After discussing gun laws with students from St. Louis Park High School at a May 21 study session, Mayor Jake Spano said, "We're openly discussing flouting state law and getting sued. I'm not interested in picking fights for no reason, but at the same time this has got to stop." Sophomore Ruby Stillman said she asked Spano what he would do about gun violence during a March for Our Lives event. The mayor responded by inviting Stillman to bring students to talk to the council. Students at the study session described their fears about finding places to hide in case of a school shooting. "School should be a place where we can learn or in an environment where we're completely focused on learning and not where we have to hide if something were to happen," sophomore Anna Long said. "And we shouldn't be scared that that could happen any day." In a school of about 1,400 students, one school resource officer cannot cover the entire building, freshman Gabe Kaplan said. Students discussed what they viewed as a need for another officer in the school, more physical barriers and protective measures and more counselors. However, they also alluded to gun laws. "The mindset that the city can't really do anything is somewhat realistic, but that's not all the point," Stillman said. "The fact that the city is even trying and the fact that you're listening to us sends a really important message." City Attorney Soren Mattick outlined the difficulty St. Louis Park would have in making changes to gun laws at the city level. Minnesota law states that the Legislature preempts all authority cities and counties have to regulate firearms and ammunition except that cities can regulate the discharge of firearms and may adopt regulations identical to state law. "Local regulation inconsistent with this section is void," the law states. Mattick said, "As we move forward, I know there will be some brainstorming and ideas of what we can and can't do, but the legislation is pretty clear on this one, at least as a starting point." He said the city could regulate through zoning the location of stores that sell firearms. In St. Louis Park, the sale of guns generally is treated like other retail uses. That detail prompted Spano to inquire whether the city could limit the sale of guns to one location and ban it elsewhere. "Could that be City Hall?" Councilmember Anne Mavity followed up, hinting at a move that would effectively prevent gun stores in the city. The city could grandfather in Frontiersman Sports, an existing gun store, Spano said. "But it would make it that we wouldn't have another business," he said. Mattick said the city's zoning ordinances must be reasonable, not arbitrary and nondiscriminatory. Mavity replied, "I would be very interested in exploring the front edge of reasonableness and creating some sort of draft language that would make a statement about what's reasonable and what's not.... We could summarily just say it's not reasonable to sell them here." She added, "We're just saying it doesn't pass the reasonableness test in a community like ours. She said she wanted to explore the city's broader authority relating to public safety "with the conclusion that there's some type of restrictions on gun sales, certainly." Councilmember Thom Miller said he would like to more fully understand the state law and the potential for the city to ban assault weapons. "I fully understand it would not be a fully effectual ordinance in our city, but I wonder if there would be a discussion about how it might change attitudes or how it would change perceptions in our city," Miller said. He wondered about "any wiggle room" for restrictions on guns near a school, but Councilmember Tim Brausen, an attorney, said, "There's really no wiggle room, even though I totally agree with you — I'd like to push the envelope." He recommended that the council make gun laws a legislative priority. "It's really urgent on all of us to get on our state legislators because they're the ones who can change this," Brausen said. Spano responded that Sen. Ron Latz (DFL-St. Louis Park) talked about gun safety frequently but that his proposals had been buried in committee. Councilmember Steve Hallfin said he had believed the study session would be a waste of time due to the state law limiting cities, but he said students had helped change his thought process. "I'm glad you guys came and opened our eyes a bit about what you guys were thinking about," he said to students. Spano said the council should consider digging into potential zoning restrictions and other measures the city could take. In addition to Frontiersman Sports, City Manager Tom Harmening said that nine individuals in St. Louis Park have federal firearms licenses that allow them to buy and sell firearms of any legal type. The police department has sold its used firearms to Frontiersman Sports. "Their intent is to be financially good stewards," Harmening said. "It may conflict with some other stewardship considerations that you have." Mavity suggested that the old weapons could be used for public art instead. She encouraged the city to take action on gun laws soon. "This is a public health risk right now and we should be dealing with this," Mavity said. "We don't usually mind being first." Spano later signed a proclamation marking National Gun Violence Awareness Day Friday, June 1. Stillman said she felt satisfied with the council discussion. She said, "Their response was promising because they seemed very motivated to work with us and push the limits of the city power, and I was very impressed by that."

