Agenda Item F1
MEMORANDUM
TO: James Antonen, City Manager
FROM: DuWayne Konewko, Parks and Recreation Director
Ginny Gaynor, Natural Resources Coordinator
SUBJECT: Appreciation of Century College Biology Department for Service Learning
Partnership
DATE: March 6, 2012 for March 12, 2012 meeting
INTRODUCTION
Century College Biology students have been providing service to the City of Maplewood
for over ten years through a service learning partnership. Staff would like to express
our gratitude to the college and will do a brief presentation on this service learning
program at the March 12 council meeting.
DISCUSSION
Instructor Joy Cedarleaf’s biology classes have been doing service projects for
Maplewood since fall 2001. Each semester students spend some of their biology lab
sessions working on Maplewood projects. This service learning program gives the
students an opportunity to learn about natural resources management, experience
nature in an urban environment, and expand their understanding of basic biology and
ecology concepts. Over the course of a year we typically schedule 24-30 service
sessions with Century College students.
Maplewood Nature Center staff members lead the students in natural resources and
gardening projects at the Nature Center, City Hall, parks, Neighborhood Preserves, and
gardens and boulevards throughout the city. Projects have included activities such as:
cutting back rain gardens, planting gardens and natural areas, picking up litter,
maintaining trails, removing buckthorn, hauling brush, sowing seed, installing signs,
closing down old trails, weeding, harvesting willow, stabilizing stream banks, and
helping prepare for Nature Center events.
Through this service learning partnership, Century College students provide over 500
hours of service each year. They have become a key partner in managing gardens and
natural resources in the city. Ms. Cedarleaf has been wonderful partner over the past
10-1/2 years and we are grateful for her dedication and the service of her students.

MEMORANDUM
TO: James Antonen, City Manager
FROM: DuWayne Konewko, Parks and Recreation Director
Ginny Gaynor, Natural Resources Coordinator
SUBJECT: Consider Approval of Grant Acceptance for Geophysical Survey at
Gladstone Savanna
DATE: March 6, 2012 for March 12, 2012 meeting
INTRODUCTION
In 2011, Maplewood City Council approved a master plan for Gladstone Savanna Neighborhood
Preserve. During development of the plan, it was recommended that the city do a geophysical survey
at the site to determine if building foundations exist underground. The city has applied for and
received a Minnesota Historical and Cultural grant to conduct this survey.
DISCUSSION
The Master Plan for Gladstone Savanna Neighborhood Preserve integrates the site’s cultural and
natural history. The Gladstone Railroad Shops were once located on the site and the plan celebrates
the site’s industrial history through design elements and development of interpretive materials for the
site. To more accurately depict the history of the site it will be beneficial to determine where the former
buildings were located on the site.
Maplewood has applied for and received a $6800 grant from the Minnesota Historical Society to
conduct a geophysical survey at Gladstone Savanna Neighborhood Preserve. The city would match
this grant with $5000 of brush removal needed to conduct the survey. This brush removal is also part
of the restoration planned for the site. The grant will enable us to hire a contractor to use ground
penetrating radar and magnetometer technologies at the site. The goal of this work is to determine
whether there are any foundations from former buildings underground, and to mark those locations on
the site. This will lay the groundwork for the design elements of the master plan, which reflect the
building and railroad track locations. It will also provide historical information for future interpretive
materials for the site.
The geophysical work would be conducted in late spring or early summer 2012, and would cover
approximately 2.5 acres of the site. This will give us enough data to correlate the historical map
showing building locations with actual location. If we have significant findings, we would be eligible to
apply for another grant for additional survey work on the site.
RECOMMENDATION
Staff requests that the City Council consider approval to accept the Minnesota Historical and Cultural
Grant to conduct a geophysical survey at Gladstone Savanna.

AGENDA REPORT
TO: James Antonen, City Manager
FROM: Steven Love, Assistant City Engineer
SUBJECT: Approval of Stop Sign Removals at Ruth Street and Price Avenue
DATE: February 24, 2012
INTRODUCTION
The City Council will consider the removal of stop signs on Ruth Street at the intersection of Ruth Street
and Price Avenue. A petition request was received in 2011 for the removal of the stop signs at the
Ruth/Price intersection. Council action on the request is recommended.
BACKGROUND
A sign request petition was received at the following intersection in 2011 (see attachment):
Price Avenue and Ruth Street – This intersection is currently signed as an all-way stop. The
east leg of Price Avenue is a dead end street that services two homes. Petitioners are
requesting to remove the north/south stop signs on Ruth Street and replace the east/west stop
signs on Price Avenue with yield signs. The petition’s goal is to allow traffic to move along Ruth
Street without an unwarranted stop, reduce noise pollution from braking and acceleration
activities, and reduce air pollution in the vicinity of the intersection.
The petition for the sign request met the minimum of 12 property owner signatures, as required by the
City Council policy in place at the time that the petition was received. A location map of the intersection
of the proposed sign change is attached to this report. Residents were notified by mail and invited to a
council meeting held on July 11, 2011 to allow those who wished to address the City Council on the
proposed sign change a chance to address the council according to the sign policies in place at the
time of the request. At the July 11th City Council meeting city staff was requested to gather additional
information regarding the intersection and to further study the intersection based on public comments.
On October 10, 2011 the City Council revised the stop sign policy (see attached Dec. 7, 1992 & Oct.
10, 2011 Agenda Reports) by discontinuing the outdated policy originally adopted in 1992 and adopted
a policy that uses best practices and proper engineering approaches to sign requests which are
consistent to the guidelines set forth in the Minnesota Manual on Uniform Traffic Control Devices
(MnMUTCD). If changes to regulatory signs are warranted by meeting the criteria set forth in the
MnMUTCD the recommendations are then brought to the City Council for action.
The City’s consultant SEH reviewed the intersection in accordance to the MnMUTCD and provided
recommendations based on the MnMUTCD criteria for an all-way stop control. SEH provided the
attached memorandum “Ruth Street/Price Avenue Intersection Control”, dated November 1, 2011 (see
attachment).
Agenda Item I1
Packet Page Number 35 of 133
INTERSECTION HISTORY
The intersection was originally signed as an all-way stop in 1992 per the April 21, 1992 agenda report
(see attachment). This report was written to investigate the traffic around Mounds Park Academy and
to recommend improvements. At this time the east leg of the intersection (e.g. Price Avenue) served as
an entrance into the parking lot of Mounds Park Academy. The report noted the following:
“Stop signs can be effective to establish right-of-way at intersections and to lower speeds at the
intersection. They will not lower the average speed of vehicles a short distance from the
controlled intersection. Placing four-way stop signs at Ruth and Price will slow the traffic near
the intersection.”
It was recommended to review the impacts of the stop signs on the neighborhood one year after the
installation of the signs.
According to the June 8, 1993 follow up agenda report (see attachment) the average daily traffic (ADT)
on the Price Avenue to the Mounds Park Academy remained essentially the same as in 1992 (1992-
1034 ADT, 1993-1065 ADT) after the installation of the stop signs. The entrance to Mounds Park
Academy from Price Street was later closed 1993 according to the October 4, 1993 agenda report (see
attachment). The closing of the entrance has had significant impacts on the traffic levels of this
intersection as shown in the following table:
1993 2011

