Page 3 of 7
BCWMC November 16, 2016, Meeting Minutes
learn about the projects. She reported that students did a significant amount of research on
historical and environmental aspects of the sites and the watershed. Mr. Bohrnsen reported that
laminated cards with a QR code will be placed at each project location so that visitors can access
the virtual tour on their mobile device.Administrator Jester reported the final "virtual tours"of the
four projects are posted on the BCWMC website and that she is collaborating with the
communications department at the Blake School to write a press release. She walked through the
virtual tour of the Northwood Lake Project on the screen for Commissioners.
The Blake School staff thanked the Commission for partnering on this project. Commissioners
indicated that this was a great project that could possibly be promoted with other schools.
Administrator Jester was directed to submit the press release to cities for inclusion in their
newsletters. Administrator Jester was encouraged to find additional ways to promote the use of
the virtual tours by the public.
A. Receive Presentation on Medicine Lake Road and Winnetka Avenue Area(De Cola Ponds)Long-
term Flood Mitigation Plan
Commission Engineer Chandler provided a brief overview of the project, noting that it was the
outcome of several studies due to the long history of flooding in the area, including flooding at the
low point on Medicine Lake Road east of Winnetka Avenue,and downstream in the DeCola Ponds
system.She reported that the Cities of Golden Valley, New Hope,and Crystal recognized the
magnitude of flooding,the potential public safety issues,and the need to address the flooding
issues. She reported that the three Cities supported the development of the long-term flood
mitigation plan.She noted that Barr Engineering completed the long-term flood mitigation plan in
May 2016 and that it outlines critical flood mitigation projects and planning level costs that can be
used to direct future efforts.
Mr. Oliver noted that flooding is still a reality in Golden Valley and New Hope and that flooding on
Medicine Lake Road prevents emergency response in some areas. He noted a series of community
meetings were held resulting in consensus that something needed to be done to address the issue,
but that differences remain on ultimate solutions.
Jen Koehler with Barr Engineering presented the results of the flood mitigation plan, noting the
study took place between 2014—2016 and used Atlas 14 data which resulted in a 23%increase in
flood levels. She reported that 39 structures are at risk of flooding during a 100-year event
including commercial property,single family homes, and multifamily properties.She reported that
the study found more focus needs to be given to providing additional flood storage in the
watershed.
[Commissioners Elder and Mueller depart the meeting.]
Mr. Oliver noted that the Liberty Crossing redevelopment project in Golden Valley is addressing
some flooding issues by providing flood storage and that other projects are underway as well. He
noted that flood reduction is at the top of Golden Valley's legislative priorities for bonding in 2016
and 2017 and that the city has strong support from Minnesota Department of Natural Resources.
Further, Mr.Oliver noted that improvements in water quality that are realized along with flood
reductions also help improve the chance to receive funding. He noted that future BCWMC CIP
projects(already on the 5-year CIP list and other projects in later years)will address flooding,along
Page 4 of 7
BCWMC November 16, 2016, Meeting Minutes
with water quality.
There was some discussion about how potential flood reduction projects are prioritized. Ms.
Koehler noted that the area is very complicated hydraulically,and that projects are prioritized
according to property ownership, likelihood of implementation,and adjacency to flooding areas.
Commissioner Carlson noted that several properties in the City of Medicine Lake are inundated
with flood waters almost every year, preventing access to homes. Administrator Jester noted that
the TAC and Commission will be considering a flood reduction CIP project in Medicine Lake in early
2017.
There was further discussion about ways to reduce flooding in Golden Valley and New Hope
including wetland restoration,and subsurface storage. Mr.Oliver reported that the Liberty
Crossing Project includes excavation of contaminated sediment and underground stormwater
storage and treatment. He also noted that an area south of the SEA School may use subsurface
storage and treatment as well as multiple projects in New Hope. Commissioner Hoschka noted that
city councils and planning commissions need to be educated about Atlas 14 precipitation amounts
and resulting flood elevations. Commissioner Black praised Golden Valley, New Hope, and Crystal
for working together to find solutions.
