weight tickets but I
will have estimates for tonnage and participation at our meeting
Tuesday.
Drop -off locations.
In addition to the haulers collecting recyclable materials,
there has been recycling activity throughout the city at a number
of drop -off locations. At the present time there are ten
locations for residents to drop -off materials ranging from
aluminum cans to used auto oil and batteries. Only Recycle
Minnesota Resources offers a buy back center. Drop -off location
figures are being compiled for the first half of the year and I
will also have these numbers for our meeting Tuesday.
Yard Waste Volumes.
The city of Eagan has received a copy of a report submitted by
R.D. Pecar, & Co.,Inc. which calculated tonnages from public and
commercial deliveries of yardwaste at the Dakota County
composting Facility, April, 1989. The figures show 100 cubic
yards or 40tons of material dropped off from the public and 292
cubic yard or 80 tons dropped off from the commercial sector. I
have not yet seen a report for May or June. I can make copies of
the report available upon request. This short report gives a
countywide breakdown by community of volume delivered.
At this time city staff is compiling data to begin estimating
the volumes collected at the City operated Compost facility.
Note: Many residents have been taking adva tage of the free
wood chips and composted materials. The Park and Recreation
Dept. has been a heavy user of the wood chips and has helped
replenish the supply also. There is now a large supply of
compost material for the taking, the material from the end of '88
is now ready for use.
B. Recyclable Materials Update.
Beginning August 1, 1989 haulers will be able to bring tin
food cans to the Dakota County Recyclables Collection Center.
Haulers will be allowed to commingle the tin and aluminum cans.
The price for these items has not been established at this time.
There may be a loss in flexibility in acquiring current market
prices for the aluminum. At this time County staff is
considering including all metals in the $15 /per ton price.
C. Household Hazardous Waste Collection Day
After meeting with representatives from Dakota County and
Unisys, the collection date for Eagan's hazardous waste drop -off
day has been changed. The new date is set for Saturday, October
7th. During our first meeting, responsibilities for each party
were dicussed along with possible layout for the collection site
and general operational duties.
IV. OLD BUSINESS
V. NEW BUSINESS
A. Discussion- Plastics Recycling, Packaging Bans /Ordinances
Plastics recycling is a hot topic these days, especially when
collections programs have begun to wake up consumers to the
necessity of such activity. We wanted to being to your attention

and begin discussion of possible roads the city of Eagan
can take towards incorporating plastics into our program or other
alternatives to managing this portion of the waste stream.

Section 1
•
A new, chapter of the Saint Paul Legislative Code is hereby
enacted to read as- follows:
Chapter 236
ENVIRONMENTAL PRESERVATION:
PLASTIC PACKAGING
Section 236.01 Legislative Purpose.
The Council finds that discarded packaging from foods and
beverages constitutes a significant and growing portion of the
waste in Saint Paul's waste stream. Regulation of food and
beverage packaging, therefore, is a necessary part of any effort
to encourage a recyclable and compostable waste stream, thereby
reducing the disposal of solid waste and the economic and
environmental costs of waste management for the citizens of Saint
Paul and others working or doing business in Saint Paul.
The Council further finds that plastic packaging is rapidly
replacing other packaging material, and that most plastic
packaging used for foods and beverages .is nondegradable,
nonreturnable and nonrecyclable.