RUTH NORTH OF PRICE 1442 228
PRICE EAST OF RUTH 1065 29
PRICE WEST OF RUTH 108 71

INTERSECTION STUDY
The MnMUTCD has established criteria for the installation of intersection control for an all-way stop
condition. The following is a summary of these conditions and the findings of SEH’s November 1, 2011
Memorandum:
The main roadway has to have 300 vehicles per hour entering the intersection (total of both
approaches) for any 8 hours of an average day
o The existing traffic counts are far below this minimum criteria
Agenda Item I1
Packet Page Number 36 of 133
A crash problem, as indicated by 5 or more reported crashes in a 12- month period that are
susceptible to correction by a multi-way stop installation
o As indicated in the June 26, 2011 agenda report there has been no crashes at the
intersection of Ruth Street and Price Avenue for a period over 12 months.
Concerns were raised about the amount of cut-thru traffic that occurs when events are held at the
Aldrich Arena. SEH studied traffic levels on several Saturdays in August 2011. Aldrich Arena had an
event at which approximately 1,500 people were scheduled to attend. The following table shows the
comparison of traffic levels within the neighborhood both during and event and without an event:
LOCATION EVENT NO EVENT
RUTH NORTH OF PRICE 273 171
2011 AUGUST TAFFIC LEVELS
SEH’s reports notes that the cut-thru traffic does appear to occur during Aldrich Arena events, but not
to the degree that the traffic volumes exceed the resident street traffic volume threshold of 1,000
vehicles per day or would justify an all-way stop.
Speed data was collect in several locations to identify midblock speeds and to get an indication of the
amount of vehicles that are currently not coming to a full stop at the all-way stop. This speed
information is shown in SEH’s November 1, 2011 Memorandum. The memorandum also notes the
following:
“The purpose of intersection control is to establish right-of-way for vehicles entering the
intersection. This confirms the need to establish intersection control for reason, i.e. inadequate
sight distance, traffic volume, and/or safety, and as stated in the MnMUTCD, “Stop Signs should
not be used for speed control”.”
The speed data collected at the intersection shows that approximately 20% of the traffic on Ruth Street
is currently not stopping at the existing stop signs. SEH’s memorandum also noted sight distance
restrictions at the northeast and southwest corners that are reflected in SEH’s recommendations for the
intersection.
Based on the intersection not meeting criteria for an all-way stop as set forth in the MnMUTCD, the
presence of vegetation that provides some sight distance restrictions, and that most of the Price
Avenue traffic approaching the intersection turns and therefore has lower vehicle speeds, SEH
recommends that the stop signs on Ruth Street at Price Avenue be removed and the stop signs on
Price Avenue at Ruth Street remain in place. SEH also notes that this intersection control will also
function adequately for any event related traffic peaks.
Agenda Item I1
Packet Page Number 37 of 133
NEIGHBORHOOD COMMUNICATION
Based on the SEH’s recommendations City Staff surveyed the neighborhood to gather feedback on the
recommended changes. Residents were asked to select one of the following options:
Option #1 – Remove the north / south stop signs on Ruth Street. Leave the east / west stop
signs on Price Avenue in place.
Option #2 – The intersection of Ruth Street and Price Avenue remains as an all-way stop.
The results of the survey and a map showing the location of the choices are attached to this report. A
total of 51 surveys were returned to the Public Works Department. The results show that 68.6% of
those who responded are in favor of the recommended changes (e.g. Option #1). While 31.4%
preferred to leave the intersection signed the way it is now (e.g. Option #2). The map shows that for
those that live on Ruth Street north of Price Avenue are mainly in favor of Option #1, while those that
live south of Price Avenue are opposed to Option #1.
Testimony was made at the July 11, 2011 Council meeting that students from Mounds Park Academy
and from Hill-Murray use Ruth Street as a cut-thru. City Staff contacted school administrators to let
them know that this was a concern of residents in the area. Both schools were thankful for the City
reaching out to them about the neighborhoods concern and one school had already started working
with students on this concern.
CONCLUSIONS
Staff has reviewed the November 1, 2011 memo from SEH along with the traffic data and recommends
the stop signs on Ruth Street at Price Avenue be removed and the stop signs on Price Avenue at Ruth
Street remain in place. This recommendation will address the issue of sight restrictions as noted in the
November 11, 2011 memo from SEH and is constant with the criteria set for by the Mn MUTCD.
RECOMMENDATIONS
It is recommended that the city council approve the recommendation to remove the stop signs on Ruth
Street at Price Avenue and leave the stop signs on Price Avenue at Ruth Street in place.

