CITY OF EDINA
RESOLUTION REJECTING MINNEAPOLIS TAR
STUDY AND PROVIDING FOR FURTHER
INVESTIGATION OF FACTS AND CONTINGENCIES
WHEREAS, the Minneapolis Downtown Council and the Minneapolis Industrial
Commission recently caused a study to be made which contended that State
tax laws should be modified to provide additional state aid to the City of
Minneapolis, and
WHEREAS, the study implied that the City of Minneapolis has been
subsidizing suburban Hennepin County communities, and
WHEREAS, the release of the study on January 16, 1975 was done to
influence members of the State Legislature to support modifications
based upon said study, and
WHEREAS, several of the suburban chambers of commerce and suburban
communities have taken the initiative to respond to the study with
preliminary facts that demonstrate the inaccurateness of the Minneapolis
study-;- -and
WHEREAS, the City Council has determined that considerable
additional research and investigation is required before such a study
can be realistically utilized by the Legislature, therefore
BE IT RESOLVED by the City Council of the City of EDINA
that the State Legislature is hereby requested to withhold any action
based upon the Downtown Minneapolis Study until such time as the entire
facts and implications can be appropriately investigated and reported,
and
BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED that the City Council of EDRIA
endorses: a comprehensive study of the tax and fiscal matters and the
relationship of suburbs and the -City of Minneapolis, to include the
impact of changes in tax aid formulas on the entire state as well as the
metropolitan area, and
BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED that (1) the suburban chambers of commerce
set up a municipal government task force to provide input for said studies,
and (2) that the City of EDINA hereby designates
C.Wayne Courtney and J. N. Dalen to represent
(elected official) (staff member)
the City on such task force.
Adopted by the City Council March 3, 1975.
I hereby certify that the above resolution was adopted by the
City Council of the City of Edina., Minnesota, March 3 997 .

WHEREAS, the use of returnable containers will save on energy.
To manufacture manufacture a new bottle or can-uses up energy and raw materials; ,
reusing the container involves little additional energy and no.new materials.
,2,'4.4 times more energy is required to package.beverage in 15 throwaways than
to refill a returnable 15 times.(1) National average is 19 trips per returnable.'
3, Use of all returnable beverage containers in 1971 would have saved roughly
the energy equivalent of 23 million gallons of oil in Minnesota alone.(2)
L4. Approximately 967 million cubic•feet of natural gas could have:been saved
in Minnesota in 1971 with,a ban on throwaways.(3)
Sr The beverage industry's energy requirement in 1970 could have been reduced
by 55% with the exclusive use of returnables.(4) �
WHEREAS, the use of returnable containers will conserve our. natural resources.
)More cans were produced for soft drinks and beer in the first five months
of 1972 than for all other human foods combined.(4)
z) In 1971, 5.6 million tons of steel were consumed in the manufacture.of steel
cans, (5) while steel used for the manufacture of all home applicances for that
year was approximately.6.1 million tons.(6)
3) In 1968, approximately 10% of the world's tin production was used in the
manufacture of cans in this country.(7) Known global reserves at the current
(1972) consumption rate will last for about 17 years.(8)
4) The packaging industry consumed 60,000 tons of lead.in 1968.(9) Most of it
was used to solder seams in tinplate cans.(10) This lead contributes to lead in
landfill leachate. Known global reserves of lead (1970) will last for about
26 years. (8Y
WHEREAS, throwaway containers contribute heavily to solid waste.
A ban or deposit on throwaway beverage containers would reduce the estimated
number of beverage units entering Minnesota landfills in 1973 by 90% - from about
874 million units to about 90 million. This would mean an equivalent reduction
in solid waste of 12,258 truckloads per year of an average 15 cubic yard garbage
• truck.(12)
z) About 6.2 billion pounds of municipal waste was generated in Minnesota in
1972. It cost about $62 million to collect, transport and dispose of.it.(11)
Resolution
Page 2 .
WHEREAS, the use of, returnable containers will decrease unsightly litter.
The University of Dallas graduate school of Management conducted a study,
also an item count, which found that 34% of roadside litter was throwaway
beverage containers.
A study by the Oregon Highway Department found that 62% by volume of roadside
litter was bottles and cans.. Since Oregon passed their deposit legislation, they
have decreased litter from soft drinks and beer containers by 90 %.
A can or bottle having a cash value is less likely to be thrown or remain
as litter along highways, in parks, or residential areas.
WHEREAS, the use of returnable containers will decrease the cost of the product.
Example: Six 12 -ounce cans of "coke" cost $1.55.. Eight 16 -ounce returnable
bottles of "coke" cost $1.59 (deposit included). For � more you -get 54 ounces
more "coke" in the returnables. (Lund's.Food- Market shelf prices, January 18,
1975)
Note: The switch to the use of aluminum cans instead of steel contributes
to a higher cost. The energy required to produce metal for an aluminum beer can
is 6.3 times that needed for a steel beer can. (Pg. 115,-AUDUBON, January, 1975).
WHEREAS, recycling is not a.good substitute for reusing the container.
Recycling has been and continues to be a viable means of returning needed
materials to production. The Edina Recycling Center provides a most beneficial
service to the community in this regard.
Recycling, however, should not bethought of as a long -term solution to
energy and natural resource problems nor should it be justification for no deposit -
no return bottles and cans.
There are many thousands of Minnesota stores that sell pop and beer in
throwaways but less than perhaps 10 depots,for their return in the metropolitan
area.
WHEREAS, a shift to re- usable containers would involve a shift in jobs and
industrial production, Professor Hugh Folk of the University of Illinois, in his
study of the effects of a conversion of the.beverage container system to returnables
in Illinois, found a net increase of 6,500 jobs.(13)
THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED that the Edina Environmental Quality Commission
recommends to the Edina City Council that it make known to the Governor of the
State of Minnesota and to the State Legislature that the City of Edina supports
and recommends.legislation that will provide for the use of-only returnable and
reuseable containers (with refundable deposit) for all soft drinks and beer sold
in Minnesota.

