Organics Recycling
Discuss Hennepin County's proposal to revise Ordinance 13 to require organics recycling and the impact
to the City of Plymouth.
2. BACKGROUND:
The City's residential recycling program is funded, in part, by the Select Committee on Recycling and the
Environment (SCORE) funds past from the State, through Hennepin County. SCORE funds are based on
revenue received by the State from the solid waste management tax on garbage services and funding levels
are determined by the Hennepin County Residential Recycling Funding Policy. Hennepin County has
determined that curbside collection of traditional recyclables and organics from Hennepin County residents
is an effective strategy to reduce reliance on landfills, prevent pollution, conserve natural resources and
energy, improve public health, support the economy, and reduce greenhouse gases. To that end, Hennepin
County's Residential Recycling Funding Policy 2017-2022 modified the SCORE funding distribution such that
it be split between households where traditional materials (cardboard, aluminum, etc.) and organics are
collected. Hennepin County proposes to revise Ordinance 13 and require cities to provide residents the
opportunity to recycle organics by 2022.
Current status of Plymouth organics recycling programming
At regularly scheduled meetings in May, June, August, September, and November of 2017, EQC reviewed
and discussed different aspects of organics collection including a presentation from an expert speaker,
collection options, items included in service, and cost of services. Direction to the EQC included that an
organics program should be voluntary, all residents should not have to fund an organics program, there
should not be extra trucks on roads, and subsidies should be utilized if possible.
The EQC worked through a decision matrix which assists in organizing stakeholder concerns, constraints to
operating a program, decisions to be made, and ultimately recommended a series of measured steps
including the following:
Promoting organics as a voluntary option for residents beginning in 2018.
Residents shall contract for organics collection directly through their trash hauler.
Trash haulers can voluntarily offer organics collection and trash haulers have the freedom to choose
how to implement organics collection rather than making organics collection a condition of the trash
hauler license. The EQC recommends against additional trucks for organics service.
Page 1
• The EQC recommended the City provide promotion and education on organics collection.
Per the EQC recommendations staff has taken the following steps:
• Staff has contacted trash haulers and advised them of the organics programming promotion by the City.
• Staff has established an organics recycling page on the City website and lists trash haulers who provide
organics collection by name.
• Staff has issued a news release on organics recycling.
• Staff has attended the City Sampler and has made presentations to over 10 local third grade classes to
which has included the benefits organics recycling.
• Staff has produced and distributed a utility bill insert promoting organics recycling.
The City most recently issued trash hauler licenses in March 2018 to eight private haulers who provide
residential trash collection service. Of the eight, one hauler provides curbside organics collection and has
seen their organics collection customer base grow from 149 in December 2017 to 227 in May 2018 which is
0.9% of the residential curbside collection customer base.
Further, City residents can currently compost organics at home provided they comply with City Code Section
600.22.
Considerations for future organics programming
In 2017, staff reached out to neighboring communities (Minnetonka, St. Louis Park, Wayzata, Bloomington)
and inquired about organics recycling in their communities. The operation of programs in neighboring
communities can vary considerably but generally includes the components listed below.
Component Options for implementation
Participation Voluntary/Opt-In/Opt-Out/All-In
Container Type/Separation Cart/Kitchen Container/Blue Bag
Collection Method Organized/Unorganized
Collection Frequency Weekly
Billing Method Vendor Bill/City Utility Bill
# Vendors Unlimited/Consortium/Limited (Quadrats)/Single
Education Vendor/County/City
Lastly, the cost for organics recycling can be difficult to ascertain as the cost is often included in the total of
solid waste fees collected by an individual community. However, when offered separately as an opt -in
service the fee for collection in two communities ranged from $3.33/mo. to $7.42/mo. depending upon level
of service. For comparison, our current Solid Waste Utility Fee is $5.00/mo.