Photo by Lara Bockenstedt EXCELSIOR — Lake Minnetonka March for our Lives will parade through Lake Street on Aug. 18, the Excelsior City Council voted at their meeting Monday,June 4. The event was created to honor students from around the metro who marched out of classes in protest of gun-related school violence, said Tonka Bay resident Tim Duff. "I think your willingness to move this to the 18th of August makes this a lot easier to plan and think things through," said council memberjohn Beattie. Duff, alongside Lake Minnetonka Living Liberally, Protest Minnesota and the League of Women Voters, requested a permit to parade down Water Street and to meet for music and festivities at The Commons on duly 14. Excelsior City Council said didn't grant a permit at its May 7 meeting due to unknown variables in safety and congestion. Soon after, the American Civil Liberties Union entered, saying in a letter that the council couldn't make a decision for or against based on content. Meetings ensued where organizer Duff and council members worked to find solutions. Together, they came up with changes: • The parade moved from Water Street to Lake Street. • Lake Street would close one hour prior to the march and two hours after. • Volunteers will be stationed on the resident side of Lake Street to lessen movement on private properties. • Facebook RSVPs would be used to keep track of anticipated attendance and plan accordingly. • Congestion before and after would be handled with shuttling in/out, Uber and Lyft drop-off locations, • Attendees would be encouraged to arrive early and leave later. The Rev. Nancy Nord Bence of Protect Minnesota and David McKinney of ACLU said the predicted numbers of 3,000 to 5,000 are optimistic. The event would more plausibly draw 2,000, they said. Council members said they were concerned for what may happen if counter- protesters arrive. Beattie referenced the Charlottesville "Unite the Right" rally as moment where safety went awry at a political event. However, Excelsior can't really impose higher standards based on a heckler's deal, attorneyJohn Baker said. d. .y"ra I•^"lih ' h y .. 1 lifll: ..,two ,. ew"•^"'.'"�T q I a¢ p! p"9 ,�I�"�I, y , ,: "����Illfll�lllHlllllhl tiI d � �� Ntlm umt�py� ����pii411Np�pp sl�fllllyll�u611 k y r .�I°II A��I I�edl4yl llyduN�l lw Ile tow A Ilk A sergeant from the South Lake Minnetonka Police Department answered questions Buy Now regarding mutual aid at the City Council meeting.

Photo by Lara Bockenstedt "Events cannot be canceled based on the prospect that someone will be speaking in opposition to it," he said. Nord Bence responded, saying those instances aren't seen in Minnesota. The March for our Lives event at the Capitol drew 20,000 people without issue. The same was true, she said, at the Minnesota Gun Owners Caucus event at the Capitol with 2,000 in attendance, many of whom carry guns. "I recognize your job is to worry about public safety, and I really respect that," she said. "But I also think that it's really important to remember that these events in Minnesota are not contentious." And unlike the Fourth of July, she said, this event would be happening during the day and without alcohol. The students who involved are responsible and articulate. Politicians are not slated to speak at the event, and organizers are looking into local music gigs. Moving the event to Aug. 18 helped both parties, council members and organizers said. For the city, the South Lake Minnetonka Police Department would have more of a break after the Fourth of July. For both, there's more time to plan and anticipate event needs. No matter the content of the rally, Excelsior is strained with its addition, council members said. "We would like to feel good about how this event is managed," council member Jennifer Caron said. "I think you're taking steps to help this run smoothly, and that's what we're trying to do." The council is sympathetic to what the rally is trying to do, Excelsior Mayor Mark Gaylord said, but the city is seeing trouble with its growing popularity and consequent gridlock.

Ensure that residents have options for the type and level of waste disposal services they  desire.   Core services are standardize among haulers.     Open systems allow for customization of service, innovation and competition,  while organized systems are one‐size‐fits‐all.      2. Establish waste disposal practices that improve environmental outcomes.   Larger haulers moving towards Compressed Natural Gas (CNG) fleets. Harder for  smaller haulers to do so due to capital costs of trucks and fueling system.   Organics collection could require addition truck or trucks on the street.   Emphasize organics & recycling over waste collection    3. Establish standards for waste collection that minimize impacts to infrastructure and  enhance neighborhood livability (cleaner, safer, quieter, and healthier).   CNG fleet requirements, consider safety record and practices, manage truck  capacity/tonnage, reduce licenses, monitor axel weight    4. Avoid significant operational or capital cost increases to the City and residents.    Open system allows for competition and innovation, and reduce cost to cities   If organized, City will take customer calls, do problem solving, and may do billing    5. Increase the City’s and community’s understanding of the waste disposal process in  order to achieve its goals and those of its partner agencies.   Establish data points and reporting – MPCA now requiring   Build relationships with haulers   Resident education    A spectrum of options exist for curbside waste collection, ranging from an open system with  minimal city involvement to a highly organized system where a city manages a collection contract  or even performs the work itself. Golden Valley’s system is currently an open system and the City  has minimal involvement. While many residents and haulers prefer this type of system for a  variety of reasons, it is more difficult for a City to manage its infrastructure, set standards, track  performance metrics, or respond to livability concerns. Conversely, other residents are interested  in an organized collection system, although such a system does require more resources from a  city to implement and manage.    