Vlll. REPORTSIRECOMMENDATIONS
VIII.A. RESIDENTIAL ORGANICS RECYCLING— PRESENTED
Sustainability Coordinator Brown stated in the 20 18-20 19 Budget Work Plan, a strategy under Budget Goal
#3 Connected & Sustainable Development was to 'Determine strategy and timeline for meeting waste
reduction goals with residential organics recycling by Q2 2018.' This report detailed key information and
policy options to support the community in meeting the Minnesota Pollution Control Agency's (MPCA) and
Hennepin County's goal to recycle 75% of waste as well as the City's sustainability goal to reduce GHG
emissions 30% by 2025.
Energy and Environment Commissioner (EEC) Seeley reviewed and commented on residents' organic and
the 2022 mandate, timeline goals, and concurrence that City-wide curbside organics was the best course of
action to meet that goal. She shared how other cities had adopted and expanded items that could be
composted, noting many Edina residents already contracted for this service. She explained there would be
a learning curve moving forward and resident education would be a crucial component of this program.

Minutes/Edina City Council/July 17,2018
The Council thanked the EEC for its work and efforts and asked about the marketplace and where the
product goes. Ms. Seeley explained there were two processing facilities in the area that had doubled its
capacity size to process organic waste. The Council spoke about multiple ways to accomplish this goal such
as combining trips that would not result in additional trucks and suggested quadrants for smaller haulers,
making both trips efficient. Ms. Seeley said those details would be addressed in the RFP process.
The Council asked about pick-up schedules, process, and the potential new position to coordinate this work.
Mr. Neal commented on the proposed FTE and described how costs would be assessed with a resident's
household charge. The Council spoke about the educational component, outreach, and future other duties
for the new position. Ms. Brown said the position could provide flexibility but noted staff would be needed
to coordinate this effort. The Council thanked the EEC for its work and asked about a full community look,
such as the incorporation of restaurants. Ms. Brown said many restaurants were already participating but
agreed it would be a great point to share and to educate all restaurants personnel.
Member Brindle made a motion, seconded by Member Fischer, directing staff to prepare a
policy encompassing curbside organics recycling and include the new organics service with the
next recycling bid.
Ayes: Brindle, Fischer, Staunton, Hovland.
Motion carried.
VIII.B. GATEWAY AREA (PENTAGON PARK) AUAR UPDATE —PRESENTED
Community Development Director Teague stated as part of a rezoning of the Pentagon Park Area to MDD-
6, Mixed Use Development, an AUAR, Environmental Study was completed in 2007 and updated in 2013 to
examine impacts of the proposed development, and development scenarios beyond the densities suggested
by the development. AUARs need to be updated every five years when no development occurs.
Andi Moffit, WSB, presented the AUAR update that evaluated different development scenarios, a mitigation
plan, traffic, air noise, storm water, ecological, wastewater, water use, parks and trails, historic, erosion, and
development scenarios that did not change in the update. She said the plan evaluated mitigation measures
and allowed for agency and public comment period.
The Council asked questions regarding parking on park property, effects on the AUAR, and whether there
was concern regarding transportation wastewater or storm water. Ms. Moffit said the update revealed no
concerns provided mitigation measures were followed. Mr. Millner explained mitigation would include a
range of scenarios and depended on that range, as lower density resulted in less mitigation. Member
Fischer made a motion, seconded by Member Stewart, to authorize staff to distribute the
AUAR for public comment.
Ayes: Brindle, Fischer, Staunton, Stewart, Hovland
Motion carried.
VIII.C. RESOLUTION 2018-60 ADOPTED -ACCEPTING VARIOUS GRANTS AND DONATIONS