Last November, after extensive stakeholder engagement, the Hennepin County Board of Commissioners
adopted the county's solld waste management master plan. The plan focuses on organics recycling as a
way to make progress toward state goals and zero waste to landfills. In accordance with the plan, the
county has initiated the process to revise Ordinance 13 to require cities to provide residents the
opportunity to recycle organics by 2022. The county is seeking guidance on how to draft this ordinance to
deliver organics programs that provide environmental and health benefits at a reasonable cost.
What will cities be required to provide?
The county is proposing that cities must provide the curbside collection of organics through a citywide
contract or a city requirement that haulers provide organics service upon request_
What guidance is the county seeking?
In addition to the basic requirements above, the county is seeking feedback on the following:
■ Preferred collection method, . Education and outreach standards.
■ Who should be required to pay for w How to make service affordable_
service (subscribers or everyone)? ■ How to maximize participation.
Your feedback is requested
We would like to discuss your thoughts on what the organics requirement should look like before we
draft the ordinance language. Please share this information and send me the city's comments in writing or
contact me at 612-596-1176 or ben.knudsonghennepin.us to schedule a meeting before the end of
March. Details about the ordinance revision process and timeline are enclosed.

Cities must provide residential organics recycling by 2022
The Hennepin County Board of Commissioners has initiated the process to revise Ordinance 13 to require cities to provide
residents the opportunity to recycle organics by 2022. The county is seeking guidance on how to draft this ordinance to
deliver organics programs that provide environmental and health benefits at a reasonable cost.
What will cities be required to provide?
• Curbside collection of organics (weekly, year round).
■ Citywide contract or a city requirement that haulers
provide organics service upon request.
• Organics collection includes food, certain types of
non -recyclable paper, and certified compostable
items.
Why is the county taking this approach?
• People throw away a lot of food and other
compostable materials. Organics are the most
common material in the trash — more than 25%.
• Composting is better than landfilling- Putting
organic materials to a better use is an easy way to
reduce our trash and reach the county's goal of
sending zero waste to landfills.
• People want to participate in organics recycling,
Survey results show that residents think organics
recycling is important and they would be likely to
participate if the service were available.
• Recycling took time to develop, so will organics.
Developing organics programs and infrastructure
will not happen overnight, which makes it important
to get started now.
What will the county provide?
• funding assistance for organics drop-off sites.
• Education and outreach materials to promote
organics to those who have the option.
■ Support to develop pilot projects to evaluate
program design, benefits, and costs.
• Technical assistance with implementation by sharing
best practices, experience from other city programs,
and sample contract language.
The county is seeking guidance on the following
• Preferred collection method.
• Who should pay - only subscribers or everyone?
■ Education and outreach standards.
■ How to make service affordable.
• Haw to maximize participation.
• What should haulers he required to provide?
Ordinance revision process and timeline
■ Stakeholder engagement: though March 2018
• Draft ordinance revisions: April - May 2018
• Solicit feedback from stakeholders on ordinance
language: early Summer 2018
• Recommendations to the board: Summer 2018
■ Board action to set the public hearing: Fall 2018
• Board adapts ordinance revisions: late hall 2018

1. ACTION REQUESTED:
Agenda 2B
Number:
Dave Callister, City Manager
Ben Landhauser, Economic Development Manager
Discussion related to Concept Plan for Ramada Site
Mike Mergens and Casey Darkenwald of Asguard Development, LLC have been working in conjunction
with Shaw Lundquist and Associates to evaluate potential redevelopment opportunities for the general
area south of Highway 55 between Interstate 494 and Xenium Lane (CR 61) identified in the City's draft
2040 Comprehensive Plan update as a potential redevelopment area. The focus of discussion and initial
evaluation by the development team has centered on both the Ramada Hotel and Red Roof Inn sites.
Staff has identified critical infrastructure serving the surrounding area that may place limitations on
how redevelopment can occur and has provided high level guidance as to some more efficient routing
of local roadway infrastructure, which is currently challenged by the right-in/right-out access from
Xenium Lane.
The purpose of the item is to allow the Council to provide high-level reaction to the initial concept while
also providing opportunity for any questions related to the development details as they are known and
understood today. The development team has indicated that feedback is time critical to their current
agreements and relationships with existing property owners, should additional action on the properties
by the development team be pursued after the Council Work Session.
2. BACKGROUND:
The properties have been guided for general commercial use and zoned as C-3 Highway Commercial.
Initial discussion with the development team has identified the following viable uses for the property:
(1) a mixed use building comprised of multi -family housing, fitness and service retail uses including a
restaurant; (2) medical office building; (3) a new hotel; (4) ancillary service retail establishments.
Depending upon the final concept and formal action being requested, staff anticipates mixed use
project will require the developer to go through both rezoning (PUD) and Comprehensive Plan
Amendment (Mixed Use) processes in the future.