Edina Recycling Center
Background
The Edina Recycling Center first opened in 1970 at the Southdale Red Owl store.
The center was operated by various civic groups which in turn received the
proceeds from the sale of the recycled material to the Metropolitan Recycling
Center. The center was open one Saturday monthly and at first accepted only
glass for recycling. Later, cans, aluminum, and newspapers were also accepted.
In March, 1973, the Edina Recycling Council was formed. This Council was
comprised of members of several Edina civic groups and was responsible for
coordinating the recycling effort in Edina. At that time, the center moved to
5121 Brookside Avenue, its present location, and opened every Saturday from
10:00 A.M. to 3:00 P.M. The center continued to be manned by volunteer groups.
Recently, the Edina Recycling Commission was established by the City for the
purpose of assisting and advising the Council on matters relating to the
establishment and operation of a recycling center. This commission is comprised
mainly of those individuals formerly associated with the Edina Recycling Council.
Summary of Current. Operation
The recycling center continues to accept recycled material every Saturday
from 10:00 A.M. to 3:00 P.M. A volunteer group such as the Camp Fire Girls,
the Boy Scouts, the Garden Club, or the League of Women Voters, mans the center
each Saturday and receives the profits from the center. Members of.the Recycling
Commission assist the group each Saturday without pay.
Metro Recycling, a branch of the Occupational Training Center, provides semi-
trailers which the volunteer groups load with aluminum, cans, and glass material.
Metro Recycling hauls the material from the center to their facility in St. Paul
where handicapped individuals are employed to process the material.
Diversified insulation, Inc. provides semi - trailers which the groups load with
newspaper. Diversified Insulation hauls the newspaper to its factory in Hamel,
Nii.nnesota, where it is shredded for insulation.
Materials Received at the Center
T:Re recycling center currently receives approximately 16,500 pounds of newspaper
and 6,600 pounds of aluminum, cans, and glass each Saturday. In addition, the
center accepts crankcase oil and cardboard for recycling. During the last six
months of 1974, the money received from the sale of the recycled materials to
Metro Recycling and Diversified Insulation averaged $142.00 each Saturday.
Edina Recycling Center, page 2
Current Public Participation
On October 19 and 26 and also on November 2, 1974, members of the Recycling
Commission surveyed the public participation in the recycling center. It was
determined that the center serves between 2,250 and 2,750 people. Each Saturday,
200 -250 cars come to the center.
Proposal for Future Operation of the Recycling Center
After reviewing in detail the current operation of the center, the Edina Recycling
Commission has concluded that:
1. Although the center serves a substantial number of Edina residents, this
number has remained fairly constant during the past year.
2. The large number of people frequenting the center each Saturday (about
one car per minute) has resulted in traffic congestion around the center.
It has also become difficult for the volunteer groups to keep pace with the
volume of material received.
3. Public participation can best be improved and congestion reduced by opening
the center during weekdays.
The Recycling Commission recommends that:
1.. The center remain at 5121 Brookside Avenue.
2. The center continue to accept glass, aluminum, cans, newspaper, cardboard,
and crankcase oil for recycling.
3. Starting March 15, 1975, in addition to five hours Saturday, the center
should open from 2:00 to 5:00 P.M. daily, Monday through Friday.
4. One part -time individual should be employed by the City to man the center
Monday through Friday and act as a supervisor on Saturdays.
5. Volunteer groups should continue to man the center on Saturday.
6. The City enter into the attached agreements with the Occupational Training
Center and Diversified Insulation, Inc., who have agreed to locate recycling
trailers at the center during the week and on weekends, empty them as
necessary, and compensate the City for the recycled materials. These
documents have been agreed to in concept by the aforementioned firms.
7. The volunteer group manning the center each Saturday should receive 1/3 of
the weekly gross income for their services. Presently this would amount
to about $50.00 per week. The remainder of the income (about $100.00
weekly) will go to the City to pay the part -time employee ($60.00 weekly)
and for maintenance costs.

