Hennepin County Board — Hennepin County offers recycling carrot
Updated: November 24, 2011
Minneapolis StarTribune — West Metro
Kevin Duchschere
With more aggressive state recycling targets just around the corner, Hennepin County has
developed a new recycling funding program to make it easier for cities to recycle more things than
ever before.
The biggest impact will be on the county's single biggest garbage producer, Minneapolis -- which,
officials say, is not recycling nearly as much as it should.
Under a policy that's expected to win final approval from the County Board next week, single- or
double -sort recycling -- rather than the elaborate multi -sort model that Minneapolis uses -- will be the
standard for participating cities. Most, if not all, suburbs already do that.
Single -sort requires no sorting of recycling materials at all, and double -sort means simply separating
paper from other items.
The county program also is expanding the kinds of acceptable recyclables to include juice and milk
cartons and more rigid plastic containers.
The immediate goal, said county Environmental Services Director Carl Michaud, is to boost
communities to an average of 725 pounds of recycling per household annually.
The new policy is based on the feedback county officials got from city officials. "The one thing we did
hear was that we should make it easier to recycle, they wanted to recycle more materials, they
wanted less sorting and they wanted more education," Michaud told the County Board last week.
Communities won't be penalized for not following the county policy. But for those that do, the county
awards thousands in funds that it gets from the state for recycling efforts. The funds are allocated to
cities based on the number of households that get curbside recycling service.
This year, Hennepin County gave $2.9 million to cities for recycling. Last year, about 100,000 tons of
recycling were collected from 345,000 households throughout the county. The county spends about
$7 million annually on recycling, including the state funding.
But the county's recycling rate is 38 percent. Under the Minnesota Pollution Control Agency's long-
range solid waste plan, Hennepin County should be recycling at least 45 percent of its municipal
waste by 2015. That's 132,000 tons of waste.
Steve Kotke, Minneapolis' public works director, on Tuesday will recommend to the City Council that
the city explore switching to a single- or dual -sort system. The city has conducted a couple of pilot
programs this year in neighborhoods to test simpler sorting; most other cities already have turned to
it, he said.
"We have our own sustainability goals, and we also are putting some aggressive goals in place to
get our recycling up," he said.
Page 8
Besides, Kotke added, the city got $880,000 from the county this year. "That's certainly a big carrot,"
he said.
Minneapolis is among the bottom quarter of the county's cities in terms of recycling. That's partly
because it has more renters, but also because of the multi -sort system that residents have used for
20 years. The system sorts everything separately, ensuring that unclean objects don't contaminate
others and therefore make them impossible to recycle.
Minneapolis has "arguably as complicated a recycling system as any in the Western Hemisphere,"
Commissioner Peter McLaughlin, who represents south Minneapolis, said this summer.
"No more of this eight bags for eight different things," said County Board Chair Mike Opat, who
represents a portion of north Minneapolis.
But recycling processing technology has made significant strides in recent years, making possible
contamination less of a problem than it used to be. City officials now believe that simpler sorting will
increase Minneapolis' amount of recycling.
The county's efforts to increase recycling also will include more public education, Michaud said. Print
materials will be distributed, presentations will be made and tours will be offered of recycling
facilities, he said. There are plans to use social media to get the word out.
"We need to re-energize the public a little bit and try to do that with some of the efforts that we're
making ... coupled with the simplification that Commissioner Opat talked about," McLaughlin said
last week. "Data across the country is pretty clear that if you make it simpler, people will recycle
more."

Suburban Transit Association and Legislative Update by Sherry Munyon, Capitol Access
and STA Representative
Sherry Munyon confirmed that the State legislature has reduced transportation funding by $51.8
million for the 2012-2013 biennium, which is less than half of the original proposed reduction of
$109 million. The Metropolitan Council intends to capture $7.2 million dollars from the
suburban transit providers (STP) reserves to benefit Metropolitan Council.