AGENDA REPORT
TO: James Antonen, City Manager
FROM: Michael Thompson, City Engineer/ Dep. Public Works Director
SUBJECT: Stop Sign Policy Revision
DATE:September 19, 2011
INTRODUCTION
The council will consider discontinuing the outdated stop sign policy originally adopted in 1992, and
consider using best practices according to the Minnesota Manual on Uniform Traffic Control Devices.
BACKGROUND
The City receives a handful of requests each year, mostly for installing neighborhood intersection
controls such as stop signs. Proponents of stop sign installation typically present a relatively emotional
appeal based on a recent accident or series of “near misses”. Likewise, opponents to stop signs voice
their dissatisfaction with the inconvenience, noise, pollution, and determined motorists who simply
ignore or circumvent stop signs. Over the past few years the City often has installed intersection
controls at the request of neighborhood residents per the current policy, only to be opposed by other
residents with a dueling petition.
In 1992 a neighborhood stop sign policy (see attached) was adopted by the City to accomplish the
following objectives:
1. Provide the opportunity to consider any proposal that demonstrates reasonable neighborhood
support.
2. Provide information to the entire community about the proposals under consideration.
3. Provide for open discussion before the city council representing all sides of the issue.
4. Utilize the city council’s and staff’s time most effectively.
The following approach was then adopted in 1992 by the city council:
1. At least 12 signatures required to show neighborhood support.
2. Response mailed to requesting party about public meeting time.
3. Article published in the city newsletter about stop sign pros and cons, along with subject area of
consideration.
4. Either a special meeting or regular city council meeting would serve as the open meeting for the
public discussion and consideration.
DISCUSSION
The current policy is dated and does not reflect best practices regarding regulatory intersection control
and sign applications. A majority of the petitioner requests do not meet regulatory sign warrants.
Research suggests that at most locations, increasing the level of intersection control will not improve
safety (FHWA-RD-81-084 Stop, Yield, and No Control at Intersections).
According to the Minnesota Manual on Uniform Traffic Control Devices (MnMUTCD), stop signs cause
a substantial inconvenience to motorists and should be used only where warranted by facts and field
studies. A stop sign may be warranted at an intersection where one or more of the following conditions
Agenda Item G8
Packet Page Number 59 of 248
Agenda Item I1
Attachment 4
Packet Page Number 53 of 133
exist:
1. Intersection of a less important road with a main road where application of the normal right-of-
way rule would not be expected to provide reasonable compliance with the law;
2. Street entering a through highway or through street;
3. Unsigned intersection in a signalized area; and/or
4. High speed, restricted view, or crash records that indicate a need for control by the STOP sign.
The following is an excerpt of guidance from the MnMUTCD for multi-way stop applications:
Agenda Item G8
Packet Page Number 60 of 248
Agenda Item I1
Attachment 4
Packet Page Number 54 of 133
It is important to remember that installing unwarranted intersection control signage (i.e... stop signs)
does not control speed and can have a number of negative outcomes such as:
¾ Increased traffic noise (braking and accelerating)
¾ Increased traffic speeds to make up for lost time
¾ Increased automobile pollution
¾ Stop compliance is poor because drivers feel it serves no purpose
¾ Pedestrians get a false sense of security at the intersection because they expect all vehicles to
stop when signed as such (but many drivers do not)
¾ Increased costs to the local jurisdiction for sign installation, maintenance, and replacement.
Also, there are associated costs for enforcement.
WORKSHOP SUMMARY
A workshop was held with the City Council on September 26, 2011 to discuss the potential policy
revisions and why they were needed (see attached presentation notes). There was a general
consensus to have this item brought back to the council in October for policy revision and action. The
recommendation below is consistent with that discussion.
RECOMMENDATION
It is recommended that the city council eliminate the stop sign policies and procedures adopted in 1992
and instead use best practices and the proper engineering approach to sign requests which are
consistent to guidelines set forth in the Minnesota Manual on Uniform Traffic Control Devices.

