Unfortunately, Mr. Goodwin noted that the revenue share continued to trend <br /> down and reviewed how and why materials are worth less than they were three <br /> years ago, based on commodities, their market prices, and impacts to those <br /> commodities. <br /> As the PWETC considered options for future fieldtrips, Mr. Goodwin encouraged <br /> them to visit Eureka's MRF or glass separation facilities. <br /> At the request of Member Wozniak, Mr. Goodwin reviewed how their firm was <br /> able to measure total tonnage at routes and lists of stops at single-family and/or <br /> multi-family properties, based on the number of carts tipped at each site, cart <br /> weights and amounts as distributed among buildings. <br /> While multi-family properties are unique, Mr. Goodwin reviewed how the driver <br /> measured those carts before tipping them, monitoring each building, and <br /> continued to seek more efficient ways to track that tonnage beyond current <br /> practices. However, Mr. Goodwin noted how essential this type of information <br /> was as a tool to provide historical information on collections and properties from <br /> the previous year. <br /> Chair Stenlund suggested some type of contest for multi-family properties to <br /> incentivize them to recycle, especially those showing significant drops from the <br /> previous year. <br /> Mr. Goodwin concurred with such an incentive program; noting the need to find <br /> out how and why trends are fluctuating at specific buildings to address those <br /> needs. <br /> Chair Stenlund noted his previous request to address a way to provide recycling at <br /> construction site for materials (e.g. water bottles from workers); with Mr. <br /> Goodwin remembering that request, but recognizing the unfortunate logistical <br /> issues involved in such a system. <br /> Mr. Goodwin noted Eureka's observation of last year's Rosefest to monitor events <br /> and their plan to work with Rotary in 2015 to make this large city event a zero <br /> waste event, providing another example to Roseville residents and others of the <br /> intent of the City of Roseville to lead recycling efforts. <br /> Member Cihacek noted dramatic drops indicated in municipal buildings in <br /> Roseville (e.g. fire station) and asked if there was some variable that accounted <br /> for that; and why the City's policy about recycling at the city level was not <br /> tracking as well as residential recycling. <br /> Mr. Goodwin stated that it was hard to describe the why, as each building was <br /> unique; but suggested the downtrend at the fire station was perhaps due to it only <br /> being open during a portion of the year. As far as City Hall trending, Mr. <br /> Page 7 of 13 <br />