[Commissioner Hoschka departs the meeting. Alt. Commissioner McDonald Black assumes Golden
Valley representation.]
Bi.Consider Administrative Services Committee Recommendations—Policy Manual Updates
Administrator Jester reported that at their meeting on November 4th,the Administrative Services
Committee discussed several policy-related items and that the committee forwards several
recommendations to the Commission. She reported that the draft BCWMC Policy document
included in the meeting packet includes an excerpt of the complete policy manual that has been a
work in progress for several years. She noted that some sections were previously adopted and that
others were never formally adopted. She walked through the policies recommended for approval
by the committee including policies 2.1—2.11 (excluding 2.6),which cover internal governance
policies.
For Policy 2.4 regarding city responsibilities,Administrator Jester noted that the committee
recommends that the"strategies to implement" policy be removed from the document as they are
restated in the 2015 Watershed Management Plan and in the BCWMC Roles and Responsibilities
document (which will be Appendix A in the policy manual).
For Policy 2.7 regarding policies and procedures for public access to documents,Administrator
Jester noted that it includes the approval of the Data Practices Procedure developed by the
Commission's legal counsel in Appendix C.There was some discussion of the costs that can or
should be charged for gathering and providing documents under this policy. Commissioner Welch
suggested giving the Administrator discretion regarding fees for providing electronic documents.
Administrator Jester noted that policy 2.8 would be revised to indicate that BCWMC consultants
will be reimbursed mileage as specified in contracts and that Commissioners will not be allowed to
be reimbursed for travel to and from regular BCWMC meetings.

2015,the Commission agreed to allow the cities of New Hope and Golden Valley to take partial
credit for pollutant removals from BCWMC CIP projects for adjacent city projects in order to comply
with the Commission's water quality standards or Minimal Impact Design Standards(MIDS)
requirements for linear developments/projects. She reported that this was allowed because the
cities were providing some funding for the CIP projects, but that no guidance existed to help the
Commission's decision-making process. She walked through the policies proposed by the
Administrative Services Committee. Commissioner Welch indicated that the policies may need to
allow for more flexibility, need to address the MS4 credit, and that the CIP feasibility study stage
may be too early to set credits and cost sharing.
Commissioners requested Commissioner Welch provide input on the draft policy and that the TAC
review the revised policy for consideration at a future Commission meeting.
SE.Approval of Project at 226 Peninsula Road, Medicine Lake
(Previously on consent agenda.) Commissioner Welch asked about wetland impacts and whether or
not a wetland buffer would be required. Commission Engineer Chandler reported that the BCWMC
wetland buffer requirements are to be included in member city ordinances and enforced by cities.
She noted that Commission Engineers do not review projects for buffers.
MOTION:Commissioner Carlson moved to approve the proiect with recommendations in the
Engineer's memo.Seconded by Commissioner Welch.
Discussion: Commissioner Black indicated that she did not support that motion because other cities
are implementing floodplain and wetland protections and that the city of Medicine Lake is not
taking a proactive approach with projects in their city. Commissioner Carlson noted that the
homeowner at 226 Peninsula Road had spent a considerable amount of money addressing the issue
correctly and that many other homeowners are in the same position of needing more reliable
access to their homes during high water.There was further discussion about wetland buffers,their
implementation in Plymouth, and the previous opportunity the Commission had to enforce buffer
requirements during development of the 2015 Watershed Plan.
Upon a vote,the motion carried 5-1. [Plymouth voted against the motion. The cities of
Minnetonka, New Hope, and Crystal were absent from the vote.]

3. D. 1. Indoor Play Structure at the New Brookview
Prepared By
Rick Birno, Director of Parks and Recreation
Summary
The new Brookview includes an indoor play area for youth and families. Staff advertised and sent
out a request for proposal (RFP) for competitive bids to provide a new indoor play structure during
September of 2016. Five proposals were submitted and reviewed by the project architect and
staff. The submitted proposals received are as follows:
Indoor Play Structure Bids:
National Playground $212,496.18
Orcacoast Playgrounds (MN/WI Playground)$296,500.00
Play Power/Soft Play $356,141.00
International Playground Company $387,942.00
Commercial Recreation Specialty $397,000.00
The amount in the project budget for the indoor play structure is $400,000.
