310 <br />Mr. Goodwin stated that it was hard to describe the why, as each building was <br />311 <br />unique; but suggested the downtrend at the fire station was perhaps due to it only <br />312 <br />being open during a portion of the year. As far as City Hall trending, Mr. <br />313 <br />Goodwin note that in some years, they performed massive file purging while in <br />314 <br />other years, they did not. Similar to multi -family properties with new property <br />315 <br />managers and/or renovations, Mr. Goodwin noted there may be reasons for <br />316 <br />reduced recycling in some years. <br />317 <br />318 For those multi -family properties not wishing to participate, Mr. Goodwin advised <br />319 that they then got City staff involved in working wi hem to encourage their <br />320 participation. <br />321 <br />322 Member Heimerl stated that he felt good about the education efforts by Eureka, <br />323 and asked how much they were working with the School District and if so, <br />324 whether or not their programs were proving successful. <br />325 <br />326 Mr. Goodwin responded that outreschools was being used more and more, <br />327 especially with individual teachers us vironm tal or sustainable curriculum. <br />328 Mr. Goodwin noted that it was only natural for kids to want to prove themselves <br />329 smarter than adults, and therefore provided a good source to alert those adults to <br />330 new materials now being recycled (e.g. milk cartons and linens) and encouraged <br />331 continuing to get kids excited about it. Mr. Goodwin advised that part of those <br />332 educational efforts included visits to the MRF to provide the eye-opening event <br />333 when you could visibly see the situations and problem materials and their impact <br />334 in the process (e.g. plastic bags tangled in equipment and rationale in not using <br />335 black plastics due to unreadable resin codes). <br />336 <br />337 Member Lenz asked Mr. Goodwin to review their educational flyer and list of <br />338 aterials for easier reading and only one-sided for posting purposes. <br />339 <br />340 Mr. Goodwin duly noted that request and advised that he would review the <br />341 materials prior to their next printing; but asked that Member Lenz send him a <br />342 copy of her list for reference when redesigning the flyer to ensure it was updated <br />343 and feedback incorporated. <br />344 <br />345 Member Wozniak noted the report showing some municipal parks were not <br />346 recycling and others were. <br />347 <br />348 Mr. Goodwin advised that multiple parks may have materials going to one central <br />349 location, or recycling canisters may not be available in all parks as Ramsey <br />350 County was providing those containers to municipal parks. Mr. Goodwin <br />351 cautioned that there were a number of places where Eureka may tip but were not <br />352 representative of parks having service. <br />353 <br />354 Mr. Culver concurred, advising that City staff continued to work with Ramsey <br />355 County to increase recycling participation in parks. However, Mr. Culver noted <br />Page 8 of 13 <br />
