The Council approved a thirty-day extension of these contracts at their meeting on April 25, 1989. ,\ Analysis The townships have been notified of this extension and have also been sent a copy of the proposed 1989-1990 contract with the new verbiage pertaining to hazardous material included by the city attorney. In light of the changes made in regards to the hazardous materials issue and the time constraints involved, a rate st~cture review could be conducted for the 1990-1991 contracts. Conclusion ~ Attached as Exhibit A is a cost allocation with 1989-1~90 proposed contract amounts for each of the townships. Exhibit B is a detailed five-year averaging schedule for each township that was used in the calculation of the contract amounts. Recommendation Recommend approval of the 1989-1990 contract amounts for the townships as follows: Grant Township May Township stillwater Township 64,805 31,782 55,341 CITY HALL: 216 NORTH FOURTH STILLWATER.

These funds are as follows: #365 #370 #350 $425,000 $350,000 $300,000 G.O. Bonds of 1980 G.O, 'Bonds of 1981 G,O. Bonds of 1980 $11,792.02 $ 4,807.24 $29,273.59 Anal ys is . . It is not necessary to keep. these funds open after the bonds are paid off. According to the original bond resolutions, the funds remaining after the bonds are paid may be used for other "General Obligatibn_debt service of the C;ity as are made payable therefrom by the City Council." Conclusion .. There are many other G.O, debt service funds that the City currently has in use for outstanding bonds and therefore the City Council may transfer these remaining funds. Recommendation Recommend that the City Council authorize transfer of the rema~n~ng assets, liabilities and fund balance to other general obligation debt of the City with an effective date December 31, 1988. .

OAK GLEN STATUS For Your Information The status of Oak Glen is of great concern to the City with regard to the financial impact in paying off the bonds sold for this project. As of December 31, 1989, Oak Glen was delinquent on approximately $578,000 of special assessments, with $400,000 of this attributed to 1988 alone. The bonds require approximately $555,000 payment per year. It is estimated that the funds remaining in the construction account will be fully expended in the year 1990 (provided the special assessments are not paid). .... As of today, a deficit is projected for the year 1990 of approximately $26,000. This could change if additional prepayments are received by the City. The Council should be aware that this will have an impact on the 1990 budget. The City will need to levy at 105 percent to make up for this shortfall. It is my understanding that Ron Langness from Springsted is working on this and will have a presentation for the Council at their May 16; 1989 meeting.

Qtillwater "~~ ~, .- THE B I R T H P LAC E 0 F M INN E SOT A J TO: Mayor and City Council FR: Diane Blazek, Finance Director DA: April 28, 1989 RE: DOWNTOWN PLAN The Council held a public informational hearing on April 11, 1989 to receive citizens input for implementation of the Downtown Plan. This gave the Council an opportunity to listen to public comment on the proposed plan. Staff has met to discuss the possibilitie~ for steps to be taken with regards to implementation. The City Engineer was unable to have the information ready for the agenda packet on Friday but will have more detailed information at the May 2 meeting. A recap of that information is discussed below: 1. - Timing is Critical. For the project to be completed with the least disruption to businesses as a major concern, a one-year constniction period is planned. The scheduling for feasibility studies, public hearings, preparing plans and specs, receiving bids and actual construction is tight. The City Engineer estimates that with Council approval to begin feasibility studies on May 15, 1989 a project completion date of November 1, 1990 could be achieved. .. 2. In order to proceed with the downtown plan project, Council approval is needed for a feasibility study with an estimated cost of $170,000 - $198,000. This would include the $6,000,000 for Phase I (i.e., not including special projects of $4,000,000), 3. Council approval is needed to proceed with televising of sewers in the downtown area to be analyzed and included in the feasibility report. Approximate cost is $20,000. 4. The possibility of providing underground utilities on Water Street should be addressed. These were not included in the original plan but this is the opportune time to make these improvements and would enhance the aesthetics in this area. . 5. Mn Dot funding and MSA designations have not been pursued as yet, pending Council action. CITY HALL: 216 NORTH FOURTH STILLWATER, MINNESOTA 55082 PHONE: 612-439-6121 . . .

PLANNERS 222 EAST LITTLE CANADA ROAD, ST PAUL, MINNESOTA 55117 612 484-0272 April 7, 1989 RE: STILLWATER, MINNESOTA BILLIARD PARLOR 2ND STREET SEH FILE NO. 89114 Mr. Steve Russell Community Development Director City of Stillwater 216 North 4th Street I Stillwater, MN 55082 Dear Steve: We have briefly reviewed some of the traffic impacts of the proposed Billiard Parlor on 2nd Avenue and Commercial Street in the downtown area. Li ttle data on our current studies exist . relative to the traffic generated by Billiard Parlor. We can estimate traffic generated by the Parlor based on the size of. the building, number of pool tables and video games, and other potential spectator activities or facilities. Assuming approximately 20 to 25 pool tables with four players per table and some spectators, the maximum crowd for the Billiard area would be approximately 125 people. -Wi th a mixture of numbers of players and a lesser utilization, an average peak period of 70 people is more reasonable. Assuming the inner activities such as video games also attract a number of patrons, , the maximum number of patrons could be as high as 170 with a more reasonable figure of 100. Based on between 1.4 and 1.6 people per vehicle, there would be between 60 and 100 vehicles at the building at a particular time. Obviously, a lower utilization of tables and games would resolve in a lower number of vehicles. At lower use times, it might be assumed that less than half of the tables are in use and all with only two' players per table, with a minimum number of spectators and video game players, there may be as low as 25 people in the building. We estimate that the 7,000 square foot facility will generate approximately 700 daily vehicle trips. The demand for parking will vary from only a few vehicles during the day to . approximately 70 vehicles during heavier periods. SHORT ELLIOTT HENDRICKSON INC. ST PAUL, MINNESOTA CHIPPEWA FALLS, WISCONSIN . . . Mr. steve Russell April 7, 1989 Page #2 If additional information regarding traffic generation in parking requirements for Billiard Parlors is desirable, we are familiar wi th some locations near our offices and could make periodic observations and obtain data as to the size and number of tables. Please let us know if this information will be of value. Please call if you have any questions.