MEMORANDUM
TO: Jim Antonen, City Manager
FROM: Karen Guilfoile, Director of Citizen Services
SUBJECT: Second Reading of the Ordinance Adopting the Republication
of the City Code of Ordinances
DATE: March 7, 2012
INTRODUCTION
The city code of ordinances was originally codified by Municipal Code in 1965. Throughout the
years supplements have been made to the code and in 2003 there was a recodification which
included a legal review updating State law citations in the footnotes of the code.
For several years updating the code to include new and amended ordinances was cut from the
budget. At the April 11, 2011 city council meeting, council authorized an agreement with
Municipal Code to proceed with the republication of the city code that included 98 revisions to
ordinances that were not included in the 2003 codification.
The first reading of the code was approved on February 27, 2012.
BACKGROUND AND DISCUSSION
One of the most exciting and beneficial services of our agreement with Municipal Code is that
the code will be accessible on-line and readily available to both staff and citizens for researching
purposes. A link on the city website will direct the viewer directly to the Municipal Code website
where the Maplewood City Code will be digitally housed.
The code will be updated quarterly as needed with the option of addressing any time-sensitive
revisions within a two to five day period for a nominal fee.
To ensure that the city council and staff are always working with the most current code only
three “hard copies” of the code have been printed. They will be distributed to the city manager,
city clerk, and one housed in the city council office. Citizen Services staff will ensure that these
three hard copies are kept up to date with assistance from Municipal Code.
In addition to the full code being published, Chapter 44, the Zoning Code, has been published
as its own stand alone document. At a cost, these can be provided to contractors and
developers which will be an asset to them when working within the city.
Staff worked diligently to review the current code of ordinances in preparation for the
republication and codification. It was an arduous process. During review staff found numerous
typographical and editorial misprints originating from the previous version of the Code published
in 2003. Following are corrections. Additions are underlined and deletions are stricken.

AGENDA REPORT
TO: Environmental and Natural Resources Commission
FROM: Shann Finwall, AICP, Environmental Planner
SUBJECT: Review the Annual Report and Work Plan for the Maplewood Residential
Recycling Program
DATE: March 8, 2012 for the March 12 City Council Meeting
INTRODUCTION
Tennis Sanitation, LLC, was awarded Maplewood’s recycling contract in the fall of 2010 for
service beginning January 1, 2011. The contract runs for a period of three years (ending 2013)
with the possibility of two one-year extensions.
Maplewood’s contract with Tennis requires that they submit an annual work plan and report.
The work plan should outline key priorities for system improvements including public education
tools or service improvements. The report should include the following:
• Total quantities of recyclable materials collected, by material type (in tons).
• Net quantities of recyclable materials marketed, by material type (in tons).
• Quantities stored, by type of material, with any notes as to unusual conditions (in tons).
• Quantity of process residual disposed of (in tons).
• Recycling service fee (based upon the contracted price of one dollar and seventy five
cents ($1.75) per unit per month).
• Log of all resident addresses where education tags were left because of non-targeted
materials set out for recycling.
• Log of all complaints, including the nature of the complaints, to include the following:
names, addresses, and contact numbers of the complainants; the date and time
received; the Contractor’s response; and the date and time of the response.
• Log of vehicle load weights which exceed the allowable maximum loaded weight of
40,000 pounds.
DISCUSSION
Annual Work Plan
The work plan includes increased recycling education and communication for single and multi-
family homes. It also includes a recycling cart pilot project for one single family neighborhood
(213 homes) to determine if carts will increase recycling participation and rates (Attachment 1).
Plastics
During the Environmental and Natural Resources (ENR) Commission’s review of the draft work
plan in December 2011, the ENR Commission requested that Tennis supply information on the
City’s recycled plastics. Tennis accepts plastics #1 through #7. Tennis has submitted a letter
Packet Page Number 73 of 133
2
which gives a list of the companies that they sell their plastics and the types of materials the
plastics are recycled into (Attachment 2).
Annual Report
The annual report (Attachment 3) summarizes the City’s single and multi-family recycling
programs. Observations made in the report include:
• Average pounds per single family household per month = 38.91
• Paper tonnage volume increased over the last quarter of the year
• Overall tonnage volume increased over the last quarter of the year
• Annual net total tons collected for single family was 2,146.06
• Annual net total tons collected for multi family was 312.73
Tennis estimates the reason for the increased paper volume is due to the City’s new single sort
method of collection. They state that single sort recycling offers residents the convenience of
recycling without sorting and allows recycling of larger items, such as corrugated cardboard
boxes which otherwise may end up in the trash.
Following is a comparison of 2011 recycling tonnage under the single stream recycling system
to previous years’ tonnage under the dual sort system:
Year Single Family Tonnage Multi Family Tonnage
2006 2,305.94 308.32
2007 2,200.39 489.10
2008 2,039.95 628.11
2009 1,930.19 596.33
2010 2,297.44 316.63
2011 2,146.06 312.73
Recycling Bins Versus Carts
In February, Tennis presented a plan to convert Maplewood’s recycling program from collection
of recyclables in bins to carts (Attachment 4). The plan states that recycling participation will
increase with the use of carts versus bins, and that the collection of carts with automated trucks
will create a more efficient and clean recycling fleet.
RECOMMENDATION
Review the 2012 Work Plan and 2011 Annual Recycling Report. Offer feedback and comment
on the documents and the City’s recycling program.

