Concern was expressed about seeking additional weighing information from the proposers after the proposals had been opened. Motion made by Member Latham and seconded by Member Kostuch to 1. Negotiate with the top two proposers. 2. The City request that the top two proposers provide additional information concerning the following metrics, and that the City evaluation team should use this additional information in scoring the environmental criterion in the RFP: N7 a. What energy sources (e.g., gasoline, electricity, natural gas, diesel, biodiesel, other fuels, etc.) does the proposer use at each stage of the collection, transfer and processing of their recycling enterprise? b. Submit documentation of the fuel efficiency of the proposer's fleet. 3. City Council members should tour top two proposers' facilities. 4. The top two proposers should submit a Syr bid in addition to their 7yr bid. Discussion was held regarding he vaue ran�Lk ng su ed in the best enviro a tal scorer not offer 1 rI%�� the best economic package. Members expressed concern that a more should be developed to evaluate the environmental category.

Members expressed concern about the seven year length of the contract and why a shorter time wasn't.offered.

Commissioner Latham recommended that the City Council members tour the Material Recycling Facility (MRF) of both the top two pr osers givgn that with tw t p prop sers thele is at least a 50% chance th t the cc�CLtract�� will change vendors Gen concern was expressed with the that there were no commissioners on the Recycling RFP review team.

Motion made by Commissioner Rudnicki, seconded by Commissioner Thompson addition to the two PrZ,J S�+L metrics identified in the previous motion, the city should request proposers to provide information on this additional metric, with the City considering this information in evaluating the proposers' score under the environmental criteria of the RFP: how much energy is used to handle one ton of material in each step of the process. The top two proposers would be expected to include, but not limited to, fuel used to collect and/or transfer one ton of material; electricity in the processing stage to handle one ton of material (this is the energy needed to run conveyor belts, fans, blowers, climate control, etc); and energy (e.g., diesel, natural gas) to operate transfer equipment like loaders, etc. Discussion - Commissioners Heer and Kostuch believed that this metric could only be validated if the proposers also documented the assumptions upon which the data was gathered, and could involve considerable effort to gather. Commissioner Latham was concerned that this could extend the time frame to arrive at a decision. Commissioner Rudnicki assured the commission that vendors had routine knowledge of this data in the operation of their plants and that it would not be difficult for proposers to gather. Commissioner Sierks acknowledged that he did not know if this data were d� ather or not but believed that it would be worth the effort to try to obtain in order to qr t+t'the Ern ronmental criterion of the RFP. Ms. Wilmot expressed concern about how to gather the data. Roll Call was taken: Ayes: Gubrud, Rudnicki, Thompson, Zarrin and Chair Sierks Nays: Heer, Kostuch, Latham, Absent: Paterlini and Risser C.

