Member Cihacek stated that he was fine with the city owning the carts if city <br /> funds were available for their purchase; and if there would be no additional outlay <br /> or implicit overhead costs with city ownership beyond their purchase, including <br /> management and/or maintenance of the carts and it could be solvent within the <br /> current budget. Member Cihacek opined that it seemed to be a good use for <br /> revenue share funds going forward. <br /> Member Seigler concurred with Member Cihacek, opining that if the average life <br /> expectancy for carts was up to ten years, it would result in a $2/month savings. <br /> By consensus, the PWETC majority supported city ownership of the carts. <br /> Section 5.05 - Zero Waste Events (pages 18 - 19) <br /> Mr. Johnson noted current zero waste events; and asked if the PWETC would like <br /> to add other events. <br /> Member Cihacek opined that he found the intent of this section vague other than <br /> requiring contractors to attend and collecting materials. <br /> Mr. Johnson responded that the intent was to 1) educate the public; 2) helping <br /> people sort materials; 3) use of special compostable materials supplied by the city <br /> (e.g. BPI-certified utensils). <br /> Member Cihacek questioned how contractor performance was measured. <br /> Mr. Johnson advised that, for the Taste of Roseville in 2015, the contractor <br /> provided a report showing the composition of discarded material by volume; <br /> providing overview as well as informing future events. <br /> Member Cihacek noted that this fit with Eureka's operating model; but asked if <br /> other vendors offered this as part of their standard business model, or if this <br /> limited vendors to only those with a similar core vision. <br /> Mr. Johnson advised that, as with the previous RFP, all vendors said they could <br /> do it and provided their ideas for how they could do so; and he saw no reason how <br /> this should limit vendors. <br /> Organic CompostingFac acilit . <br /> Member Seigler asked if the City of Roseville had a composting facility at this <br /> time; with Mr. Johnson responding that it did not, and while it could be dropped <br /> at a Ramsey County site, any organics currently collected were brought to the <br /> Eureka Materials Recovery Facility (MRF). In response to Member Seigler, Mr. <br /> Johnson advised that the vendor would need to take that into consideration as part <br /> of their bid to provide that or subcontract with another MRF if they didn't have <br /> their own processing plant. However, Mr. Johnson advised that it was part of the <br /> Page 12 of 20 <br />