DAVID MAWHORTER PUBLIC SAFETY DIRECTOR POLICE CHIEF GORDON SEIM FIRE CHIEF DEPARTMENT OF PUBLIC SAFETY DIVISION OF POLICE M E M 0 RAN DUM TO: MAYOR ABRAHAMSON, MEMBERS OF THE CITY COUNCIL AND THE CITY COORDINATOR FROM: D. P. MAWHORTER, PUBLIC SAFETY DIRECTOR v;Jp DATE: APRIL 12, 1 '38'3 RE: PROPOSED BILLIARD HALL AT 201 NORTH SECOND ST. I wish to formally advise Council of the Police Department's strong objection to the approval of the abov~ captioned matter. The reasons for this objection are as follows: . e~~~iDg - This area is already a congested area for parking. As you know, there is the senior high rise, businesses already in the area and the Lowell Inn patt;~ns consuming all the available parking in that area. The fire department had to take action recently against the senior high rise because the peop~e were parking in the fire lane in front of the building because of lack of parking and residents have been complaining for some time about lack of adequate parking in the area. We have had several other complaints about the lack of parking in this area. To add another traffic intensive use like this to this area would create grave problems and would increase the service demands urn~eascIYlably. ~ili~Q_~~~ - I also feel that this proposed use is inconsistent with the area. This area houses is primarily elderly individuals. To add a use that attracts mainly young persons would, again, greatly increase the service demands from the current residents. This would place an unreasonable hardship on the police department clfficet~s who are already "up to their necks" with calls for service. I strongly oppose this proposal and urge you to do the same. 89-31 .

We expect that one of our more popular tours will be downtown Stillwater along the levy, under the Stillwater Bridge, north through the large parking lot to the boat docks, up Myrtle Street to North Main Street, highlighting the Minnesota Zephyr, up Elm Street to Wilkins, highlighting Pioneer Park, then travelipg down' and highlighting such items as the Lowell Inn, the old Post Office, traveling up South Third Street to the old Court House, then traveling down to the overlook and looking at downtown Stillwater, coming back down the hilly street behind the Grand ~~rage, and then back down to the Lowell Park. We will be operating irregular routes on our tour pointing out other points of interest as time permits or as a specific group may request. We feel that by offering some flexibility, we will be able to change our route as traffic may demand. We also feel that this will give us an opportunity to more closely study the best routes to develop a regular route -. car connecting the upper part of Stillwater the hotels and shopping cente~s with lower Stillwatei including Houlton, Wisconsin and Kolliner Park. ..J."-~ "~.. ...... .....~ ...",pj - .. . .

DATE: APRIL 26, 1989 SUBJECT: PARKING REVIEW OF 9,800 SQUARE FOOT FLEA MARKET USE IN EXISTING BUILDING AT 312 NORTH MAIN STREET. The application is to use an existing building for a Flea and Farmers Market. The market would be open on Saturdays and Sundays only. The Flea Market is a permitted use in the CA, General Commercial District. There are not specific parking requirements but using the standards for retail sales, 65 parking spaces are required. The applicant has indicated there will be 20 vendors. The vendors could park on a portion of the Domino Pizza site currently leased by the applicant. There is no other on-site parking for customers. An entrance to the use would be constructed along Main Street. A sign is proposed for that location. The Sign Ordinance limits the size of the sign to 25 square feet. Parking is a concern in the North Main Street area as with other areas of the Downtown. The previous use of the 312 North Main Street building was a furniture making business. The parking demand for that use would be primarily Monday through Friday and require fewer spaces than a Flea Market. The applicant has indicated that he will pe contacting adjacent property owners to see if he can use their parking lots on weekends for Flea Market use. . The Building Department has reviewed the request for code compliance (review attached). No major problems have been identified. RECOMMENDATION: Consideration of request and decision based on parking avqilability for the use. If approved the following Conditions of Approval are recommended for Council consideration. 1. A minimum of twenty parking spaces for Flea Market vendor Shall be ~-/;1 available, signed and used on the Domino Pizza site. ~~ . 2. There shall be no outside storage of sales of any items. All items /fiJo.rP "",.,..J shall be sold or stored inside the building. r 3, The sign size shall be 25 square feet maximum. No off-site signing is a 11 owed. . 4. The use, conditions of approval, and parking situation shall be reviewed in six months. If the use or parking demand of the activity adversely affects the use, the use may be revoked. ' 5. The applicant shall provide the City with a lease for any off-site parking to show the forms of its availability. 6. Existing improvements shall be made to meet City building code requirements, as approved by the City Building Official. 7. A maximum of twenty vendors shall be allowed on any day.