After review, the low bid proposal was rejected by both the project architect and staff. The
proposal did not meet the intent of the RFP. Specific areas identified include however not limited
to overall use of both vertical and horizontal space, space allowed for and creativity of pre-school
play area, creativity of structure design, overall play value, and structure capacity.
Staff is recommending the next low bid proposal, Orcacoast (distributed through
Minnesota/Wisconsin Playground) for the total expense of $296,500.
Staff is also recommending a change order in addition to the base bid proposal. Due to the nature
of the competitive bid process, key elements, custom concepts and play value amenities are
difficult to specify. After review of the base bid design, staff is recommending that a large backyard
entry focal point tree concept with logo be added. In addition to the tree, staff is also
recommending additional upper level horizontal suspension areas be added at the top of the
proposed structure. Play value amenities have been added throughout the structure including
bumper balls, activity bags, crawl tubes, structure windows, roof liners and triangle decks. The
amount for all of the change order additions with installation is $58,503. The total for the base bid
project and the change order is $355,003 and lower than the next competitive bid in the formal
process.
Installation of the proposed equipment in the new Brookview is scheduled for late summer of
2017. The proposed equipment conforms to all ADA, ASTM (F1918-12) and the IBC section #424
for indoor play structures.

3. E. Award Contract for the DeCola Pond F Dredging Project #16-19
Prepared By
Jeff Oliver, PE, City Engineer
Tom Hoffman, Water Resources Technician
Summary
The City of Golden Valley has a National Pollutant Discharge Elimination System (NPDES) permit
through the Minnesota Pollution Control Agency (MPCA) to discharge stormwater into public
water ways. One of the conditions of the permit is that routine and major maintenance be
performed to keep the best management practices of the City functioning as designed.
Stormwater ponds are designed to treat stormwater before discharging further downstream. The
ponds slow the water and allow a greater amount of time for sediment and other pollutants to
filter out of the water column and to the bottom of the pond. Over time the material on the
bottom of the pond accumulates and lowers the treatment capacity of the pond. In order to keep
the capacity for stormwater treatment, periodic dredging of these sediments is required and
dredging will allow the stormwater pond to maximize the water quality treatment.
In 2015, approval was given by council for staff to complete a Stormwater and wetland assessment
program to determine which ponds are in need of dredging. DeCola Pond F was identified as a high
priority for dredging. In 2016, approval was given by council for staff to
Staff advertised for bids from qualified contractors to have the pond dredging performed. Staff
received the following bids listed below:
Rachel Contracting $159,811
Ramsey Companies $176,100
U.S. Site Work $180,801
Frattalone Companies $185,580
New Look Contracting, Inc.$188,415
Veit & Company, Inc.$196,412
Swan Companies $218,191
Peterson Companies $262,166
Staff has reviewed the bids and has found them to be accurate and acceptable. The 2016-2020
Capital Improvement Program (CIP) SS#23 included $150,000 to fund this project of which $21,750
was used for design services and plans. The remaining funds will be used from the 2017-2021 CIP
#SS-12.

3. F. Execute Hennepin County Residential Recycling Grant Agreement
Prepared By
Marc Nevinski, Physical Development Director
Summary
The City has a grant agreement with Hennepin County that will provide SCORE (Select Committee
On Recycling and Environment) funds from the state to fund the collection of curbside recycling.
The agreement is from January 1, 2017 to December 31, 2020, although it may be amended.
This agreement is similar to previous agreements in that it identifies a funding formula and
schedule for annual grant payments but differs that the county has adopted new policies to
allocate more money to cities for organics collection. Under this new policy SCORE funds will be
increasingly allocated to fund organics collection, thereby reducing the amount of dollars
available for curbside recycling. Specifically, cities will see a 20% reduction in SCORE funds for
recycling in 2017, and an additional 10% reduction each year until 2020 when SCORE funds will
be evenly split between organics and recycling. Golden Valley is projected to see a $6000
reduction in SCORE funding in 2017. The total funding from Hennepin County is about 13.4% of
the total revenue or $61,250 for 2017.
