good
morning
director
Hutchinson
morning.
B
B
I
am
told
that
in
previous
surveys
and
again
in
this
most
recent
one,
that's
I've
seen
solid
waste
and
recycling
comes
out
as
the
number
one
service
that
we
provide
and
a
good
reason
for
that
as
the
efforts
of
our
staff
and
they're
going
to
present
some
information
that
I
think
you'll
find
both
interesting
and
extremely
valuable
for
our
all
of
our
neighborhoods
and
communities.
So
with
that
I'm
going
to
introduce
David
Herbert
holes,
who's,
our
director
of
solid
waste
and
recycling
you'll
take
it
from
there
morning.
C
Mr.
chair
committee
members,
my
name
is
Dave
Herbert
Olsen
I'm,
the
director
of
solid
waste
and
recycling,
or
the
city
and
public
works.
I'm
very
excited
to
be
here
today
for
this
opportunity
to
present
an
overview
and
our
litter
abatement
activities
and
to
present
a
few
new
and
exciting
initiatives
to
address
litter
in
Minneapolis
and
with
it
like
got
staff
members
here,
but
I'd
like
to
introduce
Angela
brenny
who's,
going
to
do
the
presentation
and.
D
D
So
first,
our
mission
in
short,
clean
city,
is
job
one.
We
do
it
efficiently
safely
and
effectively.
So
who
do
we
serve
primarily
our
customers,
our
residential
dwelling
units
within
buildings
that
are
for
and
fewer
for
units
and
under
we
have
a
small
number
of
commercial
properties,
a
little
bit
larger
number
of
parks
and
just
a
few
larger
apartment
buildings,
so
our
core
customers,
residential
dwellings
for
units
or
less?
What
do
we
do?
D
Our
core
services
include
collection,
processing
and
disposal
of
anything
that
we
pick
up.
We
collect
garbage
recycling,
organic
Sprott
materials
yard,
waste
mattresses.
We
offer
excessive
material
management
throughout
your
program.
Residents
can
bring
it
in
for
free.
We
also
do
some
enforcement
and
requests
to
clean
up
for
a
fee.
Customers
can
get
rid
of
additional
material,
and
that
brings
us
to
other
programs.
Clean
city,
clean
city
programs,
are
available
really
to
anyone.
They
don't
have
to
be
a
customer
of
solid
waste
and
recycling
as
long
as
the
activities
are
within
the
city
limits.
D
These
programs
started
in
the
mid
1990s.
They
offer
both
short
and
long
term
commitments
anywhere
from
a
one-day
event
to
a
two-year
commitment.
All
offer
a
no-cost
option
takes
place,
though
stated
within
the
city
limits.
Anyone
can
participate,
but
the
activity
has
to
be
here
so
that
leads
us
to
this
problem
of
litter.
We've
had
these
programs
going
for
a
couple
decades
now.
Litter
is
still
an
issue,
so
we
took
it
some
time
to
take
a
look
at
litter
specifically,
so
what
do
we
mean
by
litter?
D
We're
talking
about
wrappers,
plastic
bottles,
packaging?
That's
left
in
accumulations
of
less
than
one
cubic
foot
in
a
single
occurrence.
It
can
accumulate
into
more
than
that,
but
we're
talking
about
just
leaving
a
wrapper
in
it
on
the
ground,
not
in
a
receptacle
when
it's
dumped
in
larger
amounts
or
cubic
foot
or
more.
We
treat
that
as
illegal
dumping,
a
very
similar
problem,
so
livability
issue,
but
the
process
is
a
little
bit
different
on
the
internal
side,
never
exist
or
why
we
care
about
litter
will
reduces
livability.
D
D
As
you
can
see
on
this
slide?
It's
not
as
simple
as
one
entity
and
this
area.
It
isn't
that
it
has
a
litter
problem,
I
selected
it
just
because
you
can
see
in
one
view
that
it
could
be
multiple
entities.
You
might
not
know
that
just
being
on
the
street.
Looking
at
the
the
issues
they
always
just
Public
Works.
Let
me
contact
them
one.
In
fact,
it
could
be
multiple
entities.
D
D
We
began
meeting
bi-weekly
in
early
2017
to
brainstorm
ways
to
address
the
problem.
Our
team
focused
on
a
few
things:
prevention,
sustainability,
involving
the
community,
low
cost,
our
division,
no
cost
approaches,
and
we
landed
on
four
programs
and
in
the
next
few
slides
here,
I'm
gonna
just
give
a
high-level
overview
of
what
those
are
first
measurability.
So
the
first
program
is
a
benchmarking
annual
litter
scan
and
what
this
is
we
actually
visually
scan
the
city
and
rank
the
amount
of
litter
unskilled
one
to
four
to
come
up
with
hot
spots.
D
How
we
do
that,
there's
11
neighborhood
communities
in
each
of
those
neighborhood
communities,
there's
five
to
ten
segments
of
road
but
half
mile
to
a
mile,
each
that
we
drive
in
a
bus
and
have
four
scanners,
two
on
each
side,
I'm
visually,
watching
litter
and
ranking
it.