Th is project was approved by the City Council January 3, 1989. Since that time, the applicant has surveyed the site in more detail. Based on the survey, they have modified the site plan. The building has been moved to align with the south property boundary further away from Curve Crest Boulevard and the residences to the north. The garage doors have been relocated to the north side of the building. The building design, signage, and landscape plan have been modified to reflect the changes. The visual impact of the building wou1~ be reduced because the rear portion of the building is excavated six feet into the hill. Another benefit of the revision is that the enclosed storage area will be scree,ned by the building and,located further from the road.

( PLANNING APPLICATION REVIEW CASE NO. SUP/88-73 Planning Commission Meeting: December 12, 1988 Project Location: Southwest corner of Curve Crest and Industrial Blvds. Zoning District: Industrial Park Industrial Comprehensive Plan District: IP-I Applicant's Name: Happy Thomsen Type of Application: Special Use Permit PROJECT DESCRIPTION Auto and truck repair use. DISCUSSION: A repair garage requires a Special Use Permit in the Industrial Park - Industrial District. Permitted uses in the district include limited manufacturing, office, research facility, warehousing and wholesale business. The truck/auto repair is different from the manufacturing and office uses on Industrial Boulevard and Northwestern Avenue. The site on the corner of Curve Crest and Industrial is located at an entrance to the Stillwater Business Par k . PROJECT ANAL YS IS -The proposed 7,200 square foot building meets the setback and height - requirements for the district. A landscape plan shows street trees, bermed and sodded areas. Signage is shown on the Curve Crest Boulevard side of the building in two sixty square foot signage areas. Building compatible with the area as well as use compatibility is a permit consideration. The proposed building would be of a similar design to the buildings under construction east of the site on the north side of Curve Crest with exceptjon of no mansard band around the top of the building. The proposed twenty foot bui lding would be constructed of vertical rib metal siding with brick accent siding on the Curve Crest and Industrial Blvd. sides. The repair areas of the building would be one story while the central office section two stories. No mechanical equipment or refuse storage areas are shown on the site plan. It is recommended that a mansard be added around the entire top of the building. This would increase the interest of the building and make it more compatible with other buildings in the area. Other recommendations include removal of the farthest west security light (toward residences) realigning the driveway entrance to a regular entrance, screening any mechanical equipment and trash area, and removing signs over garage doors. Before bui lding permits can be issued, a final grading/drainage plan must be submitted for City Engineer review. RECOMMENDATION Approval with conditions. FINDINGS: 1 ( .

Attached please find my water bill for the first quarter of 1989 and a copy of the check paying the same. We indeed did use that much water. Dennis from the water department' called me prior to us getting this bill, and said our water consumpti on is much hi g!"1er than i t usu~~l y,~~~. I inspected all water outlets, and found that we had a outside sill faucet that had been turned on by some kids over the winter. Because annual sewer charges are predicated on one's first quarter water bill, I would like some consideration on my sewer bill. I did use the water I was billed for, but didn't flush it down the sewer. t;fl~ +. - - (! , '1'uv"-t l G e.

MN 55082 Business (612) 439-1412 Apr i 1 6, 1989 City of Stillwater 216 North Fourth Street Stillwater, MN 55082 Dear Mr. Mayor and Honorable Members of the Stillwater City Council; Enclosed please find copies of my water and sewer bill covering the last quar- ter of 1988. The 1st quarter of 1989 and the 1st 3 quarters of 1988 reflected water usage of 53,000 to 75,000 gallons per quarter. The 4th quarter of 1988 showed usage of 173,000 gallons. Mr. Dennis McKean from the Water Department sent a man to our building on December 14, 1988 to determine if there are any problems. None were discovered. Our maintenance man did report to us however that he had recently repaired a toilet that had been running for an unknown periOd of time. Our current water bill for the 1st quarter of 1989 indicated the usage is down to 84,000 gallons, so I presume that if there was a-problem in the buildtngrt 'has been corrected. Natur~lly with the high water usage we have a correspondingly high sewer bill. I know that in the past the City has given relief in these unusal cases, and I am herewith requesting your consideration in reviewing our situation and hopefully affording us whatever help you can. I know that you have many other pressing matters to consider, but I do appreci- ate your assistance. ,"","v00:::..<:' -r v e~_vv~Q : ~b~~~L0L Q.d..,~~~~ L~"vk-: \) ~l..L ~ LV (,\.-1:." w ~t ~"^'t<., ~~ ~I <4JLvJ-Lt j ~vi _.

The City recently developed and adopted a land use plan for the Brick Pond area. The plan designates the area Commercial, Multi-Family Residential and Parks and Open Space. Improvement plans for the street, water and sewer lines, and storm water have recently been approved. Because of the land use pattern, developable land on only one side of the street, and planned public improvements (neighborhood park and pathway), the costs of improving the area are high and may be a constraint to the future development of the land. To assist with the improvements cost and to improve the likelihood of development of the area, to strengthen the tax base,itts suggested_that the Council consider establishing an Economic Development District for the area. Economic Development Districts are tenyearudjstric't s.Ei ghtyears ofutax increment would be generative. The District would be a part of the overall Development District of the City and revenues from the District could be used in the Downtown, or other project areas, to upgrade the substandard conditions. RECOMMENDATION: Consideration of establishing Brick Pond Economic Development District. If recommended, direct Staff to prepare necessary notice and plan amendment information.

