Regular City Council Meeting Monday, June 17, 2013 Page 29 material used for his deck. Councilmember Etten suggested that the RFP not specify that the commodity be used in the five-state region. Mr. Pratt advised that the PWETC considered added value to have materials recy- cled locally; noting that all of the materials recycled could be processed within the area, with most of those facilities complaining that they couldn't get enough raw materials. Mr. Schwartz suggested adding the word "preferable"to the RFP language. Councilmember Laliberte questioned the rationale for including Item "0" (page 36) dictating smoking behavior. While Councilmember Willmus suggested that this was based on smoking behav- ior of vendors at ballfields, Mr. Pratt advised that it was actually the result of a vendor picking up recycling in a multi-family facility's garage, and smoking in the halls of this non-smoking facility. Mr. Pratt clarified that it was a community value specifying that preference. In Section 5.02 (page 13), Mayor Roe suggested review of language related to ve- hicle standards, repeating in the next several paragraphs, and those that were dic- tated by state and/or federal rules rather than the City specifying those require- ments. Mr. Pratt advised that those redundancies were probably due to cutting and past- ing, and advised that he would review them and clean them up. In number 7 (page 14), Mayor Roe suggested that the specific tools for cleaning up spills did not need to be dictated, simply "appropriate tools." In Sections 5.16 and 5.17 (pages 21 and 22) referencing scavenging and owner- ship, Mayor Roe suggesting removing duplicate language. In Section 6.07 (page 27), Mayor Roe suggested revised language that "... initia- tives may include[but are not limited to]..." Proposed Evaluation Team Mr. Schwartz provided the proposed five (5) member evaluation team consisting of Mr. Schwartz, Finance Director Miller, Mr. Pratt, one PWETC member; and a staff member of the Ramsey County Environmental Health Department. The team was approved by consensus. Willmus moved, McGehee seconded, directing staff to return with this item for the July 1, 2013 special meeting agenda.