In
addition,
we
have
a
navigator
to
direct
the
driver
and
then
the
driver
of
the
vehicle.
Now
this
team
is
made
up
of
Public
Works
divisions.
D
Each
has
a
vested
interest
in
making
sure
that
the
litter
is
prevented,
but
also
that
this
measurement
is
accurate
and
so
solid
waste
obviously
want
to
see
that
our
programs
are
making
some
improvement
and
we
have
surface
water
and
sewer
the
city.
Stormwater
permit
requires
them
to
track
sources
of
pollution.
Minimize
that
we
have
a
number
of
pilot
projects
going
so
they're
involved.
D
D
D
The
next
is
request
for
litter
cleanup
supplies,
so
this
program
offers
no
Cass
supplies
to
volunteers
that
want
to
clean
up
litter
at
one
time
event:
multiple
Day
event.
Any
time
they
want
to
participate
in
cleaning
up
litter
in
the
city
will
give
them
supplies
at
no
charge
full
bags,
so
once
they
collect
the
litter
of
those
bags
are
placed
either
in
their
garbage
cart.
Next
to
it
or
next
so
privately
serviced
dumpster,
the
bags
are
yellow,
indicates
a
volunteer
activity,
doesn't
result
in
any
excess
garbage
taking.
D
We
have
provided
these
supplies
in
the
past
through
a
special
request
program
or
through
got
programs,
but
this
is
more
for
tracking
amount
of
supplies,
what's
being
cleaned,
where's
being
clean
who's
participating,
so
we've
really
refined
what
we're
gonna
measure
with
this
program
clean,
City
classroom.
This
is
in
its
pilot
stages.
This
is
a
curriculum,
so
clean
city
classroom
takes
the
waste
in
place
a
curriculum.
It's
a
National,
Education
Association,
accredited
curriculum
combines
it
with
our
clean
city
programs
and
then
the
availability
of
expert
presenters
on
recycling
and
clean
city
to
Minneapolis
Public
Schools.
D
Litter
begone:
this
was
on
the
consent
agenda,
so
this
is
actually
an
event.
It's
going
to
be
an
annual
event
in
the
fall
of
each
year,
where
we
it's
very
similar
to
Earth
Day,
where
we
have
multiple
sites
and
the
entire
city
is
cleaned
with
volunteers,
and
then
we
have
a
non-profit
help
us
execute
the
event
and
handle
some
of
the
organizational
details
of
the
event,
and
that
concludes
the
short
presentation
on
where
we're
headed
with
litter
abatement
and
prevention.
There
any
questions
I.
A
Just
make
the
comment
that
we
do
take
this
very
seriously:
it's
not
just
a
matter
of
our
environmental
initiatives
and
just
being
a
fastidious
City,
but
when
you
go
to
sort
of
a
meet
Minneapolis
meeting,
you
look
at
all
the
surveys
in
terms
what
the
impression
of
Minneapolis
is.
It's
that
we're
a
clean,
safe,
friendly
City,
and
so
this
is
a
big
part
of
what
we
are
as
a
city
and
how
we
promote
ourselves
and
even
drives
our
economy
to
a
certain
degree
and
I
apologize.
A
E
You
know
we
always
look
on
with
some
jealousy
at
the
really
great
trash
removal
services
that
are
offered
to
buildings
below
for
units,
because
the
majority
of
Ward
3
lives
in
bigger
buildings
than
that,
and
this
is
one
program
that
we
all
really
benefit
from
and
that
people
are
really
enthusiastic
about
and
I'll
just
say,
the
Northwood
Neighborhood
Association
and
just
had
about
200
of
these
yellow
bags
that
they
handed
out
to
everybody
at
the
Association
meeting.
And
everybody
was
really
excited
about
it.
E
F
This
whole
report
reminded
me
of
a
staff
direction
that
the
council
passed
last
August.
I
know
that
we've
had
a
lot
of
discussions
in
the
last
couple
years
about
what
to
do
with
litter,
especially
on
plastic,
litter
and
I
believe
that
there
was
a
direction
about
finding
more
sources
to
deal
with
litter
cleanup
if
this
I'm
curious,
if
this
is
at
all
responsive
to
that
staff
direction
and
also
what
is
the
revenue
that
you're
using
to
fund
these
programs?
Well,.
D
I
will
say
it's
running
parallel,
so
currently
we
are
not
using
that
staff
direction
to
fund
the
program.
We
are
using
solid
waste
recycling
enterprise
funds.
In
addition
to
when
we
partner
with
this
nonprofit,
they
will
be
able
to
accept
donations,
which
will
be
recorded
by
the
city,
but
to
offset
the
cost
of
the
program
so
with
all
four
annual
operating
expenses
are
expected
to
increase
about
61
thousand
total
for
all
four
programs,
the
majority
being
clean
to
the
classroom,
the
curriculum
the
guides
are
actually
the
most
expensive
item
so.