STATE OF MINNESOTA OFFICE OF THE GOVERNOR ST. PAUL 55155 RUDY PERPICH GOVERNOR April 19, 1989 The Honorable Wallace L. Abrahamson Mayor City of Stillwater City Hall 216 North 4th Street stillwater, Minnesota 55082 Dear Mayor Abrahamson: Enclosed are two articles from a California journal that I believe should be read by all of our state and local policy-makers. It describes the groundswell of support and the urgent need for enhanced, aggressive recycling and waste reduction programs. As a part of our efforts to make recycling a major element of all waste management strategies in Minnesota, we must be sensitive to the need for markets for recycled materials. Without markets, any effort to expand recycling will be frustrated. So,~I am~urginga11 state and local elected officials to review the existing procurement practices in your offices and schools. It is time ,to act now to convert to recycled office paper, to purchase items that. can be re-used, and to seek ways to substitute virgin-based products for recycled products. Our schools and government offices should be "model~" to encourage all employees and students to participate in source separation of recyclable materials and above all, to reduce waste so that disposal is averted. - I have presented the 1989 Legislature with a comprehensive package to bring Minnesota to the forefront in our efforts to recycle and reduce waste and litter. The recommendations came as a result of The Select Committee on Recycling and the Environment (SCORE) which included private industry, state and local officials as well as those representing recyling and environmental interests. It is time to enact environmentally progressive laws that will set the solid waste policies for our state. Your participation in the conversion of our citizenry from a "throw-away" to a ' reduction-recycling oriented society is essential. Government and our schools should set an example and lead the way. 2?~GZ~ RUDY PERPICH Governor AN EQUAL OPPORTUNITY EMPLOYER S"'7' ",-~~~ ... -.!:IT , . AtP-cJ ,t- - fJ, ~ // /t:!t ~ Tt~ - ~ o d .