At this time, it is recommended that Council adopt the resolution so that SCORE funds can be
received in 2017. Staff will explore options for organics collection and also prepare for the tri-city
recycling contract to end in December 2018.

Attachment A
Hennepin County Residential
Recycling Funding Policy
January 1, 2017 — December 31, 2020
Board Adopted: November 29, 2016
Public Works
Environment and Energy Department
I. Policy Description
A. Background
The Hennepin County Board of Commissioners has determined that curbside collection of
rec clables and organics from Hennepin Count residents is an effective strategy to reduce
Y 9 P Y
reliance on landfills, prevent pollution, conserve natural resources and energy, improve public
health, support the economy, and reduce greenhouse gases.Therefore, the county adopted the
goals established in State Statute and by the Minnesota Pollution Control Agency (MPCA) in its
Metropolitan Solid Waste Management Policy Plan and developed a Residential Recycling
Funding Policy to help reach a 75% recycling rate by 2030.
The county will distribute all Select Committee on Recycling and the Environment (SCORE) funds
received from the state to cities for curbside collection of residential recyclables and organics. If
cities form a joint powers organization responsible for managing a comprehensive recycling and
waste education system for the residents of those cities, the county will distribute recycling and
organics grants to that organization. Cities are expected to fulfill the conditions of the policy.
B. Term of the Policy
Hennepin County is committed to implement this policy and continue distributing all SCORE
funds received from the state for the purpose of funding curbside residential recycling and
organics programs from January 1, 2017 through December 31, 2020. The county may revise this
policy if it determines changes are needed to assure compliance with state law and MPCA goals
established for metropolitan counties. In the event that SCORE funds are eliminated from the
state budget or significantly reduced, the county will consult with municipalities at that time and
develop a subsequent recommendation to the board on continuation of this policy and future
funding of curbside recycling and organics programs.
C. Grant Agreements
Each municipality seeking funding under the terms of the Residential Recycling Funding Policy
must enter into a recycling grant agreement with the county for a term concurrent with the
expiration of this policy, December 31, 2020. The grant agreement must be accompanied by a
resolution authorizing the city to enter into such an agreement.
D. Fund Distribution
The county will distribute to Hennepin County municipalities 100% of SCORE funds that the
county receives from the state. SCORE funds will be dedicated to two different purposes: 1)
1
curbside recycling and 2) curbside organics recycling. SCORE funds are based on revenue
received by the State of Minnesota from the solid waste management (SWM) tax on garbage
services. SCORE funds are subject to change based on the SWM tax revenue received by the
state and funds allocated by the legislature. Funds distributed to municipalities for the current
calendar year will be based on SCORE funds received by the county in the state's corresponding
fiscal year.
II. Recycling
A. Allocation of Funds
The following formula will be utilized to determine a city's recycling SCORE grant each year.
Percent of SCORE funds allocated to curbside recycling:
2017 80%
2018 70%
2019 60%
2020 50%
City recycling grant calculation:
Number of households with
curbside recycling in city Total SCORE Recycling grant
------------------------------- x Funds available = amount available
Total number of households for recycling to the city
with curbside recycling in
county
Eligible residential households are defined as single family through eight-plex residential
buildings or other residential buildings where each housing unit sets out its own recycling
container for curbside collection. The number of eligible households will be determined by
counting the number of eligible households on January 1 of each funding year. The city will
report the number in its application for funding.
B. Application for Funding
Each municipality must complete an annual grant application by February 15 to receive funding
for that year. The application consists of a web-based report and a planning document provided
by the county. The web-based report asks for contract, program, tonnage, and financial
2
information. The participation rate for the curbside recycling program must also be included in
the web-based report. The municipality must calculate its participation rate during the month of
October. The methodology for measuring participation must be provided to the county upon
request. The planning document asks for a description of activities the city will implement to
increase recycling and make progress toward county objectives.