City of Maplewood Recycling
Work Plan 2012
Presented by: Tennis Sanitation
For: City of Maplewood
Attachment 1
Packet Page Number 75 of 133
The work plan for 2012 involves increased and improved recycling education for single family, multiǦfamily, and
public space recycling. Also implement a cart pilot project to determine if the use of curbside carts will increase
recycling rates.
1) Recycling Education and Communication - Single Family and Multi-family
Tennis Sanitation will develop education material that will assist in educating the public on recycling information. This will
include:
A) Publishing flyers and newsletters in English, Hmong and Spanish languages with the assistance of the City of
Maplewood.
B) Publish recycling information in City News and “Maplewood Monthly” bi-monthly.
C) Publish recycling information via the City website with hyperlink to Tennis.
D) Publish recycling information via the Tennis website with hyperlink to City.
E) Publish additional information regarding environmental benefits of the residents recycling efforts.
Example: (how many trees were saved).
F) Assist the city with creating and installing signage or other educational materials for your new recycling in the
parks program.
G) Naming our recycling trucks by giving the skunk a name and painting the chosen name on each recycling
truck. Create a contest to have the residents vote on “fun” names for the skunks.
H) Contact each multi-family location to hand-out recycling information, discuss do’s and don'ts, go over recy
cling data and develop ideas to increase recycling efforts - which may include additional signage and information
in various languages.
2) Cart Pilot Project -
Tennis Sanitation will provide the following comparison study of the usage of 65 gallon carts versus bins for recycling
services. Tennis will develop and manage the following pilot project by implementing the following:
A) Tennis will conduct the pilot project on a portion of the City's day-certain Wednesday recycling route from
Beam Avenue to Co Rd D, and from Walters Street to Hwy 61 (213 residents) with a separate truck. Weights
will be monitored separately as well. This area was chosen because our team felt this “residential neighborhood”
had the consistent recycling participation and volumes.
B) January, February and March we will collect data using recycling bins.
C) April, May, June, July, August and September data will be collected using recycling carts (65 gal).
D) October, November and December we will collect data using the recycling bins.
E) Throughout the pilot program a separate report will be generated monitoring the recycling volumes and the
participation. We will also compare recycling pilot data to existing recycling data.
F) Tennis will provide the recycling carts at no cost to the City of Maplewood. Residents who will be affected by
program will be notified by Tennis.
G) A final report of the pilot study will be then generated as a part of the year-end report for 2013.
3) Participation % monitoring -
Tennis Sanitation will develop a program that will not only monitor “not-outs” for recycling—but will also develop a moni-
toring program that will provide accurate participation of homeowners who recycle on a monthly basis.

RE: LETTER OF PURPOSE
Dear City of Maplewood,
This Year-end recycling report has been prepared for the City of Maplewood.
The report contains summaries of recycling data for both single family and multi-family,
inquiries, composite study information, environmental impact report, fun facts and a market
report of recycling markets, along with a final summary of the report.
The data in this report will assist us in developing a better understanding of the past, present
and future progress of the City of Maplewood’s recycling program.
Our goal is to develop future strategies to enhance the recycling programs already in place.
Sincerely,
Greg and Willie Tennis

RECYCLING DATA SUMMARY
In this report we have compiled annual data from both single family and multi-family dwellings (SEE
APPENDIX A). This data includes:
•Net tonnage of all residential and multi-family dwellings combined (tan)
•Break-out of single family tonnage and set-out rates (yellow)
•Break-out of multi-family tonnage (blue)
•Separate measurement of weights for cardboard and linens (bottom of APPENDIX A)
•Break-out of single family recycling materials by type and weight (yellow)
•Break-out of multi-family recycling materials by type and weight (blue)
•Break-out of combined tonnages (green)
•Inquiries tracked per month (bottom of APPENDIX A)
The data is compiled from recyclable materials collected from our drivers on designated Maplewood
routes. Loads are weighed; weights are then compiled over a month’s period of time. Weights are
broken out based on a composite ratio of the entire load.
Packet Page Number 83 of 133
Maplewood recycling year-end report 2011 page 3
RECYCLING DATA (SINGLE FAMILY)
The Single Family Data in APPENDIX A (yellow) was compiled from the single family homes after taking
out the multi-family weights. From this data – we are able to illustrate the weight per home (in lbs.) per
month. We also have tracked the number of residents (“Not-outs”) that do not place their recycling out
on a weekly basis. The data from the routes is compiled from the Single Family data spreadsheet which
details each route day and the total tons collected (APPENDIX E) – Please note that only Mon-Weds are
shown.
In analyzing the single family data, we are able to provide the following observations:
•Average lbs. per household per month = 38.91 lbs. per month
•Paper tonnage volume increased over the last quarter of the year
•Overall tonnage volume increased over the last quarter of the year
•Annual Net total tons collected for single family were 2,146.06
Additional Trends:
Part of the reason we feel the paper volume has increased is because we provide a one-sort collection
process that offers the residences the convenience of collecting additional recyclable materials and
larger items such as corrugated cardboard boxes which otherwise may end up in the trash.
Packet Page Number 84 of 133
Maplewood recycling year-end report 2011 page 4
RECYCLING DATA (MULTI-FAMILY)
The Data in APPENDIX A (Blue) is the actual data compiled from net total weight family homes after
factoring-out the multi-family weights. From this data – we are able to illustrate the weight per unit (in
lbs.) per month. To assist us in providing accurate data, we compile weights on a quarterly basis. This
weight is then used to provide us with a fair average of weight generated by each multi-family unit. Our
drivers then documented the number of carts dumped at each location on a weekly basis (see APPENDIX
D). These weights are then added at the end of each month to provide us with a net total. From the
report we are able to calculate the weight per unit per month.
In analyzing the multi-family data, we are able to provide the following observations:
•Average lbs. per unit per month = 12.96 lbs. per month
•Paper tonnage volume increased over the last quarter of the year
•Overall tonnage volumes were very consistent over the 12 month period
How are the weights determined for the multi-family data? On a quarterly basis – we use one truck to
collect all multi-family dwellings. The total weight is then divided by the number of carts emptied to get
an average weight per cart. This data is then entered into multi-family spreadsheet. See APPENDIX D
for an example of this report.
This data is significant because we are able to easily separate this data from the total tons collected on
each day of collection. The remaining tonnage is then the actual tonnage which comes from the single
family homes.

MULTI-FAMILY INDIVIDUAL SUMMARY LETTER
From the data compiled over the twelve months we are able to provide each multi-housing property
with an accurate summary report of their recycling volumes (APPENDIX B). We also provide them with
some information on how their efforts help with the environment along with additional information to
assist them in enhancing their recycling efforts.