Even a successful program won't end the need for landfills or waste-to-energy plants. J used to say that aslcing people to separate their garbage was hazardous to an elected officials health. · - Joy Picus. Los Angeles city councilwoman By JOHN RUNNETTE . It wasn't that long ago when pigs re- cycled part of Los Angeles' gar- bage, The San Gabriel Valley was farm country then. The year was 1947. The population of the county was just over 4 million people. (It is double that today, ) John Runnette is afTee-lance writer in Los Angeles. Almost everyone lived in single- family homes then. And utilizing pigs' natural appetite for garbage to produce pork. ham and bacon made sense in an., area still conscious of its rural heritage. Forty years ago. most Southern Cal- ifornians still burned their trash in backyard incinerators. then set out the ashes for weekly collection. along with the empty bottles and cans. Another container held kitchen scraps or slop. (These were the days before garbage disposals.) City crews picked up every- thing. The bottles and cans went to scrap glass and metals dealers. the kitchen scraps to the pig farmers of the San Gabriel VaHey. But then the pigs suddenly got sick. and tainted kitchen scraps proved to be the cause. Cities stopped collecting food garbage about the same time that pig farms began being divided up for new home developments. Other habits changed too. once war- time reasons for residential recycling faded with victory. Falling scrap prices removed the last economic in- centive. Smoke and foul-smelling air put an end to backyard incinerators. That set the stage for Sam Yorty's pop- ular campaign promise of the early 19605: He promised to free Los An- geles housewives from the burden of separating their garbage. Yorty's election did not singlehand- . JANUARY 1Q89 27 edly initiate the age of landfills -like all cities, Los Angeles already had a few small dumps, But the Yorty vic- tory gave impetus to a dependence on landfills, and new habits helped too, The growing waste stream now began to contain a lot of new packaging materials, As larger landfills came on line in the '60s, recycling began to seem like an old-fashioned habit. City trucks carried everything away to new dumps like Mission Canyon and Calabasas in tween recycling and its first phase: re- covery, Collecting and recovering materials from some point in the solid waste stream is only the beginning; re- ycling comes when basic manufactur- rs use recovered materials to produce lass, aluminum, tin or paper, In Los Angeles and several other ities throughout California, citizens ppear to be ahead of the elected offi- ials in support for recycling, and lected officials are ahead of their bur- aucracies. The grassroots aspect of the Santa Monica Mountains, Scholl in Glendale~ Spadra in Pomona. In 1971 the giant facility at Puente Hills opened up. Then the old $~ck-pig problem popped up in modern form. From the huge landfills, methane gases and leachates began percolating into the ground, seeping down and out into water supplies. As public health con- cerns grew, more citizens began ques- tioning what was really happening inside those mountains of gtrbage. Several smaller California cities - Modesto, Downey, Davis and Berke- ley among them - gradually resumed recycling programs in the '70s, while Los Angeles flirted with and ulti. mately rejected expensive waste-to-en- ergy technology. Today recycling is a thoroughly rehabilitated, "progres- sive" idea, even in the City of the Angels. Yet even in its new popularity, re- cycling is little understood. A basic distinction must be made be- 28 GOLDEN STATE REPORT the issue has pushed it onto the polit- i al agenda in many citie:; - it may be point for debate in the L.A, mayor- lty race this year, The sense of urgency varies widely, owever. Some cities seem indifferent hile others are almost militantly roused. One rule of thumb seems to ork: The closer a community is to an xisting or proposed landfill, the igher the interest. As John Waddell of efuse News has said, "We won't see solution until there's garbage on the s reets. " Consider what happeried in the~San ernando Valley when Sunshine Can- on landfill began operating. Located alf in the city of Los Angeles and half ( ostly undeveloped) in the county, t is landfill currently accepts a little ore than one-third of L.A. 's solid aste stream. BFI Inc., which oper- tes_.the facility, has petitioned the county for expansion which, if ap- roved, would make Sunshine one of t e biggest landfills in the United tates. "Living next to a landfill." says Mary Edwards of the North Valley Co- alition, "has made believers and re- cyclers out of us." The Coalition has been in the forefront of the battle to limit the life and growth of Sunshine. So have L.A. City Councilman Hal Bernson, whose district includes part of the landfill, and Citizens for a Better Environment, which earlier fought L.A, 's plan to build three waste-to-en- ergy plants, Another ally has been Assembly- woman Marian LaFollette (R-North- ridge), who represents the north San Fernando Valley. LaFollette authored AB 2818, which makes cities and counties commit to recycling before expanding landfills or opening new dumps. ' Edwards says the North Valley Co- alition "did not feel it was ethically correct to take a 'not-in-my-back- yard'" attitude. In some other areas, local efforts reflect similarly positive reactions to the growing problems of waste disposal: Y' Granada Hills Junior Chamber of Commerce launched a residential re- cycling program even before any city efforts began. The chamber provides monthly curbside j)ickup of news- paper, glass, plastics and aluminum. mu__~Jn the Lake.YiewuTerraceareaof the San Fernando Valley, near the city- owned Lopez Canyon Landfill, the same type of neighborhood curbside program began last ~fay, Cooperating with a private recycll.'r, the Lake View Terrace Improvemem Association pro- motes participation with the motto, "Everything you put on the recycling truck stays out of the landfill." The group's profits have been spent on library books and local improvements, But profits are slim, in part because of the falling price of used newsprint. Association spokeswoman Phyllis Hines says that as long as there's any market for recycled goods, "things are okay. But we'd love to have a paper mill close by that used our paper. We'd like to see legislation passed that all city offices had to use recycled paper." Hines' volunteers are reluctant to join the city's pilot curbside recycling program. "Our program isn't costing the city a cent," she says. "There was no startup cost. Our private recycler even paid for the door hangers to tell the community about the program. . . Why would we want to pay money to recycle? We're making money now and . . .. . . . ~' How recycling cracked Walnut Geography was a key motivator in the campaign to make the city of Walnut a leader in recycling. The bedroom community of 25,000, just south of Los An- geles, borders two large landfills - the BKK facility in West Covina and the L.A. County-City of Pomona landfill at Spadra. (The latter also was the proposed site of a waste-to-energy plant.) Former Walnut Mayor Harvey Holden is now the executive director of the San Gabriel Valley Associa- tion of Cities and a leader in the recycling program. "We studied recycling, composting, waste-to-energy and a proposal which we didn't start out taking seri- ously but in the end did, which was rail haul. I "In recycling we learned that we are not a Japan, where they've been doing it, in some cities, for 100 years, We discovered what everyone probably already knows: that composting is a great idea - a necessary component to solving the waste problem - but we simply haven't learned how to cope with the products cc,ming out of citywide composting. "The composting situation will have to have a break- through to deal with the volume that will be produced. Even here, the junior college started a program, and then they had to say. 'Stop.' Where were they going to put it?" Holden is somewhat impatient with the pace 01 re- cycling action. "One of the things which distresses me most." he says, "is that all of the recycling information is available from the state, from the l.A. County San- itation Districts. Nobody needs to study it - all they need to have is the guts to implement it." The possibility of a nearby waste-to-energy incin- eration plant was enough to get Walnut's opposition organized. "Never had so many people reacted so fast to an issue," Holden recalls. "It was only rivaled one time by the hint that a prison might be located (nearby) in the City of Industry." The city worked out the cost of curbside collection and charged all residents an additional recycling fee of less than $1 a month. That will be rebated, says program administrator Sean Joyce, when proceeds from the sales of collected recyclables come in. Ex-Mayor Holden believes the experts who say that , waste-to-energy plants'must come eventually, as a part of managing the waste stream. He's convinced that there's a lot of misunderstanding about recycling. "People hear 50 percent, and think that's half of the problem solved. But residential re- cycling is only 10 percent of our (total) solution. . . ~ome people have used the argument of recycling against waste-to-energy plants, but I haven't heard anyone say that recycling can do everything." Holden says the public must be educated and then alternative solutions, with realistic cost estimates, must be placed on the ballot. "We haven't got the solutions, because the issues are too politically hot.I/he says. "We have tons of trash right now, with no real place to go. , "- -"If we don"t get the ball moving right now, then_ we__ have a problem," he says. "For a politician now, you have to forget this political suicide and put the issue on the ballot." - j,R. helping our communir.v The city gets so bogged down in politics and red tape. " y# In Walnut. a bedroom commu- nity near Los Angeles. residents have adopted one of the state's first man- datory curbside recycling' programs with virtually no political opposition. (See box.) Y# Santa Monica has whaf may be the most complete recycling program in the nation. It has curside pickup, multi-family zones (for apartments). drop-off zones. buy-back centers, composting. home toxic curbside pickup. office paper programs, plastics collections and even toy recycling. The success of any recycling pro- gram hinges on three questions: What's in the trash? How much can be recycled? What percent of the popu- lation will be involved? Garbage falls into three general cat- egories. one-third residential, one. third commercial and institutional. one-third industrial. Most pol itical discussions of recycling focus on the residential segment because it is the easiest and most dramatic place to begin. Separating bottles from cans is a daily reminder to citizens that some. thing is being done about the waste problem, but since residential waste is only one-third of most waste streams, residential programs can create the impression that greater amounts are being diverted from landfills than ac- tuallyare. Most private haulers feel they must offer some form of recycling as part of the collection service they seek to sell their city-clients. Yet no matter how committed the hauler and how enthu- siastic the community, the content of garbage defines what impact recycling can achieve, Among "garbologists," one gener- ally agreed-upon statistic is that 20 percent of residential wastes are "read- ily recyclable." Another 30 percent from single-family homes is "yard waste." Together, those elements form the 50 percent which is considered a realistic recycling target for residential garbage. .... Yet such figures hide as much as they reveal. How much of the "readily re- cyclable" cans, glass and newspaper are already being diverted through paper drives and the new California ."bottle bil1?'~How much ofy~rd , wastes are actually compostible (grass clippings, leaves, etc.) and how much are solid wood? Another problem is the amount of miscellaneous paper than cannot be re- cycled readily. Junk mail is but one ex- ample; food packaging is another. Cities like Palo Alto have begun edu- cation campaigns on so-called source reduction, urging citizens to buy fresh vegetables instead of frozen to cut down on packaging wastes. How many people will actually re- cycle household wastes? L.A,'s County Sanitation Districts surveyed 600 res- ket value for used plastic containers. Currently 95 percent of recycled plas- tic bottles are sent to mills outside of the United States where they are pro- cessed into items like carpet backings. paper from landfills, "There are three countries who lead the world in recy- cling," says Gary Peterson of Ecolo- Haul, a Los Angeles recycling and waste paper company. "Japan, Ger- many and California," The problem, according to Al Strickman of Garden State Paper of Po- mona (a leading producer of new paper out of old), is that the paper mills are demand-driven. "No paper company builds a plant without a market," he says, Yet right now the city of Los An- geles could produce more used news- paper than could be consumed by all California paper mills, he says. One solution would be for govern- ment to stimulate the market for recy- cled produce, just as it has stimulated markets for other products, according to Ecolo-Haul's Peterson. "We don't want or need government interference, just stimulation, Why can't the gover- nor grant a tax break for building more paper plants that use old newspapers?" . Timetable to crisis Here are the grim numbers on Calif, rnia's waste management scene: Annual waste stream production: 3 .8 million tons, Remaining permitted landfill capac ty: 490,230,909 tons. Time remaining until all existing lar dfill is closed: 12 years. Some cities and counties are in bet er shape than others, of course, In some areas, existing landfills will b loaded in fewer than five years, To see how California's most populpus county will be affected, look at l.A.'s Sanitation Districts' "time-to crisis" timetable. Y' If no landfill expansion is pern itted, no new sites opened and current recycling level continues, l.) . County will reach crisis condi- tions in 1991, Y' If all possible expansions of exi ting landfills were permitted, no new sites added and recycling is mair tained at the 1991 goal-level, the crisis date will be 1995.