C. Use of Funds
The following requirements apply to the use of recycling funds:
1. All grant funds accepted from the county must be used for waste reduction and recycling
capital and operating expenses in the year granted. The county will not reimburse any
funds in excess of actual expenses.
2. A municipality or joint powers organization may not charge its residents through
property tax, utility fees, or any other method for the portion of its recycling program
costs that are funded by county grant funds.
3. Municipalities must establish a separate accounting mechanism, such as a project
number, activity number, or fund that will separate recycling revenues and expenditures
from other municipal activities, including solid waste and yard waste activities.
4. Recycling and waste reduction activities, revenues, and expenditures are subject to audit.
5. Municipalities that do not contract for curbside recycling services will receive grant funds
provided that at least 90% of the grant funds are credited back to residents and the city
meets all minimum program requirements. The additional 10% may be used for
municipal administrative and promotional expenses.
D. City Requirements
1. Materials Accepted
At a minimum, the following materials must be collected curbside:
• Metal food and beverage cans;
• Glass food and beverage containers;
• Cardboard boxes;
• Newspaper and inserts;
• Mail, office and school papers;
3
• Cereal, cracker, pasta, cake mix, shoe, gift, and electronics boxes;
• Boxes from toothpaste, medications and other toiletries;
• Magazines and catalogs;
• Aseptic and gable-topped containers; and
• Plastic bottles and containers,#1 - Polyethylene Terephthalate (PET, PETE), #2 High
Density Polyethylene (HDPE), #4- Low Density Polyethylene(LDPE) and #5-
Polypropylene (PP) plastic bottles, except those that previously contained hazardous
materials or motor oil.
The county may add materials to this list and require municipalities to begin collection within
one year of receiving notification from the county. Municipalities will notify the county if
materials not found on this list will be collected.
2. Education and Outreach
The partnership between the county and municipalities has been highly effective in
educating residents and motivating behavior change. In order to continue this partnership
and increase these efforts, program activities of municipalities must be coordinated with
county and regional efforts. Municipalities must adhere to the following requirements:
a. Use county terminology when describing recycling guidelines, including the
description of materials accepted and not accepted, preparation guidelines, and
promotional materials;
b. Use images provided by the county or the Solid Waste Management Coordinating
Board (SWMCB) if using images of recyclables;
c. Provide recycling information on the city's website, including materials accepted and
not accepted, a recycling calendar, and links to county resources;
d. Mail a recycling guide to residents each year using a template developed jointly with
the county. The county will design and print the guide. If a municipality does not use
the template produced by the county, the municipality may develop its own guide at
the municipality's expense, but it must be approved by the county. If the municipality
relies on the hauler to provide the recycling guide, this guide requires approval by
the county.
e. Complete two educational activities from a menu of options developed by the
county.
4
Any print material that communicates residential recycling guidelines that were not provided
by the county template will require county approval. This does not apply to waste reduction
and reuse, articles on recycling that do not include guidelines, or social media posts.The
county will respond within five business days to any communication piece submitted.
3. Recycling Performance
On an annual basis, municipal recycling programs must demonstrate that a reasonable effort
has been made to maintain and increase the pounds of recyclables per household collected
from their residential recycling programs.
If a municipality does not demonstrate measureable progress, a recycling improvement plan
must be submitted by the municipality within 90 days of being notified by the county. The
recycling improvement plan must be negotiated with the county and specify the efforts that
will be undertaken by the municipality to improve its recycling program to yield the results
necessary to achieve county objectives.
In cooperation with the county, the municipality may be required to participate in waste and
recycling sorts to identify recovery levels of various recyclables in its community. Based on
the results of the study, the county and municipality will collaborate to increase the recovery
of select recyclable materials being discarded in significant quantities.
E. Grant Payments
The county will make two equal payments to the municipality. One payment will be made after
the county receives the application, which consists of the web-based report and the planning
document. A second payment will be made after basic program requirements, education and
outreach requirements, and recycling performance have been confirmed and approved.If the
municipality meets the county requirements, both payments will be made during the same
calendar year. Funding will be withheld until the municipality meets the requirements of this
policy.
