At the request of Mr. Goodwin, Chair Stenlund advised that this could affect <br /> smaller crews building a house or larger construction or street projects, with cases <br /> of water often used. <br /> Mr. Goodwin noted, from the City's perspective as well as that of Eureka, that <br /> may indicate a drop-off for those sites, and could possibly be included as part of <br /> the permitting process for the City to provide containers for recycling and work <br /> with Eureka to pick-up dumpsters or containers. Mr. Goodwin noted that it would <br /> be harder to accomplish this with smaller home builders. <br /> Chair Stenlund considered many MnDOT road projects during the summer <br /> construction season and the need to keep workers hydrated, which to him sounded <br /> like a great opportunity to pursue. Chair Stenlund also spoke in support of the <br /> zero waste aspect for community activities. <br /> Member Lenz suggested persuading people not to use plastic water bottles, with <br /> Chair Stenlund opining that while preferred, it wasn't always practical to do so, <br /> when a safe water source needed to be ensured. <br /> Regarding next year's report, at the request of Mr. Goodwin, Chair Stenlund <br /> clarified that he wanted the report to include any aspects of the program that are <br /> not working, whether the single sort was equal or better than dual sort, or if there <br /> were other preferred options; and using the same dashboard to track both options. <br /> Member Wozniak suggested that rather than waiting an entire year, Eureka be <br /> invited to make a quarterly report of that data. <br /> Mr. Goodwin expressed his willingness to return midway through the year when <br /> good data was available after the transition period, and noted that most of the <br /> information is available on their website on a daily basis. <br /> Mr. Schwartz noted that past and present PWETC members, as well as <br /> Councilmembers, had expressed an interest in a field trip once Eureka's <br /> processing facility was fully on line. <br /> Mr. Goodwin so noted that request, suggesting that in late spring or early summer, <br /> Eureka would be willing to accommodate that as a private tour, but also noted that <br /> Eureka planned open houses for the community so they could see firsthand where <br /> their recycled materials went. <br /> At the request of Member Lenz, Mr. Goodwin noted the location of their facility, <br /> just off East Hennepin and Highway 280. <br /> Additional discussion included every other week versus weekly collection, <br /> especially with the anticipated collection of compost; and education and <br /> Page 10 of 12 <br />