Another survey conclu- sion: Most people will recycle if programs are convenient an'dappear ' cost-effective. Perhaps the biggest im'pediment to large-scale recycling is the current lim- ited market for recycled products. Scrap metal and waste pa~r markets are depressed and likely to become more so if supply far exceeds demand, say dealers in both fields. By contrast. aluminum's recycling potenrial has improved over the past 20 years, The key to success is the fact that the industry has converted enough of its plants to accept used aluminum as a source metal. Similarly, the glass container indus- try is trying to create a market value for bottles, and the plastics industry- spurred by bottle bills in Californil and elsewhere - is developing a mar "n GOLDEN STATE REPORT Based on timetables developed by the Sanitation Districts of L.A.

Garbage is not the political issue you're looking for if the goal is' cheering approval from all quarters. Californians produce 38 million tons of it a year, and we are of one mind about where it goes: "Out of here. .. But that's where consensus stops. There is. after al1. no foolproof way to turn 38 million tons of garbage into joy for all. Local officials want a smooth and convenient way to have trash hauled off. In pushing for that narrow aim. they faithfully represent their constit- uents, who have come to expect low- cost curbside waste removal as a municipal service on a par with fire protection. And it is. Without regular garbage colIection. no place would remain hab- itable for long. California communi- ties would be the first to bury themselves because we generate waste at nearly twice the rate of the country as a whole. Consequently, our dumps are filling up. About 70 percent of California's urban areas will be out of landfill space within eight years. Eight of our largest counties have less than five years to go. What then? Cities should be worried. but the same local officals who demand trou- ble-free waste disposal also make land- use planning decisions. And they tend to oppose new landfiIls anywhere nearby. There is still remote space in Cali- fornia. but trucking waste long dis- tances will run up garbage bills astonishingly, violating the citizen ex- pectation that waste disposal should be cheap as well as easy. Recycling is cheap but not easy. And so for a long time, few households did it. Now. some communities have gone to curbside recycling. These experi- ments have shown that people will recycle if the system can be made conven ient. """ In San Jose, curbside recycling is expected to reduce tonnage to landfills one-third by 1992. """ In San Francisco, more than 25 percent is already being recycled. """ In my district, in addition to San Jose, the communities of Fremont, Newark and Union City will go to curb- side recycling in 1989. Such programs should be models for urban and suburban recycling. But for less densely populated areas, we will have to invent methods that match the dispersed characteristics of those com. munities, and that will not be easY,uWh State government's encouragement of recycling has so far been lim. ited. AB 2020, the so.called bottle bill, was carried successfully in the 1985-86 session by Assemblyman Burt Margolin. But the results to date have not been the kind of bottle recycling we had hoped for. Perhaps the incen- tive - 1 cent per bottle - does not outweigh the inconvenience. In the 1987-88 kgislative session, advocates of recyc!mg were optimistic at first, but disapPolmed in the end. We pa,ssed three gooo !'ecycling measures with bipartisan support. All, however, were vetoed, """ AB 3298, by Assemblymembers Lucy ~ilIea and Darn Cortese, would have required ciOes to draft waste reo duction plans for t'.e end of 1992, with a goal of recycling 25 percent.