As part of this legislation, the Metropolitan Council has made a commitment to Governor
Dayton, that there will be no loss of jobs, no service reductions and no regional fare increase—
Metropolitan Council will withhold MVST from suburban providers that have fund balances
larger than the Metropolitan Council Policy on fund balances.
Sherry Munyon commented that any documents are draft only as funding amounts are still
changing. The Metropolitan Council's lack of communication to the providers has created a void
in which decisions will be difficult to arrive and implementation may be unnecessarily delayed.
Council Member Bildsoe would like to know what position our Metropolitan Council
Representative took in these negotiations, what future plans exist for STP growth, the status of
the $20 million bonding bill that was attached but not funded, and what amount of MVST will be
redistributed to the STPs. He commented that it appears that the Metropolitan Council's goal is
to solely fund their Metro Transit routes, at the expense of the suburban routes.
Transit Manager Hellekson commented that there are staff, legislators and other leaders who are
still trying to make this work for the STPs. She also mentioned that the City of Minnetonka, an
opt -out city that contracts with Metropolitan Council for service, previously requested an
accounting of the funds attributed to the City of Minnetonka. Metropolitan Council did respond
to the City of Minnetonka, but it is still nebulous.
Committee Member Bliss passed control of the meeting to Chair Wosje, who just arrived at the
meeting.
Plymouth Metrolink Transit Operations and Maintenance RFP Update
Transit Manager Hellekson stated that on July 12, 2011, the Plymouth City Council approved a
five- year contract, to begin December 4, 2011, with First Transit, Inc, for the operation and
maintenance of Plymouth Metrolink.
Review Annual Transit Data Review
Transit Coordinator Maciej reviewed the May through July 2011 Customer Service Log.
Transit Coordinator Maciej reviewed the first and second quarters of monitored transit
complaints, customer service log, data and graphs. The logged complaints appear to be
consistent in each period annually.

Plymouth Advisory Committee on Transit 7-27-2011 Minutes
Page 11
Transit Coordinator Maciej presented the Metrolink Transit Performance Measurements.
Committee Member Gustafson asked if consideration had been given to compressing some
routes, while still being able to achieve on-time turnarounds. Transit Coordinator Maciej replied
that at the peak of the peak, it is important to have as many buses on the road, as possible.
Compressing the very early and late routes could result in riders feeling underserved or a lack of
perceived travel options.
Committee Member Scherschligt asked if there has been any further discussion on bus
advertising. Transit Manager Hellekson said that will be discussed in the joint City Council study
session on transit operations.
Chair Wosje noted that there were a number of complaints related to the operation of the air
conditioning units on the buses. First Transit Manager replied that the air conditioners were
quickly repaired.
Identify areas of concern and recommendations
First Transit Representative Buharin thanked the City of Plymouth for the award of the Transit
contract. First Transit appreciates the relationship with Plymouth and the riders.
Transit Manager Hellekson and Transit Coordinator Maciej attended a national training seminar
on intelligent transportation systems and communications. Manager Hellekson commented that
First Transit Representatives Baldwin and Buharin received very favorable and complimentary
comments from a Metro Transit employee. The City of Plymouth appreciates the high quality,
reliable service provided by First Transit.
Other Business
Council Member Bildsoe discussed the City Council study session currently scheduled for
September 13, 2011, to discuss transit operations. Council Member Bildsoe will talk to the City
Manager to schedule a later date to allow Council Member Bildsoe to attend. Council Member
Bildsoe will communicate the rescheduled date to staff. The City Council/PACT joint study
session will be held on a Tuesday. Council Member Bildsoe will request that the appointed
representative to the Metropolitan Council be invited to attend the City Council study session.
At that meeting, Council Member Bildsoe would like to explore the larger view of transit in
Plymouth, the financial perspective, and ridership data. Council Member Bildsoe also requested
a discussion of revenue projections, financial modeling, priorities for transit, and the areas for
Plymouth to project and grow. Council Member Bildsoe requested that staff report to the City
Council at this meeting the status of discussions with the City of Minnetonka.
