REPORT PRES-D ON SOTJD WASTE COLTXCTION ANTI APARTMENT RECYCLING: COUNCIL TO
REVIEFJ MULTI-FAMILY RECYCLING PROGRAM IN ONE YEAR
at the Council meeting of September 4, several questions were raised regarding
options for recycling and garbage collection and the costs of the various systems.
Janet Chandler, Recycling Coordinator, presented a report on basic information on
solid waste collection systems as well as staff suggestions regarding the
apartment recycling program summarized as follows.
Manager Rosland recalled that
Solid Waste Components
Solid waste now handled separately include garbage, recyclables, compostable yard
waste and hazardous waste. Garbage haulers are providing separate pickup for the
first three listed. Collection of hazardous waste requires certain permits,

licenses and insurance provisions and therefore these materials are picked up by
specialized haulers or may be taken to drop-off locations.
Collection Systems
Organized Collection - City contracts with hauler or group of haulers to provide
service for whole city or sections of city.
Districting - City designates the pickup day within each district. Haulers may
have customers in any or all district but must provide service on designated day.
Open Hauling - Haulers can service any area of city, property owners may choose
hauler.
City Operated - City crews perform the service using city trucks.
Service Categories bv ProDerty TvDe
Residential - Single- family homes and others with individual hauling service.
Multi-family - Apartments and condominiums, centralized dumpster service.
Commercial - All non-residential, dumpster service.
Haulers classify multi-family buildings as "commercial" since these buildings have
dumpster service for garbage.
property types; however, .only five provide service for residential customers.
Edina's 13 haulers are licensed to serve all
Comparison of Collection Systems
A comparison of collection systems was given as to costs, legal requirements,
Hennepin County policy, City ordinances, environmental considerations and public
policy concerns. It was noted that to set up Organized Collection the Minnesota
Waste Management Act requires cities to follow a set procedure beginning 180 days
before implementation. Although not legally required, it may be advisable to
follow a similar procedure to set up a Districting system.

made that the City could contract for recycling service for apartments as well as
single family homes and put this in place by January, 1991. Staff would recommend

originally planned. Per Hennepin County policy, the $5 per unit container will be

addressed in the context of a study of solid waste collection options, looking to
1992 for implementation of any changes.

Upon Council approval, a program could be set up to provide partial funding for
apartment recycling in 1991 as follows:

City and School District officials and staff and that the issue of the tennis

REPORT GIVEN ON ENTRY M0"TS - 50°K AND FRANCE BUSINESS DISTRICT Assistant
Manager Hughes recalled that on June 4, 1990 the Council held a public hearing on
the 50th and France Renovation Project. At that time Peter Jarvis, BRW, presented
graphics that showed the improvements that were envisioned. The Council approved
the project but asked that Mr. Jarvis return when the design of the entry
monuments and the main focal area are defined. Over the last few months

Mr. Jarvis and his staff and City staff have worked with the 50th and France
Business and Professional Association concerning the design and have agreed on a
proposed design solution for those two area.
Peter Jarvis, BRW, made board presentations for three entry monuments illustrating
a gateway design. He pointed out that the monument for the focal area would be
larger than the monuments at the north entry to the business district (north of
the proposed Walgreens), at the south entry (Americana Bank) and at the west entry
(northwest corner of Lunds parking lot). The basic color would be forest green
with a logo design approved by the 50th and France-Association and would consist
of a double set of four inch pipes extending upward and rounded at the top set in
a substantial base. In between the four inch set of pipes would be a continuous
band of light, possibly fiber optic, with a metal banner in form of a ribbon the
color of royal purple.
Jt was concluded that the focal area (the present carillon tower area) has a lot
happening there and there was no reason to have another vertical element. The
fountain is proposed to be refurbished, the carillon tower will be removed and
comfortable metal seating surrounding the fountain on three sides is proposed.
Formal planting of large, lacey honey locust trees are planned with pots of
seasonal flowers and light fixtures to match the new pedestrian and street
lighting in the business district.
Assistant Manager Hughes stated that the entry monuments would be part of the bid
package that will be brought to the Council with the other proposed improvements
for the 50th and France Business District within the next few months.

1989 ANNUAL FINANCIAL REPORT DISCUSSED The Council Members raised several
questions concerning the 1989 Annual Financial Report for the City of Edina as
follows. Reference in the April 27, 1990 letter (page 2) to the Mayor and Council
from the City Manager concerning "several external areas of concern which may
require special attention by the mayor and members of the City Council during the
present fiscal period." Manager Rosland explained that the reference was to major
9/17/90
property tax changes adopted by the State Legislature and a new comparable worth
bill that was passed which will again create some additional problems.
Reference in the April 27, 1990 letter (page 126) to the Mayor and Council from
KPMG Peat Marwick to "certain matters involving the internal control structure and
its operation that we have reported to the management of the City of Edina,
Minnesota in a separate letter dated April 27, 1990." Finance Director Wallin