And to make sure there is no mis- understanding about that, I carried AB 2448 in 1987. Among other things, the law makes owners financially respon- sible for their landfills up to 30 years after they close. The bill also sets up a so-called garbage superfund to ensure that there is a means to clean up un- foreseen problems.

Third. the Legislature must find ways to promote more recycling, and we can do that by stimulating the growth of markets for recycled goods, To gain the governor's support this time. we probably need a fresh way to illustrate the economics of the situa- tion, I suggest we develop a new mar- ket model of waste disposal that quant i fies not only the out-of-pocket costs of recycling, but also the costs we avoid when recycling reduces the need for so much waste disposal. The federal government did this sort of "avoided costs" analysis during the oil embargo. It based energy strategies not only on the costs of developing al- ternative sources. but also on the costs we could escape by IIiOt importing for- ei!;n crude, Appl ied to the waste question, it seems reasonable thal there is a poten- tial benefit to the staif, by recycling, we can avoid some of the costs and risks that come w!th 'andfilling.

As waste-to-energy projects go, the new Stanislaus County Resource Recovery Facility 20 miles southwest of t-.AGde,to is something of a California miracle. Plans for the plant, which started trial runs at the end of 1988, wele'initwted only about three years ago. Given California'sstrict environmental controls, most waste-managemerTt specialists estimate that it can take five years just to get a proposal through the permit process. But when local officials get full steam behind a proj- ect, it can move r.l!Qidly, as was the case of this venture involving StanislilWsCounty, the city of Modesto, Og. den Martin Systems Inc., the California Pollution Con- trol Financing Authority, the state Department of Health Services~ the state Energy Commission, the state Solid WasteManager:nent Board a-nd the state Air Resources Board. The $120 million project is designed to process 800 tons of waste a di1r,and will serve more than 400,000 residents of Stanislaus County, relieving pressure on . .-' two landfills that will reach capacity in 1991 and 2004. Electricity from the plant will be sold to Pacific Gas & Electric Co. The facility is California's third waste-to-energy plant and Ogden-Martin's first in the state. The New Jersey- based firm designed, built and helped finance the plant. It will own and operate the facility until 2014, ,1; industry representatives, local offi- cials and citizens' groups all helped out in good faith to make the measur~ workable, In the 1989-90 legislative session, we'll go at it again. The first item on the solid waste agenda, it seems to me, should be discussions with local government over the landfill siting pro- cess. That will be controversial. I am a former city councilmember and a strong backer of the "local con- trol" principle. A few years ago, I fought a measure that would have per- mitted state ,government to override.. localities that rejected siting appliCa- tions for controversial operations like chemical plants. But we have to clarify openly the tradeoffs and then choose consciously. Cheap waste disposal implies nearby landfills, Remote landfills imply very significant cost increases. It will not be fair play for city officials to profess "shock" later if they deliberately se- lect the high-priced option. This is not a decision we can post- pone. Ten years from flOW, five years from now, even two y'~ars from now will be too late. We should decide in this session, or get ready for Califor- nia's version of the famous New York garbage barge that had no place to go. Decisiops like this are complicated these days by a new and nasty public affairs acronym - NiMBY, It stands for "not in my backyard, .. and it refers to the growing tendency to resist the siting of facilities that could conceiv- ably cause problems, even though all agree the facilities are essential: sewer plants, jails, mental hospital~ and land- fills, to name a few. ' But there is another acronym that should inform this debate: TWABAL. It means "there will alwl'ys be a landfill. " That is a disagreeable assertion to those who hope the need for landfills soon will fall drastically. These folks expect that environmental limits will force us, under the whip of necessity, to re-learn the lost art of efficient consumption. That would be wonderful, but noth- ing of the kind is in sight. Even if we could reduce the flow of waste to land- fills, as this year's vetoed legislation attempted to do, state growth and the continued use of non-recyclable prod- ucts means these materials will bave to be disposed of somewhere. . . Cutting the absolute quantity of aste to extremely low levels probably eans Draconian cuts in both produc- ti n and consumption - something o ly the tiniest sliver of public opinion ould countenance, So, TWABAL is probably true: here will always be a landfill.

Products like paint, insecticides and motor oil are discarded by the ton in the trash every day. Most people don't even know that these dangerous sub- stances should be disposed of sepa- rately. Even if they do know, there is usually no ready channel for proper disposal. The garbage superfund created by AB 2448 earmarks 20 'percent of the .