PURCHASE OF UTILITIES BODIES AND CRANE
On January 2, 1975, the City ordered two 3/4 ton cab and
chasis pickups, one for the sewer department and one for the water
department. These vehicles have no *a been received by the City; and
to prepare them for service, we must now install the needed utility
bodies and crane.
Therefore, the City has asked for and received quotations
on these items from the following:
E. Hoiby Body Company
Charles Olson & Sons, Inc.

It is interesting to note that with the slightest variation
of body design, Charles Olson becomes very adept at changing prices;
however, it is felt that the Lalass body and crane does meet our speoif i-
cations; and we would, therefore, recoaLnend an award to the La..aos Company
for the purchase of two bodies and one crane for a total of $2,848.

COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT PLAN SUMMARY
(STATEMENT OF NEEDS)
INSTRUCTIONS: Within the space provided and in the format given below, summarize the applicanNs community development
needs, quantified where possible, and indicate the data source on which they are based; i.e. Census, Capital Improvement
Program, Special Local Surveys or Plans, etc. The needs shall be numbered consecutively; i.e., A -1, A -2, A -3, A-4, etc.
Attach additional pages as necessary. Specifically described those community development needs having a particular urgency
which, are referred to in Assurance 10.
A"1 Scattered throughout Edina a number of very aged houses exist which do not
meet modern plumbing or electrical codes and'pose a threat to the inhabitants as well
as the City. In three'(3) concentrated areas (shown on attached map addendum A -1)
there exists the majority of low income families and overcrowding in the City. In
one of these concentrated areas, 21% of the people live in overcrowded conditions,
and in another of these areas, 51% of the homes were built before 1939. The average
income in these three areas is approximately 60% of the remaining average Edina income.
The goal is to improve the housing stock and general living conditions in these areas
by providing useable open space and park facilities and general rehabilitation of
homes.
Data Source: U.S. Census,' .Building Department interview.
A -2 The.Village of Morningside and the Village of Edina merged in 1966. At the
time of that merger Morningside had deteriorated streets, sidewalks, water systems,
lacking and deteriorated storm sewer systems as well as 14 single family home zoning
violations and an old housing stock. Most homes (51.3 %)were built prior to 1939,
as were most of the public facilities. Also, most homes are owner occupied, many by
the elderly on social security (15.9 %). More than $3,000,000 is needed for public
streets and utilities alone. In connection with those improvements, housing
rehabilitation, new housing, code enforcement, improved recreational facilities and
other community development facilities are needed.
Data Source:U.S. Census, Eng. Feasibility Study, preliminary inventory at time of merger.
A�3 Traffic congestion, lack of adequate parking, underused land areas, faulty
building arrangement, and commercial encroachment on residential areas are current
problems in the 50th and France business district (shown on attached map addendum A -3).
Over the past 30 years a wide variety of studies and plans have been presented to City
officials, merchants and residents, with an equally wide range of possible solutions.
Most of them have been discarded because of financial considerations or the absence of
a comprehensive solution to the area -wide problems. As a result of this inaction,
blight and deterioration have appeared in the project area. The elimination of these
conditions can only be achieved through the implementation of a comprehensive area -wide
plan which will solve the many interrelated problems caused by the compactness of the
area and the number of different functions.which ,take place within it.