Staff Liaison should prepare a report on the B3 data and put together the data for the Regional Indicators Project, which will be shown at the annual televised meeting. There may be some lag in the data such that the data for the immediately previous year may not yet be available. Thus, the previous 2 or more years will be featured. For example, the data for 2010 and 2011 would be shown in January 2013. Staff Liaison should present a report on the EEEP program progress for the annual meeting. February Chair or Chair designee meets with Council for 3 evenings during the first two weeks of February from approximately 5:30 — 7:30 pm at City Hall to interview all candidates for Boards and Commissions. All three meetings should be attended regardless of whether a candidate has designated EEC as a commission of interest. Often applicants are unaware of what EEC and its working groups do. Sometimes a candidate not selected for any commission may have a skill set applicable to one of the EEC working groups and this is an opportunity to encourage that candidate to apply for an EEC working group. EEC Commissioners are selected primarily from among those listing EEC as their commission of first choice. Nomination of one person to be recognized at April Volunteer Recognition reception and selection of commissioner who will present the nominee. EEC Chair, or commissioner nominating and introducing the volunteer to be recognized fills out the nomination forms by the required date (usually first week of April) and forwards them to Susan Howl. Dinner for n ominee and commissioner introducing them is paid from from EEC budget. Review and update annual activities schedule. March Hold annual meeting to: • Elect officers for the upcoming year (Chair and Vice Chair) • Review and update bylaws as necessary, • Affirm the regular meeting schedule for the upcoming year, • Plan budget for coming year, and • Make an annual work plan for the coming year. Chair thanks outgoing commissioners and welcomes new commissioners. Chair provides new commissioners with EEC specific policies and notifies Communications department of commissioner additions and departures as well as the new chair so that the EEC website can be updated. All commissioners should attend the annual Boards and Commission dinner. All commissions' incoming and outgoing commissioners are recognized. There is no charge for this dinner. Chair revises previous year's press release soliciting working group members, presents it in the packet to EEC for approval, and, upon approval, forwards it to the Communications Department for publication in the Edina Sun Current. Updated 3-29-12 10 Decide if EEC will have a unit in the Edina 4th of July parade. If so, a Parade Committee chair must be appointed to fill out the parade application form by May 1 and coordinate the unit. The application is found on the City web site. Assistant City Manager will hold a training session for new EEC commissioners. EEC Chair confirms that the Volunteer Recognition Awards forms have been filled out and timely submitted to Susan Howl by the end of March. April EEC's Volunteer Recognition nominee and commissioner presenting EEC's nominee to be recognized at the April Volunteer Recognition reception will attend the Volunteer Recognition reception at EEC's expense. All other commissioners are encouraged to attend at their own expense. Chair and/or Staff Liaison must update Green Step Cities (GSC) website with progress on all best practices and associated actions so that Edina will be given proper credit during the May (GSC) all -city evaluation scoring, which are announced at the June Mayor's conference. May Request at least one Work Session with Council at least 6 — 8 weeks before required. During the work session, any items EEC proposes sending to Council for formal approval should be reviewed. This includes ordinance changes and any other initiatives, policy changes or acquisitions. This allows EEC an opportunity to fine tune proposals and to enhance the EEC initiative's smooth passage. Avoid asking for a work session from mid Oct. through year end because these work sessions are dominated by budget issues. Avoid January because Council meetings generally go to midnight with street reconstruction project hearings. June A 7 -year residential Recycling contract begins 1-1-2013. Initiate an RFP 24 months in advance of contract termination. This is especially needed if any new technology is available for processing recyclables, or if new commodities are available, or if Hennepin County or the State of Minnesota has any new requirements. Include an objective metric for determining the point scoring for environmental points. The Turf Management Plan must be reviewed every 5 years. Last reviewed by City council in April 2012. The Procurement Plan was approved by City Council on 3-20-2012 and must be reviewed a minimum of every 5 years by EEC. EEC should begin its review process one year prior to the five-year anniversary. The EEC staff liaison will request an annual staff review and make any staff concerns known to EEC regarding implementation. The Chair should verify that there will be no summer quorum failures due to vacations. July Decide whether EEC wishes to host any special events in the coming year such as a speaker program or an ECO tour. August Assume that there will be at least one opening on the commission each year and begin recruiting qualified candidates who will apply for openings. Consider Working Group members with exceptional contributions. September CDP Committee and the EEC staff liaison must update annual Carbon Disclosure Project (CDP) questionnaire on-line at httos://www.cdoroject.net/en-US/Pages/HomePage.as� x, then send it to the EEC for approval and finalizing. Updated 3-29-12 11 October Commission Chair and/or staff liaison contacts Communications Department to request that EEC's televised meeting be held at the January meeting and gets it on the Council chambers recording schedule. November Plan the content of the January televised meeting. This is especially important if the December meeting will be canceled. The EEC Staff Recording Secretary reserves EEC meeting room for each month of the next year. December Staff Liaison must pay ICLEI dues, which are due Dec. 31 for the following year. Commission applications are accepted by the city from mid December through mid January. All commissioners should encourage qualified applicants to apply for any openings that EEC may have. Give consideration to any EEC working group members who may have shown exemplary service in the prior year(s). After December meeting, or last meeting of the year if the December meeting is canceled, the Staff Liaison must report the attendance to the City Clerk. Continuing Monthly Activities Two weeks after meeting, the staff Recording Secretary forwards the minutes to the EEC Chair (Vice Chair, or Acting Chair), who presided at that meeting, to proof. Upon EEC Presiding Chair and Recording Secretary agreement on changes, the corrected minutes are placed in EEC packet. The EEC Chair prepares monthly agenda in consultation with EEC staff liaison. To be included, an agenda item must: 1) Be within EEC's jurisdiction as defined in City code 1502 (this excludes school issues, for example); 2) Be within EEC's annual work plan approved by Council (Green Step Cities projects, for example); 3) Fit within the time available at its scheduled meeting given that each EEC meeting is but 2 hours long. The EEC Recording Secretary updates working group membership as well as attendance and includes it in the monthly packet. All WG meeting rooms must be scheduled by City staff so that they are properly noticed on the calendar and posted in public locations. Meetings should not be scheduled on Federal holidays, religious holidays or on political party caucus evenings (ft Thurs. in Feb.). The Working Group Chair should take minutes for each Working Group meeting. If the Chair delegates the minutes to another Working Group member, the Chair must review the minutes for any inaccuracies or inappropriate comments and update the minutes prior to forwarding the minutes to the Working Group for approval. Once the Working Group has approved the minutes, the Working Group Chair should forward the minutes to the EEC Chair for inclusion in the EEC packet. Minutes should state who recorded them as well as those present and any votes taken and the result of those votes. The EEC Staff Liaison shall review the EEC minutes and Working Group minutes for any inaccuracies and inappropriate comments prior to their inclusion in the EEC packet.