INQUIRIES SUMMARY
Below are twelve months of data documenting the number of residents that called into our office. As
the new recycling contractor we anticipated the first quarter to receive additional volume of inquiries.
The most common calls were comprised of residents asking what additional items they could recycle.
Other less common calls were to see if our driver could come back because they forgot to put out their
materials in time and the occasional request of how to dispose of hazardous waste.
We are confident that our Customer Service Staff (CSRs) resolved all inquiries to the resident’s
satisfaction. The amount of inquiries to actual residents serviced average less than ½ percent. Our
team of CSRs and professional drivers are committed to providing the best service to the City of
Maplewood – we feel this report is direct result of this commitment.

RECYCLING COMPOSITE STUDY
In the 2nd week of October 2011 – our processing facility took three trucks of random material from
Maplewood’s Monday through Friday recycling routes. The tare weight of the contents was
documented, the sorting floor was cleared and the three truck’s loads were sorted into 11 categories (as
listed below). All of the categories were then weighed and documented. The results of the composite
study were then entered back into the monthly report.
Why do a composite study?
Having a good understanding of the recycling composition provides us with data that may assist us in
adjusting it to fit the needs of the Residents of Maplewood. With on-going changes in the economy,
cultural and even changes in the home we can develop more available markets, increase processing
technologies to handle more items and enhance educational materials to instruct residents on proper
recycling procedures.

ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT ANALYSIS
From the detailed recycling data from this report, we are able to provide the City of Maplewood with
some unique ways that the residents recycling efforts have made a difference. Over the years, recycling
markets have been able to recycle more and more items out of the waste stream. They have also been
able to determine what resources are saved by recycling various materials.
In this report we were able to convert the break-out of the composite of recycling materials and convert
the tonnages into resources saved.

FUN RECYCLING FACTS
PAPER & CARDBOARD
To produce each week's Sunday newspapers, 500,000 trees must be cut down.
Recycling a single run of the Sunday New York Times would save 75,000 trees.
If all our newspaper was recycled, we could save about 250,000,000 trees each
year!
If every American recycled just one-tenth of their newspapers, we would save
about 25,000,000 trees a year.
If you had a 15-year-old tree and made it into paper grocery
bags, you'd get about 700 of them. A busy supermarket could
use all of them in under an hour! This means in one year, one
supermarket can go through over 6 million paper bags! Imagine
how many supermarkets there are just in the United States!!!
The average American uses seven trees a year in paper, wood, and other
products made from trees. This amounts to about 2,000,000,000 trees per
year!
The amount of wood and paper we throw away each year is enough to heat
50,000,000 homes for 20 years.
Approximately 1 billion trees worth of paper are thrown away every year in the
U.S.
Americans use 85,000,000 tons of paper a year; about 680 pounds per person.
The average household throws away 13,000 separate pieces of paper each
year. Most is packaging and junk mail.
In 1993, U.S. paper recovery saved more than 90,000,000 cubic yards of
landfill space.
Each ton (2000 pounds) of recycled paper can save 17 trees, 380 gallons of oil,
three cubic yards of landfill space, 4000 kilowatts of energy, and 7000 gallons
of water. This represents a 64% energy savings, a 58% water savings, and 60
pounds less of air pollution!
The 17 trees saved (above) can absorb a total of 250 pounds of carbon dioxide
from the air each year. Burning that same ton of paper would create 1500
pounds of carbon dioxide.

The construction costs of a paper mill designed to use waste paper is 50 to 80%
less than the cost of a mill using new pulp.
ALUMINUM CANS
A used aluminum can is recycled and back on the grocery shelf as a new can, in
as little as 60 days. That's closed loop recycling at its finest!
Used aluminum beverage cans are the most recycled item in the U.S., but other
types of aluminum, such as siding, gutters, car components, storm window
frames, and lawn furniture can also be recycled.
Recycling one aluminum can saves enough energy
to run a TV for three hours -- or the equivalent of
a half a gallon of gasoline.
More aluminum goes into beverage cans than any
other product.
Because so many of them are recycled, aluminum cans account for less than
1% of the total U.S. waste stream, according to EPA estimates.
An aluminum can that is thrown away will still be a “can” 500 years from now!
There is no limit to the amount of times aluminum can be recycled.
We use over 80,000,000,000 aluminum soda cans every year.
At one time, aluminum was more valuable than gold!
A 60-watt light bulb can be run for over a day on the amount of energy saved
by recycling 1 pound of steel. In one year in the United States, the recycling of
steel saves enough energy to heat and light 18,000,000 homes!
PLASTICS
Americans use 2,500,000 plastic bottles every hour!
Most of them are thrown away!
Plastic bags and other plastic garbage thrown
into the ocean kill as many as 1,000,000 sea
creatures every year.

Recycling plastic saves twice as much energy as burning it in an incinerator.
Americans throw away 25,000,000,000 Styrofoam coffee cups every year.
GLASS
Every month, we throw out enough glass bottles and jars to fill up a giant
skyscraper. All of these jars are recyclable!
The energy saved from recycling one glass bottle can run a 100-watt light bulb
for four hours or a compact fluorescent bulb for 20 hours. It also causes 20%
less air pollution and 50% less water pollution than when a new bottle is made
from raw materials.
A modern glass bottle would take 4000 years
or more to decompose -- and even longer if it's
in the landfill.
Mining and transporting raw materials for glass
produces about 385 pounds of waste for every ton
of glass that is made. If recycled glass is substituted
for half of the raw materials, the waste is cut by more
than 80%.