A►- 4 It is the desire of.the City of Edina, through their Park and Recreation Dept.,
to provide a complete recreation program for their senior citizens. The goal to provid
assistance to this particular group becomes very meaningful when recognized that Edina
has the third largest number of elderly persons below the poverty level in Hennepin
County. The pursuit of this goal will allow the senior citizens to keep active both
socially and educationally. Keeping the seniors active and alert and providing a forum
for meeting new people or restructuring their lives in a positive manner after the
loss of their spouse also are incorporated in this goal. Finally, providing a physical
setting for these goals to best be enjoyed is a necessity for the success of this
program.

A75 A previous Edina Needs Statement regarding the desire to rehabilitate
dwellings, especially in certain concentrated areas, identified facts which
showed overcrowding and low income characteristics (shown on attached map addendum
A -1). In these areas expanded recreation and useable open space needs are also
present. The public provision of free neighborhood facilities will be most used
in these areas as the transportational opportunities are more limited than in_other
parts of the city.
Data Source: Census, Capital Improvement Program.
A►'6 The City of Edina is rapidly approaching the point of full development, having
only about 50 of its total area undeveloped. As a result, it is essential that the
open space areas, especially those along creeks and.ponds, be retained by the City
and be improved for free public use as well as managed for natural resource
preservation. Such environmental` improvements within the City of Edina provide
needed outdoor opportunities to those individuals unable to travel to more
unpopulated areas because of health or economics. It is further essential that the.
quality of the City's water and air are maintained or improved to provide a healthful
and pleasing environment for all of the City's residents.

COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT PLAN SUMMARY
(STATEMENT OF NEEDS)
INSTRUCTIONS: Within the space provided and in the format given below, summarize the applicant's community development
needs, quantified where possible, and indicate the data source on which they are, based; i.e. Census, Capital Improvement
Program, Special Local Surveys or Plans, etc. The needs shall be numbered consecutively; i.e., A -1, A -2, A -3, A-4, etc.
Attach additional pages as necessary. Specifically described those community development needs having a particular urgency
which are referred to in Assurance 10.
A-7 The City of Edina recognizes that priorities and needs exist on a national,
state, metropolitan, as well as on a local level. The implementation of these
goals often is mandated to the local level of government. Capital improvement
expenditures and changes in the Comprehensive Community Plan are often the result
of such mandates. To more fully comply with these national, state, and metropolitan
goals Edina, therefore, incorporates these needs into this general statement of local
needs.
Existing national, state, and Twin Cities Metropolitan Council laws,
Data Source: regulations, and policies.
A- g
At present there exists a limited number of programs for the physically and
mentally handicapped within the City of Edina. Programs administered or
coordinated by the City recreation department are in need of specialized educational
and recreational equipment. Further, there is a need to expand existing programs to
more fully provide a satisfying social and educational environment for the handicapped.

COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT PLAN SUMMARY
(LONG -TERn9 OBJECTIVES)
INSTRUCTIONS: Within the space provided and in the format given below, state long -term objectives designed, in whole cr in
.part, to address the applicants' identified community development needs. Long term objectives are those requiring mere than
3 years for accomplishment. The long -term objectives shall be numbered consecutively; i.e., B-1, B -2, B -3, B -4, etc. Attach
additional pages as necessary.
01 The application of innovative planning and funding to areas now showing signs of
early or limited deterioration will halt the spread and intensification of such problems.
Edina should document existing problems, as done in the 50th and France Commercial
Area, and include positive steps to take toward the elimination of blight. These
plans should include whatever code enforcement, social, housing, recreational, public
works or other factors which will aid in the cure of the source of blight as well as
the treatment of physical evidence.
Supports Needs) No: A -1, A -3, A -7
B -2 The lower income areas of the community require special emphasis on low cost
recreational activities and a more periodic replacement of recreational facilities.
Normally assessed improvement projects such as utilities must be subsidized if
necessary to be constructed to prevent deterioration of public facilities which will
lead to general neighborhood deterioration. The need for these facilities (recreational
utilities, public works, other governmental) should be studied where not already
studied, and plans for the necessary programs and facilities should be produced and
implemented at the lowest possible direct cost to the resident.
Supports Need(s) No: A -2, A -5, A -6, A -7.
B-3 While the commitment to provide improved.living and learning conditions'
to the mentally and physically handicapped and to the elderly has been a goal and
program for years, the vehicles to provide these goals have until recently been
elusive. With space now available for these activities and staff hired to carry on
a program, the acquisition of necessary but expensive equipment is all that precludes
the city from having a very beneficial program. The availability and quality of this
service will encourage more to participate, justifying our staff efforts in this area.

COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT PLAN SUMMARY
(SHORT -TERM OBJECTIVES)
INSTRUCTIONS: Within the space provided and in the format given below, describe objectives designed to make mess_-ab:e
progress against the identified community development needs, over a period of up to 3 years. Wherever possible the s^.: -:-;-a
objectives should include measurable factors, such as quantity, quality, or a combination of these, and must describe :.`.e
general location of activities to be carried out to meet the objective. The short -term objectives shall be numbered
.i.e., C -1, C -2, C -3, C-4, etc. Attach additional pages as necessary.
C -1 The improvement of the existing housing stock in the City of Edina would be
accomplished through an interest subsidized and /or grant rehabilitation program for
those households meeting income eligibility requirements. Working with local banks,
the program would attempt to subsidize improvements to approximately 20 -40 housing
units each year. The use of these rehabilitation funds would necessitate the applicant.
bringing these housing units up to code requirements and would further encourage the
use of insulation in all housing units for energy conservation purposes. It is
expected that the rehabilitation efforts will primarily take place in three areas:
Morningside (Census Tract 231), the Alden Park area (Census Tract 235.01 -3), and the
Beard - Chowen Park area (Census Tract 238.02).
Supports Need(s) No: A -1
C -2 In order to delineate the amount and type of public and private improvements
needed in the.Morningside area, it is necessary that a thorough inventory of all existing .
facilities be made. This inventory should include but not be limited to an assessment
of the following:.the existing housing stock, the size and condition of.all public
utilities and roadways, the size and useability of parks and other public facilities,
and the needs of the residents themselves. After compilation of the necessary data
and with active community participation, a neighborhood improvement plan would be
formulated. The plan will place particular emphasis on housing rehabilitation and
assistance to the elderly in their housing needs as well as improvement in the
public services offered to them.
A portion of the improvement program will be assessed to property owners in the
area, with the city expected to have a one -half million dollar outlay. Other sources
of funding such as tax increment financing, - Federal Aid to Urban Systems or other
local funds may be necessary to make the program feasible.
Supports Heed(s) No: A-2
C -3 The Edina H.R.A. has recently received approval for and has started the
implementation of a comprehensive redevelopment program in the 50th and France area.
The project will involve the construction of an additional 300 parking stalls, and
the modification of the traffic circulation system to allow for a more efficient
flow through the elimination of all on- street parking and the installation and
coordination of all traffic signals. Space will be provided and has been allocated
for retail and office expansion and a more pedestrian- oriented shopping area has
been sought through the inclusion of more pedestrian places and a semi -mall
treatment for West 50th Street. The program will provide a more attractive
physical and economic environment within the neighborhood shopping center concept,
thereby attempting to increase the viability and variety of goods and services
offered. All blighting influences will be corrected by acquisition or code enforce-
ment. Twenty percent of the project will be financed through a special assessment
to property owners, and tax increment bonds and other local and federal sources will
fund the remainder.

