In 2010, a leadership team of firefighters from each of the five stations was formed to study the current service delivery model. This leadership team was called the Quality Improvement Committee or (QIC). The charge of the QIC was to study the current situation within and outside the Department; look at factors, forces, opportunities and threats affecting the Department’s promise of continuing to provide excellent cost effec- tive services. At the same time, sustainabil- ity was the galvanizing principle that guided all discussions, research and conclusions in developing the Department’s strategic plan. (The strategic plan can be found on the city website.) Some of the notable changes in our new delivery model were going from two ALS ambulances in service around-the-clock to three ALS ambulances operating around-the-clock and from staffing two fire stations around-the-clock to staffing three stations around-the-clock. The QIC team determined that to maximize the use of staff, it would be necessary to relocate and build new stations that would be sus- tainable and move us forward for the next 30 to 40 years in order to guarantee the community the best possible service level. It was determined that one station in the southern leg located centrally would meet these needs. The 3M Company has offered us a location on their campus and design plans are underway. We will rebuild the northern station at its existing location and remodel the station located in the Gladstone area. - continued on page 3 Bingo & Beer Frequently Called Numbers Maplewood City Hall General Information 651.249.2000 Monday - Friday 8:00 AM - 4:30PM Deputy Registrar and Passport Hours Monday: 8:00AM - 6:00PM Tuesday - Friday: 8:00AM - 4:30PM Maplewood Community Center Registration/Customer Service 651.249.2230 Admissions 651.249.2210 Theater/Banquet Room Rental 651.249.2103 Group Information 651.249.2206 Aquatics 651.249.2206 Fitness 651.249.2207 Maplewood Recreation General Information 651.249.2120 Maplewood Nature Center General Information 651.249.2170 Code Enforcement Hotline 651.249.CODE (2633) Online: Go to www.ci.maplewood.mn.us and click on “Report A Violation” on the right-hand side of the home page.

Fire Dept. We currently have 46 part-time firefighters and 15 full-time firefight- ers to cover the calls around-the-clock. In the event of a working structure fire, our neighboring departments are toned for the fire at the same time we are, and this method of delivery is called auto aid. In the past, departments would wait until they were on the scene and determine if they needed more resources and then would ask for assistance from the neighboring departments which was called mutual aid. By moving to an auto aid program, we were able to decrease the response time of additional resources that were needed. Auto aid is currently being used by many of the fire departments within Ramsey and Washington Counties. In 2011, we responded to 4,084 calls for service which was 266 more calls than we answered in 2010. Response times are impor- tant in the delivery of services no matter what type of service delivery model you use. In 2010, our average response time for fire calls was seven minutes and 16 seconds and in 2011 it was six minutes and 38 seconds. For medical responses, from 2009 to 2011, our average response time was six minutes and 30 seconds and in 2011, five minutes and 50 seconds. What is more important than response time is the quality of care a patient will receive when we arrive. In 2011, we moved our medi- cal direction to St. John’s Hospital under the direction of Dr. Peter Tanghe. Dr. Tanghe is actively involved in our medical training, dose ride-alongs or may just stop at a call if he’s in the area. He has also added new procedures and equipment to assist our medical personnel in better serving our customer’s medical needs. Maplewood EMS has begun offering hands only CPR training to the public. In the coming months, Maplewood’s EMT’s and paramed- ics will be offering this training to local businesses, churches and schools with the goal of improving the city of Maplewood’s by- stander CPR rates. If you would like more information or would like to host a class, please contact Michael Mondor Assistant Fire Chief/ EMS at michael.mondor@ci.maplewood.mn.us. The EMS field is ever-changing and today we are doing procedures in the field that were only done in the emergency room in the past. We had our groundbreaking ceremony and unveiling of the new East Metro public safety training facility on June 14, 2012. We are very excited about all the new opportunities for all types of training within all public safety disciplines that this new facility will provide. Our goal is to have the facility up and running by the fall of 2013. From all of us at the Maplewood Fire Department, have a safe and wonderful summer! Fire Chief Steve Lukin Council Cor n e r City of Maplewood 4 July 2012 Three Subjects Of Interest By Councilmember Bob Cardinal In this summer newsletter, you will read a little something about three subjects of interest. First: your neighborhood; Second: garbage; and Third: local business. So, here goes: What is the name of the neighborhood you live in? Can you define the logical boundaries of your neighborhood? Are there 50 or 100 or 200 or 300 or more homes in your neighborhood? What do you like best or most about your neighbor- hood? Why