III. Organics Recycling
A. Allocation of Funds
The following formula will be utilized to determine a city's organics recycling SCORE grant each
year:
5
Percent of SCORE funds allocated to curbside organics recycling:
2017 20%
2018 30%
2019 40%
2020 50%
City organics recycling grant calculation:
Number of households with
curbside organics in city Total SCORE Organics grant
--------------------------------- x funds available for = amount available
Total number of households organics to the city
with curbside organics in
county
If the formula above results in cities receiving grants where the dollar amount per participating
household is greater than $25 per year, then a cap will apply. The funding cap per participating
household is $25 per year. The most the county will grant a city is $25 per participating
household per year. If funds are left over because of the cap, those funds will carry over into the
following year's SCORE funds.
Eligible residential households are defined as single family through eight-plex residential
buildings or other residential buildings where the household is signed up for organics service
and the household sets out its own container with organics for curbside collection. The number
of eligible households will be determined by counting the number of eligible households on
September 1 of each funding year. The city will report the number in the application for funding.
B. Application for Funds
Each municipality must complete an annual application provided by the county by September 1
to receive funding. As a part of the application, a city must submit the number of households
signed up for and receiving curbside organics service.
C. Use of Funds
The grant funds may be used for program expenses, including the following:
• Discount to new customers
• Discount to existing customers
• Referral incentives
• City contract costs
6
• Education and outreach
• Compostable bags
• Kitchen containers
• Carts
Program administration is not an eligible expense. Yard waste expenses are not eligible. If
organics are co-collected with other waste, the organics expenses must be tracked separately. If
a city passes funds through to a hauler, 100% of those funds must be credited to residents' bills.
In addition, the following requirements apply:
• All grant funds must be used during the term of the agreement. Funds not spent must be
returned to the county.
• Funds must be expended on eligible activities per Minnesota State Statute 115A.557.
• A municipality or joint powers organization may not charge its residents through
property tax, utility fees, or any other method for the portion of its organics program
costs that are funded by county grant funds.
• Municipalities must account for organics expenditures separately upon request by the
county. Expenditures are subject to audit.
D. Education and Outreach Requirements
The partnership between the county and municipalities has been highly effective in educating
residents and motivating behavior change. In order to continue this partnership and increase
these efforts, program activities of municipalities must be coordinated with county and regional
efforts. The following requirements apply:
1. Use county terminology when describing organics recycling guidelines, including the
description of materials accepted and not accepted, preparation guidelines, and
promotional materials;
2. Use images provided by the county or the SWMCB if using images of organic materials;
3. Provide organics recycling information on the city's website, including material accepted
and not accepted, service options, and links to county resources;
4. Work with the county to develop promotional resources to increase participation.
7
E. Reporting
A report on the city's organics program must be submitted electronically to the county by
February 15 following each year. The report must include, but is not limited to, the following:
Basic Program Information
• Hauler(s)
• Collection method
• Where organics were delivered to and processed
• Is service opt-in or opt-out
• Cost of service to residents; contract cost for city
• How the service was billed
• Items included in service, such as curbside collection, cart, compostable bags, etc.
Results
• Tons
• Number of households signed up
• Average pounds per household per year
• Participation (set-out rate on pickup day)
• Program costs
• How funds were used
F. Grant Payment
The county will make one organics grant payment to a municipality each year. The payment will
be made after the county receives the application and confirms that the municipality meets the
requirements of this policy.

largely by males and those predominantly held by females. Each local government jurisdiction must
periodically submit a Pay Equity Implementation Report, as provided by Minnesota Statutes, Section
471.9981,to determine whether or not it is in compliance with the law.
This report is based upon the employees hired and salaries paid as of December 31, 2016. Attached
is a copy of the report that the City must send to Minnesota Management and Budget (MMB).
Please be aware that the maximum salaries include the maximum City contribution for insurance as