In light of the goals Council identified, as well as where Golden Valley currently falls on the  spectrum of options, staff suggests Council focus its discussion of waste collection to increasing  the standards for obtaining a license. An increase in standards might include the following:  1. limiting the number of hauling licenses available in the City;  2. reporting requirements by haulers for data collection and performance metrics;   3. modifying fees;   4. designating collection days;   5. other minimum requirements or performance standards.      Executive Summary Golden Valley Council/Manager Meeting July 10, 2018 Agenda Item 4. Curbside Recycling and Organics Collection Prepared By Marc Nevinski, Physical Development Director Summary The City’s residential recycling contract with Republic Services will expire on December 31, 2018, and staff is currently in discussions with Republic about extending the contract. Staff will review with Council the recycling market and review curbside organics options. Recycling Recycling markets are currently very soft. China has been the main market for recyclable commodities for many years, but in 2017 it significantly increased its quality standards for accepting such materials (the China National Sword). This shifted the supply and demand balance for recyclables and subsequently increased processing costs, reduced commodity values, left processors operating at a loss, and left cities without revenue from their materials. Recently China stopped accepting recyclable materials altogether, and alternative markets, particularly on the coasts, have not been well developed. While alternative markets exist in the Midwest, the excess supply of recyclables nationally reduces the overall commodity value. Developing new markets domestically and internationally will likely improve the commodity value, but the degree and timeframe to develop these markets is unknown. In general there are two distinct costs associated with curbside recycling – the collection costs and the processing costs. Collection costs include all the expenses associated with picking up recycling at the curb, such as trucks, carts, and labor. Processing costs include the costs to handle the recyclables once they’ve been picked up. Whereas waste is simply taken to a landfill, recyclables are taken to a facility to be sorted, cleaned, bundled, and sold. Residual materials which cannot be recycled also have to be removed and landfilled, which is a cost to the processor. Under the current the City’s current recycling contract, processing is funded by the sales of the commodities. When revenue from the sale of the commodities exceeds the processing costs, 100% of the excess revenue is rebated to the City. The attached chart shows what monthly rebates to the City have been since 2012. Currently processing costs exceed commodity sales. Recycling processors are operating at a loss and are looking for ways to minimize or eliminate those losses. Staff has discussed with Republic several different models for recycling given the current market and is continuing discussions to better understand their implications. Every Week Pick up Staff frequently receives questions or comments about the potential to move to weekly recycling collection, instead of biweekly, and asked Republic for a proposal to do so. Under a weekly collection model, recycling rates would increase 58% (over $5/month) and put more trucks on the road. Republic instead would prefer residents obtain a larger cart or add a free second cart. Organics Collection Residents have expressed interest in curbside organics collection. The 2016 Morris Leatherman Survey noted 44% interest in such service among respondents. Additionally, Hennepin County is considering mandating that cities offer curbside organics collection by 2022. There are three models currently in play for curbside organics collection: 1. Source Separated – Organic materials have their own container and are collected separately from other waste. Fridley recently launched such a collection program with Republic Services. 2. Co-collect with Yard Waste – Organic materials are collected in a biodegradable bag and put in the same container with yard waste. St. Louis Park and Columbia Heights collect organics using this model. 3. Co-collect with Trash – Organic material is collected in a special “blue bag”, placed in the trash cart, and separated from the trash at a processing facility. Republic Services has proposed a curbside collection option as part of the recycling contract extension. A separate cart would be available to households for organics only (Source Separated model). An All-In program, where all households financially participate, would add $5/month to each household. An Opt-in program, where households elected to participate in curbside collections, would cost over $20/ month per subscribing household. Interest and availability of curbside organics collection is increasing, although it is a sub-market that is continuing to evolve. Currently organics are either hauled to a facility in Empire Township or a facility operated by the Mdewakanton Sioux in Shakopee. Hennepin County recently released a request for qualifications to construct an anaerobic digester to process organics. Before enacting a curbside organics collection program, a number of factors should be considered: • How organics collection aligns with City goals • Hennepin County’s expected mandate for curbside organics collection • The evolution of the organics market (both collection and processing) • Options available for collection and trade-offs of different models • Opt-In vs All-In approaches Attachments: • Recycling Rebate Chart (1 page) $- $500 $1,000 $1,500 $2,000 $2,500 $3,000 $3,500 $4,000 $4,500 $5,000 $5,500 $6,000 $6,500 $7,000 $7,500 $8,000 $8,500 $9,000 $9,500 $10,000 $10,500 $11,000 $11,500 $12,000 $12,500 $13,000 $13,500 $14,000 $14,500 Jan-12Mar-12May-12Jul-12Sep-12Nov-12Jan-13Mar-13May-13Jul-13Sep-13Nov-13Jan-14Mar-14May-14Jul-14Sep-14Nov-14Jan-15Mar-15May-15Jul-15Sep-15Nov-15Jan-16Mar-16May-16Jul-16Sep-16Nov-16Jan-17Mar-17May-17Jul-17Sep-17Nov-17Jan-18Mar-18May-18Recycling Rebate January 2012 -May 2018 AGENDA L-1,0 0t Regular Meeting of the cddbi Housing and Redevelopment Authority valley Golden Valley City Hall 7800 Golden Valley Road Council Chamber July 17, 2018 6:30 pm Pages 1 .