is your neighborhood important to you? What should the city do to keep neighborhoods strong? What is the single most important thing the city of Maplewood needs to know about your neighborhood? Lastly, how can the City of Maplewood make your neighborhood better? Please let us know. Now, why are we so obsessed with garbage? Please reflect on the following statements: • Americans are making 50% more garbage per person than the countries of Germany and Japan. • Garbage has become a measure of prosperity in America and in the world. • Trash is a picture of our lives and our priorities. • In the United States the garbage truck is now 1 out of every 6 trucks on the road. • Garbage in America mostly ends up in landfilling, approximately 70%. Recycling and composting, about 25%. Energy generated from waste, about 5%. Germany passes zero percent onto land fills, recycling about 65%, and burning incineration about 35%. The country of Bulgaria in Southeastern Europe passes all garbage, trash and waste to landfills. Recycling, composting, and burning incineration - zero percent. • Five percent of the world’s population lives in America and America accounts for nearly 25% of the world’s trash and garbage. • In America annually, we throw away about 35 billion plastic bottles; plastic would rate as the highest portion of what is thrown away. By the year 2000, Americans consumed 100 billion plastic shopping bags a year with estimated cost to retailers at 4 billion, cost passed onto consumers. Today, 10% of the world’s oil supply is used to make and distribute throw away plastics. Almost 30 billion pounds of food goes into waste, about 25% of the American food supply each year. • America is home to 4% of the world’s children. What percent of the world’s toys do Americans buy and throw away? Answer: 40% • How many plastic water bottles do Americans throw away a second? Answer: 694. • How much food do Americans throw in the trash every year? Answer: 96 billion pounds. • How many people can be fed with 5% of that wasted food? Answer: 4 million for a year. • How many of your food dollars are spent on packaging? Answer: $1 out of every $11 • How much energy is wasted on junk mail? Answer: 1 days’ worth could heat 250,000 homes. • How many liters of water are needed to make one liter of bottled water? Answer: 3 liters. • How much disposable plastic wrap is made each year in America? Answer: Enough to shrink wrap Texas. • How many non-recyclable Styrofoam cups do Americans throw away in a year? Answer: 25 billion, or enough cups to circle the earth over 400 times. • How much plastic trash ends up in the ocean? Answer: The United Nations estimates there are about 46 thousand pieces of plastic trash per square mile of ocean, and those 5 to 6 million tons of plastic trash are dumped, blown, or washed into the seven seas. A couple of ways to get started on the low waste path: Buy in bulk. It eliminates packaging and it can be more economical in the long run. Use handkerchiefs instead of paper tissues. Only recycle paper if it’s been printed on both sides, otherwise, use the blank side for making lists or jotting down notes. Use cloth napkins instead of paper napkins.

The City will supply the trash carts for the new service. In April the City mailed trash cart orders to all eligible homes requesting that residents submit their trash cart order by June 1, 2012. Trash cart size options include: 20 gallon, 32 gallon, 65 gallon and 95 gallon. During the trash cart order period the City received several questions regarding the carts and the trash plan. This article is intended to answer those questions and review the next steps in the implementation of the Maplewood Trash Plan. I didn’t get my cart order in on time, now what? Residents who did not submit a trash cart order by the June 1 deadline will be delivered a 95 gallon cart as the default size. do the prices include all fees and taxes? Yes, all fees and taxes are included. Following are the per-month, per-household prices (including taxes and cart fee) for each cart size: 20 gallon = $9.31 32 gallon = $10.63 65 gallon =$11.93 95 gallon =$13.39 The prices include the State solid waste management tax (9.75%), the Ramsey County environmental charge (28%), and the City’s trash cart fee (75 cents per month, per household to cover the cost of the City-owned trash carts). Is the 20 gallon every other week service level still available? Yes, residents must apply to the City to receive approval for this service level (forms are available at www.ci.maplewood.mn.us/ trash). This service level is designed for residents that have intermittent occupancy of their homes or that have an extremely small generation of trash. Cost for this service level is $6.83 per month (all taxes and cart fee included). Will the prices stay the same throughout the five-year contract with allied? The base prices remain fixed for five years. Overall pricing can be adjusted once a year based on inflationary factors including the cost of disposal at the designated resource recovery facility, Consumer Price Index, and the specified price of diesel fuel. The City Council will review price adjustments yearly and residents would be notified of any changes. Can you give me information on the make and color of the trash carts? The City is purchasing the trash carts through Otto Environmental Services. The trash carts carry a 