C•4 With the.completion of the 265 unit Yorktown Continental apartments for the
elderly, a community room was leased to the City of Edina in which recreational and
social activities could take place. The community room is open to all elderly
residents within the City of Edina and is staffed by City personnel. The 7,000
square foot area was, however, not furnished. As a result of this the type and
amount of programs that can be initiated are very minimal. The need exists for
furniture, crafts, recreational supplies and other very basic utensils for the
elderly. The program has 450 paid members who lack the financial ability to pay
for the complete furnishing of the room.
A similar program has been initiated for the mentally and physically handicapped
which has the facility and staff, but inadequate equipment.
Supports Need(s) No:
C -5 Within the City the need exists to upgrade the amount and type of equipment
in some of the city parks. Recognizing this need, the Park and Recreation Department
has initiated a Capital Improvements Program to meet these needs. The location of
these parks is in close proximity to areas of overcrowded or lower income people.
Among parks qualifying are Weber, Alden, Beard and Chowen. The importance in
improving these facilities is of general benefit to the public and further broadens
the range of "free" activities in.which any individual may participate.
Especially in line with this thinking is the proposed improvement for the Lake
Cornelia area. This project will involve the establishment of a bike trail and
the use of the lake for more free recreational activities.
Supports Need(s) iIo:
C-6 In order to comply with the regulations of the Minnesota Pollution Control
Agency it. is necessary to install a iron removal backwash facility to the city's
water treatment plant. The facility would help to insure that the chemical
composition of the streams and waters in the area are maintained at a safe level.

EXPLANATION OF SELECTION OF GENERAL LOCATIONS
1. NEW CONSTRUCTION
The only new construction would take place at the corner of 51st and France
in the form of a small building for the elderly. The location is in immediate
proximity to a sizeable neighborhood shopping center which offers a full range
of goods and services for elderly residents. Further, the area is adjacent to
two major bus routes allowing easy accessibility to other parts of the
metropolitan area. The area is also in proximity to several churches, to a
medical clinic and other elderly housing areas.

REHABILITATION
Eligibility will be based on income with expected areas of concentration in
Census Tracts 231, 235.01 -3, 238.02, where there exists a greater proportion of
lower income people with an aging existing housing stock. (See Addendum A -1)
3.
Existing
Existing housing will be located in multi - family housing units. Vacant units
of this type are found in sufficient number and are scattered throughout the
City of Edina to prohibit any concentration of them in one area.