Timeline and Format Board and commissions should focus on drafting their work plans during the summer months for the following year. The Council meets with Board and Commission Chairs during the month of September to review the proposed work plans. The Council gives final approval for the work plans in November, after additional progress has been made with the City's overall work plan and budget. Work plans go into effect January 1 for the remainder of the calendar year. The work plan has three main sections (Attachment 1): • New Initiatives —This section should be used to outline any new initiatives the board or commission would like to take pursue during the upcoming year. • Ongoing Responsibilities —This section should be used to document the board or commission's ongoing responsibilities. Ongoing responsibilities include items that are repeated on a regular or annual basis, or regulatory functions that are delegated to the board or commission. • Other Work Plan Ideas Considered for Current Year or Future Years — This section should be used as a "parking lot" for ideas that were considered during the work planning process. Ideas that the board and commission wants to hold for consideration for future years should also be included in this section. Some boards and commission have few ongoing responsibilities and most of their work will fall into the initiatives category. Other boards and commissions have significant ongoing responsibilities and may only be able to tackle only one or two new initiatives each year. Council Review and Approval The Council schedules a meeting in September to meet with Board and Commission Chair regarding their proposed work plan. The purpose of the meeting is to review the Board or Commission proposed new initiatives and ongoing responsibilities for the upcoming year. The Council also reviews any ideas discussed by the Board or Commission but not placed on the work plan. In late September and October, the Council has additional discussions about city-wide priorities, the budget and the allotment of staff time. It is possible that the Council will add, delete or re -prioritize items on board or commission work plans based on these discussions. The Council approves and returns work plans to boards and commissions during the month of November. Mid -Year Modifications Work plans can be modified, to add or delete items, one of three ways. First, work plans can be modified by mutual agreement during a joint work session. Second, if immediate approval is important, the board or commission can work with their staff liaison to present a modified work plan for council approval at a council meeting. Lastly, the city council can direct a change to the work plan. 27 Missing a projected target completion date is not a reason to amend the work plan. It is understood that these dates are projections and that occasionally items will be delayed or carried over to a subsequent year. However, Boards and Commissions should make sure that their meeting minutes including updates on the status of work plan items.

One of our key initiatives has been to implement mandatory commercial and business recycling here. Many surrounding communities, like Bloomington, require businesses and multiple housing units to recycle, just as residents are required to do. We do not feel that Edina should be left behind. EGG has been in regular contact with Edina's Environment & Energy Commission ("EEC") relative to this matter. We have made presentations to both the EEC and its Solid Waste Committee outlining the benefits of mandatory business recycling, including the cost savings and other advantages to businesses located in Edina. The EEC initially told EGG that it could not act on commercial recycling because it was not on the list of recommended practices for Green Step Cities. However, after EGG shared with Green Step Cities our concerns relative to business recycling, it was added to those recommendations in December 2011. We understand, however, that currently only residential recycling is within the purview of the ECC. Therefore, this letter is to respectfully request that the Edina City Council add commercial recycling to EEC jurisdiction and / or request that the EEC conduct a study of this matter in order to make a recommendation to Council. By working together, we hope to continue to improve the environment in Edina as a leading Minnesota city. Your attention to this issue is greatly appreciated. Thank you.