GLASS RECYCLING PROCESSORS
Tennis Sanitation has managed mixed broken glass utilizing eCullet as our glass processor. This is in
response to the City’s request to create a glass contingency plan that achieves the overall goal of
recycling 100% of the material into the original raw material.
We are excited to announce that eCullet has developed a technology that optically sorts broken glass
mechanically without manually sorting. This results in minimizing the amount of glass being used for
aggregate material.

MARKET REPORT
2011 was a good year for all commodities. Demand was up with markets in need of fiber and plastics.
Fiber markets noticed a 30% drop in demand around October of 2011 but still retained the demand.
Aluminum and tin markets were also strong due to the strong demand for rigids on a local level.
Glass market remains strong especially now that there is a new local processor of broken glass in the
Metro area. Their newest technology sorts broken glass using computerized optical sorters and a
complex but innovative blower system. 90% of the broken glass can now be processed back into post-
consumer food and beverage containers with ease.
The outlook for 2012
Though we had a good year in 2011 for all commodities, all of our markets anticipate a downward swing
due to reduced demand.

SUMMARY OF YEAR-END RECYCLING REPORT
The 2011 Maplewood Year-end Recycling Report provides up-to-date information from the City’s
recycling activities over the past year. Each section of this report reflects the various ways data was
collected, entered and calculated to contribute to meeting our goals and achievements.
In the report we have illustrated the composition of recyclables, itemized volumes of recyclables from
both single family and multi-family dwellings as they relate to each break-out of each separate
commodity. As well as estimate the impact the efforts of recycling has on our environment.
As we grow into 2012, we will maintain our traditional, core activities as well as newer areas of focus in
developing ways to enhance our recycling program. These include the search for creative ways to
overcome problems associated with contamination, increasing recycling volumes, as well as addressing
ways to increase recycling participation.
Together with the support of The City of Maplewood we will achieve the goals - responding to the
realities of today as well as to the challenges of tomorrow.

APPENDIX F FOUR STAGES OF PRODUCT LIFE CYCLE
The image above illustrates the four main stages of product life-cycles, all of which provide opportunities for GHG emissions and/or offsets. These stages are: raw
material acquisition, manufacturing, recycling, and waste management.
Raw Material Acquisition. All products use inputs of raw materials, such as metal ore, petroleum, trees, etc. Extracting and transporting these materials entails the
combustion of fossil fuels for energy, which results in emissions of carbon dioxide. These fossil fuels must be extracted themselves, which requires additional energy
use.
Manufacture. The processes that transform raw materials into products require the combustion of fossil fuels for energy. Again, energy use produces GHG
emissions both directly from the combustion of fossil fuels (mainly in the form of carbon dioxide) and from the upstream energy used to obtain and transport those
fossil fuels. In addition, some manufacturing processes release other GHGs, although the type and amount of these emissions are specific to the manufacturing
processes for each material.
Recycling. Once a product has been used, it can be recycled into new products. While manufacturing products from recycled inputs still requires energy, fewer raw
materials are necessary. GHG emissions are therefore offset by the avoided fossil fuel use for raw material acquisition. In addition, for products that require wood or
paper inputs, recycling reduces the need to cut down trees, increasing carbon sequestration in forests.
Waste Management. If a product is not recycled at the end of its useful life, it goes through one of three waste management options: composting, combustion, and
landfilling. All three use energy for transporting and managing the waste, but they produce additional GHGs to varying degrees.
Composting – an option for organic materials such as food scraps and yard waste – releases some non-biogenic carbon dioxide associated with transporting and
turning the compost. However, some of the carbon contained in organic materials is returned and stored in the soil and therefore not released into the atmosphere.
Combustion releases both carbon dioxide and nitrous oxide (a GHG that is 310 times more potent that carbon dioxide). However, some of the energy released
during combustion can be harnessed and used to power other processes, which results in offset GHG emissions from avoided fossil fuel use.
Landfilling, the most common waste management practice, results in the release of methane from the anaerobic decomposition of organic materials. Methane is 21
times more potent a GHG than carbon dioxide. However, landfill methane is also a source of energy, and some landfills capture and use it for energy. In addition,
many materials in landfills do not decompose fully, and the carbon that remains is sequestered in the landfill and not released into the atmosphere.

Summary of Proposal
Tennis Sanitation and I are pleased to present a proposal to help the City of
Maplewood and Tennis Sanitation L.L.C. reach one of the highest participated in
and collected recycling plans in the area. This proposal will also decrease air,
noise, litter pollution, and reduce road wear. We, Tennis Sanitation feel that the
addition of recycling carts will greatly increase the amount of households that
recycle as well as the physical amount that those households choose to recycle by
making it much easier, cleaner, and more efficient. Also the addition of fully
automated trucks will help decrease air pollution and noise along with road wear.
This will increase efficiency and help both the City of Maplewood and Tennis
Sanitation L.L.C. reach our goals. The last portion of the proposal involves the last
two optional years of our contract. Exercising the option of those two years it will
help us reach the goals stated above and streamline the procedure of a fully
automated recycling route.