A RESOLUTION THAT.ALL.SOFT DRINKS. AND BEER
BE SOLD IN RETURNABLE CONTAINERS WITH A.REFUNDABLE DEPOSIT
WHEREAS, the use of returnable containers will save on energy.
To manufacture a new bottle or can uses up energy and raw materials;
reusing the container involves little additional energy and no new materials.
4.4 times more energy is required to package. beverage in 15 throwaways than
to refill a returnable 15 times.(1) National average is 19 trips per returnable.
Use of all returnable beverage containers in 1971 would have saved roughly
the energy equivalent of 23 million gallons of oil in Minnesota alone.(2)
Approximately 967 million cubic feet of natural gas could have been saved.
in Minnesota in 1971 with a ban on thr6waways.(3)
The beverage industry's energy requirement in 1970 could have been reduced
by 55% with the exclusive use of returnables.(4)
WHEREAS, the use of returnable containers will conserve our natural resources.
More cans were produced for soft drinks and beer in the first five months
of 1972 than for all other human foods combined.(4)
In 1971, 5.6 million tons -of. steel were consumed in the manufacture of steel
cans, (5) while steel used for the manufacture of all home applicances for that
year was approximately 6.1 million tons.(6)
In 1968, approximately 10% of the world's tin production was used in the
manufacture of cans in this country.(7). Known global reserves at the current
(1972) consumption rate will last for about 17 years.(8)
...The packaging industry consumed 60,000 tons of lead in 1968.(9) Most of it
was used to solder seams in tinplate cans.(10) This lead contributes to lead in
landfill leachate. Known global reserves of lead (1970) will last for about
26 years.(8)
WHEREAS, throwaway containers contribute heavily to solid waste.
A ban or deposit on throwaway beverage containers would reduce the estimated
number of beverage units entering Minnesota landfills in 1973 by 90% - from about
874 million units to about 90 million. This would mean an equivalent reduction
in solid waste of 12,258 truckloads per year of an average 15 cubic yard garbage
truck. (12)
About 6.2 billion pounds of.municipal'waste,was generated in Minnesota in
1972. It cost about $62 million to collect,.transport and dispose of it.(11)
Resolution
Page 2 .
WHEREAS, the use of returnable containers will decrease unsightly litter.
The University of Dallas graduate school of Management conducted a study,
also an item count, which found that 34% of .roadside litter was throwaway
beverage containers.
A study by the Oregon Highway Department found that 62% by volume of roadside
litter was bottles and cans. Since Oregon passed their deposit legislation, they
have decreased litter from soft drinks and beer containers by 90 %.
A can or bottle having a cash value is less likely to be thrown or remain .
as litter along highways, in parks, or residential areas.
WHEREAS, the use of returnable containers will decrease the cost of the product.
Example: Six 12 -ounce cans of "coke" cost $1.55.. Eight 16 -ounce returnable.
bottles of "coke" .cost $1.59 (deposit included). For 4,� more.you get 54 ounces
more "coke" in the returnables. . (Lund's Food:Market shelf prices, January 18,
1975) .
Note: The switch to the use of aluminum cans instead of.steel contributes
to a higher cost. The energy required to produce metal for•an aluminum beer can
is 6 A.times that needed for a steel beer can.. (Pg.. 115, AUDUBON, January, 1975).
WHEREAS, recycling is not a good substitute.for reusing the container.
Recycling has been and continues to be a viable means of returning needed
materials to production. The Edina Recycling Center provides a most beneficial
service to the community in this regard.
Recycling, however, should not be thought of as a long -term solution to
energy and natural resource problems nor should it be justification for no deposit-
no return bottles and cans.
There are many thousands of Minnesota stores that sell pop and beer in
throwaways but less than perhaps 10 depots for their return in the metropolitan
area.
WHEREAS,.a shift to re- usable containers would involve a shift in jobs and
industrial production, Professor Hugh Folk of the University of Illinois, in his
study of the effects of a conversion of the beverage container system to returnables
in Illinois, found a net increase of 6,500 jobs.(13)
THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED that.'the Edina Environmental Quality Commission
recommends to the Edina City Council that it make known to the Governor of,the
State of Minnesota and to the State Legislature that the City of Edina supports
and recommends legislation that will.provide for the use of only returnable and
reuseable containers (with refundable deposit) for all soft drinks and beer sold
in Minnesota.

