DRAFT Regular City Council Meeting <br />Monday, June 17, 2013 <br />Page 16 <br />1 <br />effect. Member DeBenedet advised that the last direction provided by the <br />2 <br />PWETC to staff in developing the draft RFP was to include single and dual sort; <br />3 <br />with a mandate that each bidder state and demonstrate to the City where its recy- <br />4 <br />cling went and what it was recycling for the end market. Member DeBenedet <br />5 <br />noted that the City's goal was to increase recycling collections, but also to ensure <br />6 <br />those materials were actually being recycled. As an example, Member DeBene- <br />7 <br />det noted that the City of Minneapolis, when going to single sort recycling, their <br />8 <br />numbers shot up; however, he noted that their numbers were significantly lower <br />9 <br />than those of Roseville's as well, with current Roseville numbers indicating 80% <br />10 <br />participation or more. Member DeBenedet opined hat fine - tuning was important, <br />11 <br />but allowing a wider range of bidders was also important. <br />12 <br />13 <br />Regarding recycling and community values, Councilmember Willmus questioned <br />14 <br />to what extent outreach had been conducted to measure those values. Coun- <br />15 <br />cilmember Willmus stated that he heard repeatedly from residents their preference <br />16 <br />to move to single stream and sue carts; and referenced a flyer from Eureka Recy- <br />17 <br />cling supporting that community support. <br />18 <br />19 <br />Vice Chair Stenlund advised that the PWETC had researched community values <br />20 <br />through performing surveys; and that the City's goal of maximizing community <br />21 <br />recycling could be re- evaluated if it was determined that the single stream pro - <br />22 <br />gram didn't accomplish that; and upon renewal or rebidding the contract, it could <br />23 <br />return to a dual sort system. Vice Chair Stenlund opined that the important thing <br />24 <br />was to attempt innovations and try to find the best way to accomplish the goals. <br />25 <br />26 <br />Mayor Roe, whether in considering recycling or refuse, opined that if more was <br />27 <br />being recycled than ending up as refuse, the community would find that supporta- <br />28 <br />ble. Mayor Roe opined that the question is what is realistic; and the only way to <br />29 <br />know that was through reporting mandates in the recycling contract. <br />30 <br />31 <br />Vice Chair Stenlund noted that another consideration for carts versus bins is the <br />32 <br />workers compensation costs for vendors in their employees lifting bins versus a <br />33 <br />single sort system with a cart that was lifted through robotic means, with the fu- <br />34 <br />ture probably trying to eliminate some of the human components and costs. <br />35 <br />36 <br />Councilmember Willmus asked if the PWETC had addressed why other commu- <br />37 <br />nities are switching to single sort recycling. <br />38 <br />39 <br />Member DeBenedet advised that the PWETC had discussed researching that; <br />40 <br />however, there was no contact with other communities; while indications were <br />41 <br />that it was to increase participation rates; but not allowing for any analysis of how <br />42 <br />it related to recycling rates. <br />43 <br />44 <br />Mayor Roe advised that the City had been provided some data. <br />45 <br />
