399 more to improve on the community's recycling efforts and options (e.g. park <br />400 recycling). <br />401 <br />402 Chair Cihacek noted the vendor risk based on uncontrollable markets, especially <br />403 based on glass recyclables making up such a significant portion of materials <br />404 collected in Roseville. <br />405 <br />406 Environmental Specialist Johnson agreed that glass represented 21% of the city's <br />407 recyclables right now; and if the city shifted its revenue share risk to Eureka, it <br />408 would also increase or impact the city's processing cost or per unit cost, since <br />409 Eureka couldn't realistically continue taking an annual hit of $30,000 or more as a <br />410 non-profit intended to grow and expand with their plans for capital improvements <br />411 and zero waste lab. Mr. Johnson noted Eureka had risk concerns similar to the city. <br />412 <br />413 Discussion ensued related to the international commodity market due to no <br />414 domestic market for most recyclables; assurances that a contractor recycled all <br />415 materials collected curbside versus past issues with contractors landfilling those <br />416 items collected; intended presentation by Eureka at an upcoming PWETC meeting <br />417 to provide their year-end report once negotiations were completed at the City <br />418 Council level; and positives of Roseville continuing to work with Eureka to retain <br />419 its high participation rate and outreach and educational efforts by Eureka with <br />420 residents to -date evidenced by increased tonnage over the last year, even with <br />421 instituting single sort and retaining less than 2% residuals. <br />422 V <br />423 In conclusion, Environmental Specialist Johnson reviewed intentions for the pilot <br />424 program for park recycling under the new contract; possible changes in the price <br />425 for parking lot and building walk-up recovery; and work with the Parks & <br />426 Recreation Department staff and advisory commission, along with the PWETC and <br />427 Public Works Department staff. Mr. Johnson addressed the concerns with pick-up <br />428 on pathways based on their type and location. Mr. Johnson advised that the initial <br />429 focus would be on Central Park as the most used park and providing good access, <br />430 with Eureka providing an analysis of materials collected, apparent interest of park <br />431 users, and the amount of contamination occurring, a driving force for Eureka and <br />432 the city for future park sites and costs. <br />433 <br />434 7. Comprehensive Surface Water Management Plan Update <br />435 Assistant Public Works Director re -introduced Ms. Rebecca Nestingen, with SEH, <br />436 for the next discussion with the PWETC on Sections 4 and 5 of the current <br />437 Comprehensive Surface Water Management Plan and updates for the next iteration. <br />438 Ms. Nestingen provided an outline of tonight's discussion (Attachment A) of the <br />439 goals and policies, along with current potential issues going forward in this cycle <br />440 of the ten-year update to the current Plan. <br />441 <br />442 Ms. Nestingen offered the PWETC preliminary results of public input to -date based <br />443 on an electronic resident survey (still functioning) and discussion topic on the <br />444 "Speak Up! Roseville" website (5 responses). Ms. Nestingen reviewed the top <br />Page 10 of 20 <br />