Dear Mayor Abrahamson; I'm writing in regards to the newly installed stop sign at the corner of Martha and Moore. I do not believe the traffic on these streets warrant a stop sign. I'm wondering how much input was received before the decision was made. How many cars travel on Moore Street per day? What was their average speed determined to be? How often do vehicles, bicyclists or pedestrians meet another vehicle at this intersection? How many accidents have occurred here? My parents have lived here for forty years and they know of none. Were any citizens in this neighborhood asked their opinion or did the voice of one constitute a need? Mr. Mawhorter took the easy route and honored a request without studying the situation. I understand the request was made because of a concern about speed. Instead of restricting the flow of traffic were other avenues pursued? The patrol cars in this neighborhood have decreased in the past few years instead of becoming more visible. If there is reason for concern why not increase the patrol? Have any tirikets ~ver bee~ issued for speeding on Moore Street? Did anyone consider placing a "Caution Children" sign here if the concern is with children? , The trend seems to' be to place stop signs wherever, with no thought being given to the overall flow of traffic. The residential areas of our city seem to be inundated with unnecessary stop signs. I know they are a must in many situations but I think they are being placed with insufficient information. - The volume and speed of traffic on Moore Street does not call for a stop sign. In fact, traffic along the golf course is often slow moving traffic. It is only a three way intersection as opposed to a four way intersection and Martha Street carries a very minimum amount of traffic. Traffic has also been stopped on an incline. Was that ever considered? For the above stated reasons, I would like to request the removal of the stop sign on the corner of Martha and Moore. Thank you for listening and acting on my concerns. .

Slater, Executive Director~ Levy Limits Proposed by Tax Bills-- Cities Need to Contact Legislators TO: RE: Both House and Senate tax bills (H.F. 1734 and S.F. 473) propose a severe tightening of levy limits for Pay 1990. Both bills impose a strict three percent limit for next year. The Senate bill would impose such limits on all cities, including small cities with populations under 2,500. Population/household adjustments are also restricted under both bills. A summary of levy limit provisions is provided below. . cities .should immediately contact their~-legislators-~ about~ proposed-'-'~o~"~-,, d_ levy limits. Cities should provide legislators with examples of how the proposed levy limits wiIL_resultin_cutbacks~_in,citY~_____~__~_~m__ services, programs and number of employees. Copies of any correspondence should also be sent to tax conferees (list attached). The tax bills are expected to be considered this week on the House and Senate floors. Conference action will begin next week. - The League is opposing this tightening of levy limits because it will pose financial problems for many cities. The three percent adjustment is well below the inflation rate. stringent limits are being imposed at a time when cities are struggling with the high costs of mandates --particularly comparable worth and binding arbitration. ' Three Percent Levy Limit Both House and Senate bills impose a three percent levy limit for Pay 1990. For larger cities with populations over 2,500, the three percent increase will be applied to the Pay 1989 levy limit base (rather than the actual levy for Pay 1989). Under the Senate bill, small cities must use actual levies for Pay 1989 as the levy limit base for Pay 1990. . Under the House bill, cities with reserve appeals for Pay 1989 and 1990 must use a different levy limit base (see previous Action.i ;'"'1\/ i Alert, 4/27/89).

Re: Potential Conflict of Interest Relating to Proposed Development by Tim and Don Nolde Dear Mayor and Councilmembers: It has come to my attention that Tim Barnett, a partner of mine in Mackall, Crounse & Moore and I have a potential conflict of interest regarding the proposed Nolde development project in the City of Stillwater. I discussed this matter-with City Attorney David Magnuson last week and requested that he bring the matter to your attention at the next council meeting. Mr. Barnett represents Tim and Don Nolde as legal counsel and has been asked to represent them on the "hotel-mixed use" project being considered on the South Main Street parking lot. I have been asked to represent the City regarding the structuring of the use of tax increment financing and the drafting of the redevelopment agreement relating to the project. We anticipate that the Noldes will request certain public assistance, including tax increment financing, in connection with the project. . In order to allow both of us to represent our respective clients in this matter, we would like to propose an arrangement by which we can eliminate any possibility that our representation of either client would adversely affect our relationship with the other. At the end of this letter, we will ask the City to consent to such representation. We are also asking the developer for a similar consent. -1- , . . . MACKALL, CROUNSE a. MOORE Working Arrangements As I have stated above, the proposed project will likely involve a number of business and legal issues on which I have advised the City in the past, including the structuring of the use of tax increment and the drafting of the redevelopment agreement. With respect to the project, I would expect to advise the City on these issues in the same manner as I have in past projects. We believe that the interests of the City and the developer in this project are generally aligned. However, to minimize any conflict of interest, I would not become directly involved in the negotiations with the developers and their counsel. Instead, this task would be exclusively handled by David Magnuson, and steve Russell. Although I would not participate in the negotiations, I would consult with and advise Mr. Magnuson and Mr. Russell on the issues involved in the negotiations to the same extent that I have in the past. As part of my representation of the City, I also would draft any required legal documents. The Noldes will be principally represented by Mr. Barnett, with assistance from one of the members of our Public Finance Department, John Utley. We will take formal steps to ensure that neither I nor any other attorney in the firm representing you in connection with the project will discuss any aspect of the project with Messrs. Barnett or Utley, or any other attorney representing the developers. We will also take steps to ensure that attorneys representing the developers will not be allowed access to any files created in connection with our representation of the City. With this protection in place, and in light of the proposed role of Mr. Magnuson and Mr. Russell i~ the negotiations, we believe we can adequately represent the interests of both the City and the developers in the development of the project. This advantage of our dual representation in this matter is that each party will be represented by counsel of its choice. The disadvantage is that, should it become evident during the course of our firm's dual representation of the City and the developers that we cannot continue to represent both clients without adversely affecting our relationship with one or both clients, or should either the City or the developers revoke their representative consent to such dual representation at any time during such representation, our firm would be required to withdraw from the representation of both parties. If the arrangement described above is acceptable to you, please confirm your consent to our firm's dual representation of the City and the developers by signing and dating the enclosed copy of this letter and returning it to me for our files. - 2 - , MACKALL, CROUNSE a MOORE .