10-year warranty and meet the engineering design standards of the American National Standards Institute (ANSI). New trash carts are manufactured with less plastic than older carts, creating more flexibility to hold up to the automated lift. The trash carts will be black in color and will contain the Maplewood logo and website on the sides of the cart. The Environmental and Natural Resources Commission chose the black carts for environmental and financial reasons – black carts are manufactured with up to 50% post consumer product (recycled trash carts), and for this reason the City received the lowest possible pricing on the black carts. when will the new trash carts be delivered? Allied Waste Services will begin delivering the trash carts on September 10, until final deliveries are made by the end of September. Can I switch cart sizes once they are delivered? The contract with Allied Waste Services allows for one free cart exchange per year, with a $10 fee for additional exchanges in one year. So if a resident finds that the trash cart that will be delivered to them in September is not the right fit for their household, they can exchange that cart immediately or anytime thereafter. do I have to cancel my current trash service? All licensed single-family residential trash haulers in the City of Maplewood have been notified that their trash hauling license will not be renewed past September 30 and that they must not enter into a contract or bill Maplewood residents past that date. what happens to our existing trash carts? The existing trash carts are owned by your current trash hauler. The existing haulers will pick up their trash carts in October. More information on this process will follow in a future City News article. - continued on next page City of Maplewood 7 July 2012 City News - Trash Plan continued from page 6 how do I order additional carts? Residents may request additional carts for use in cases of high volume trash generation. Examples include group homes or residential day cares. Following is the total cost of a second and subsequent cart (prices include taxes and cart fee): 20 gallon = $6.02 32 gallon = $7.34 65 gallon = $8.64 95 gallon = $10.01 The form to order additional carts can be found at www.ci.maplewood.mn.us/trash. Can I Opt Out of the Maplewood Trash Plan? All single-family residential properties (up to 4 units) are included in the City-wide trash service. There are a few exemptions where residential properties can opt out of trash service including: 1) extremely small generation of trash which allows you to self haul your trash to a licensed facility or share a trash cart with a neighbor or family member; 2) permission to use a commercial dumpster (i.e., own a business where you have licensed trash hauling or work for a business that allows you to use their commercial dumpster); and 3) vacant properties (temporary vacancy due to the sale of a house or foreclosure). Opt out forms are available at www.ci.maplewood.mn.us/trash and require documentation or signatures that verify that the property owner’s trash is being disposed of in an environmentally responsible manner. There is a one-time $35 fee for opting out of the Maplewood Trash Plan. This fee is used to cover the administrative costs associated with verifying trash is disposed of in an environmentally responsible manner. how do townhomes and manufactured homes opt into the Maplewood Trash Plan? Townhomes and manufactured home associations that have an existing contract with a trash hauler are exempt from the City’s new residential trash service, but may opt into the Maplewood Trash Plan at any time. Opt In forms are available at www.ci.maplewood. mn.us/trash. If associations choose to opt into the Maplewood Trash Plan, the association may choose one trash cart size for all residents within the association, or allow each resident to choose a size individually. Allied will bill the association for the trash service, unless other arrangements are made by the association and the city-contracted garbage hauler. Once an association opts into the trash plan, the association must continue to have City-contracted trash services (cannot opt out). Upon approval of an association’s opt in request, the trash cart orders will be placed and the City will notify the association when trash service under the Maplewood Trash Plan can begin, usually within 60 days of receipt of the opt in request. will yard waste be included in the Maplewood Trash Plan? Allied will be offering a yard waste subscription through the City-wide residential trash service. A yearly subscription will cost $79.50 and will be picked up weekly from April until November. The first year of the City-wide trash service Allied is offering a pro-rated subscription rate of $19.80 for the months of October and November 2012. Allied will be sending yard waste subscription information to all eligible residential households in August or September. Can I get walk up service if I have a physical limitation and can’t get the trash cart to the curb? Elderly residents or those with a physical limitation can apply for walk up service. This service involves the City-contracted trash hauler walking the cart to the curb, emptying the trash cart and walking it back to its original location. Walk up forms are available at www.ci.maplewood.mn.us/trash and require City approval. addITIONal INFOrMaTION?