HENNEPIN COUNTY BICENTENNIAL PLANNING COMMISSION
W. Ed Mansfield, Chairperson
Emily Ann Staples, Vice Chairperson
February 25, 1975
TO: Municipal Clerks, Hennepin County
FROM: . W. Ed Mansfield, Chairperson
SUBJECT: Bicentennial Affiliate Program
In an effort to determine the Bicentennial activities and interest
in each of the municipalities of Hennepin County, we are asking for your assistance.
BACKGROUND
In October, 1974, each municipality received an invitation to become an affiliate
of Hennepin County's Bicentennial designation in order to encourage each community's
participation in the 200th commemoration of the founding of America, as well as to
share this Bicentennial designation's privileges: being recognized as a Bicentennial
community and authorized to fly the Bicentennial flag and to use the Bicentennial logo.
The Affiliate Program offers all benefits and privileges as does the national program
regarding designation; however, program development spans only one thematic panel
in the Affiliate Program compared to development in the three thematic panels in
the national program.
We have sent each community materials on organization and guidelines for affiliate
application. Also we telephoned municipalities in late November* to determine
Bicentennial activities and answer any questions. Since then, we have heard from
a number of communities stating their intention to affiliate. Each community is
encouraged to have some Bicentennial activities as well as participate in the county -wide
activities.
For your information, another copy of "Affiliate Guidelines" is attached. You will
note that MARCH 14 is a deadline for interested municipalities to become affiliates.
*(There were a few municipalities impossible to reach,.)

NEEDED
We ask that you please either complete the attached form regarding Bicentennial
activities in your community or forward to the Bicentennial group in your community
to complete. Would you please ensure the completion of this form and its return to
us by MARCH 14. (This form is in addition to an affiliate application also due MARCH 14. )
HAPPENINGS
The Hennepin County Bicentennial Planning Commission has been meeting regularly
and is making progress in defining a Bicentennial Program in Hennepin County.
At its February 13 meeting, the Commission approved the first portion of its Bicentennial
Program. This will go to the County Board for its approval.
There are still many opportunities and need for community involvement in the planning,
implementing and enjoying of the total Bicentennial program.
Some areas where the County Bicentennial Commission will be asking municipalities .
for aid are:
Heritage Panel: To fully and truly document the history of Hennepin
County and its residents, what can your community
offer? Are there histories of your community
available? Are there oral histories? Photographs?
Old newspapers? etc. (The University of Minnesota
and the Minnesota Historical Society is sponsoring
a Local History Workshop on Friday and Saturday,
April 11 and 12. For further information please call
either Judy Martin, 373 -4617 or Gwen Green at the
Hennepin County Bicentennial Planning Commission,
372-1776.)
Festivals Panel: To focus county -wide participation in the opening of
the new Government and Medical Centers, municipalities
will be invited to bring a Bicentennial program /activity
to the Government Center in 1976. Is your community
interested? Will it need help in organizing such
an activity ?
Horizons Panel: To assess the values and needs of the county,, seminars
and forums will be held to discuss contemporary
problems and find solutions. What are the values /needs/
problems of your community? How do they relate
to the wider county?
Municipal Clerks -3- February 25, 1975
BICENTENNIAL MEMORABILIA
Only designated Bicentennial communities have authorization to buy and fly the
Bicentennial flag as well as the Bicentennial logo. The Hennepin County Bicentennial
Planning Commission would like to order en masse such memorabilia to make
available to its affiliates for Emd raising, etc. Would your community be interested?
TOWN MEETINGS
Included herewith is some information about "Town Meeting '76:' This project is
sponsored by the Institute of Cultural Affairs. Your community might be interested
in this project. On March 8 a meeting will be held at Whittier School, 2609 Blaisdell
Avenue South, in Minneapolis to demonstrate the Town Meeting format.
In April, the Hennepin County Bicentennial Planning Commission will sponsor a
Bicentennial workshop for affiliate municipalities and various community organizations.
At this time, the Bicentennial flag and certificate of affiliate designation will be
presented.
The Bicentennial in Hennepin County hopes to be representative of its total population.
To effect this, it needs the input of each and every municipality.
Let us all join together in planning the Bicentennial AND the beginning of America's
third century in Hennepin County.

of construction performed on West 70th Street between the MN &S Railroad and

costs. Mrs. Virginia Bodine of the Recycling Commission spoke in favor of the

members of the State Legislature to support modifications-based upon said study;

and investigation is required before such a study can be realistically utilized
by the Legislature;

costs. Mrs. Virginia Bodine of the Recycling Commission spoke in favor of the