Recycling carts
• Easier for your residents.
Your residents no longer have to worry about carrying down 4 or 5 bags
of recycling and their bin to the curb, now one 65 gallon cart with a lid is
the only trip they will have to make.
• Carts will provide a clean solution to bins eliminating litter in the streets by
having a covered recycling solution.
• There is more space available to place recyclables, allowing residents to
recycle more.
• Increased participation by residents, Maple Grove, MN shown an increase
of 23% in 2 years stated in the graph below.
A graph from the “The Journal for Municipal Solid Waste Collection”
Potential issues with recycle carts.
• Might be easier for a resident to mix trash in with their recycling.
All of our automated trucks are equipped with a camera in the
hopper to spot any unacceptable items, and when delivering carts
to the residents we could pass out some new literature on what is
acceptable and what is not.
• Some residents may not want them.
Some people are resistant to change but assuring them this is the
best way to become a better, cleaner city will get them onboard.
Packet Page Number 118 of 133
Automated trucks
• Automated trucks create less air pollution.
Manual side loaders or MSL’s have to be running in high idle to
dump carts or transfer their load in to the hopper, with the use of
automated trucks with in drive pumps keep the truck running at
idle speed spewing less diesel fumes into the air
• Less noise.
Again with in drive pumps a vehicle running at idle creates a lot
less noise that your residents will appreciate when being picked
up.
• There are 10 tires on the automated trucks compared to 4 on MSL’s.
Even if you count per square inch of the tire contacting the ground
the weight is more evenly distributed therefore causing less road
wear on your streets.
Evo MSL empty weight 25,500 Lbs per tire 6,375
Full weight at +8,000 Lbs recycling 8,375,lbs per tire
ASL Empty weight 34,220 Lbs per tire 3,422
Full weight at +10,500 Lbs recycling 4,422 lbs per tire
Packet Page Number 119 of 133
Two optional years locked in
For many reasons we at Tennis Sanitation would like to lock in the last two
optional years of our contract, but we will start with the benefits to you.
The City of Maplewood and Tennis Sanitation L.L.C. could work together on
the plan we have put together and confirm the results of this proposal.
Given the next four years it will be ample time to conduct this research.
When we are successful in confirming our findings, other cities will look to
Maplewood for help as Maplewood will now be one of the greenest, and
cleanest cities when it comes to recycling. If given the two optional years of
our contract we will still uphold the best customer service we have given
your residents while working with you to strive for a cleaner and safer city.

AGENDA REPORT
TO: James Antonen, City Manager
FROM: Michael Thompson, City Engineer / Dep. Director of Public Works
SUBJECT: TH 36/English Street Interchange Improvement, City Project 09-08,
Resolution Authorizing Final Design Consulting Services
DATE: March 7, 2012
INTRODUCTION
The council will consider authorizing final design consulting services for the Highway 36 and English
Street Interchange project, slated for 2013 construction.
BACKGROUND
On August 23, 2010 the council authorized staff to proceed with tasks generally described as feasibility
study, pursuing additional project funding, public involvement, design surveys, preliminary layouts and
approvals, environmental assessment documentation, and other associated tasks to move this project
forward in coordination with project stakeholders.
Since that time a number of public open-houses, one-on-one meetings, and citizen design committee
meetings have been held to shape this into a successful project that balances impacts yet
accomplishes the goals of the project such as improved mobility along Highway 36, providing proper
access for local businesses, residents, and emergency responders. A public hearing for the
environmental assessment portion of the project was held on February 27, 2012. In addition the project
Public Hearing as part of the 429 process is scheduled to be held on April 9, 2012.
Layout approvals and environmental work is finalized. The detailed survey and soil testing is complete
and the preliminary roadway, drainage and bridge plan designs are completed. Final design services
must begin immediately to meet the project schedule and also take advantage of potential additional
funding sources through accelerating the project authorization date.
WORK ORDERS
The attached work orders include scope of services and project deliverables for the final design
services.
The following is a summary of the proposed costs for final design (also see attached proposals):
SEH, Inc. Kimley-Horn and Associates
Final Design $593,800 $635,860
BUDGET
As this project has moved forward costs and financing have changed as the project scope adjusted
during preliminary design. The council adopted the following budget on October 24, 2011.

The costs have increased since last year based on design changes, and requests by MnDOT for
adjustment of the Highway 36 roadway profile and additional ramp work near Highway 61. The city is
currently working with the project partners to make revisions to the total project cost and also fill in the
gap to move this project into 2013 construction. Once the final costs become more apparent during
final design, and funding sources are solidified a budget will be brought forward to the City Council for
approval. It is likely that would occur on March 26, 2012 when the staff will be presenting a feasibility
report to council for adoption and calling for a project Public Hearing on April 9, 2012.
RECOMMENDATION
It is recommended that the council adopt the attached resolution authorizing SEH, Inc. and Kimley-Horn
and Associates to perform the final design services in an amount of $593,800 and $635,860
respectively, for the TH 36/English Street Interchange Improvement, City Project 09-08.

MEMORANDUM
TO: James Antonen, City Manager
FROM: Karen Guilfoile, City Clerk
DATE: March 6, 2012
RE: Approval of an Ordinance Relating to Regulation of Tobacco Sales
Background
The city, working with the North Suburban Tobacco Compliance Project continues to work to
reduce the cost, harm and burden that tobacco and tobacco products plays in our community.
Chief Thomalla and I have reviewed the current ordinance regulating tobacco and have
determined that the best approach would be to repeal Chapter 14, Article XVIII that governs the
regulation of tobacco and tobacco related products.
State Statute 416.19 dictates that in order for the governing body to consider adoption or
substantial amendments to the ordinance current licensees must be given at least 30 days
notice prior to the meeting when the proposed changes will be made.
A letter was sent via US Mail on February 6, 2012, notifying licensees that the first reading of
the proposed ordinance would be on the council agenda March 12, 2012.
At the February 13, 2012 city council meeting the council placed a thirty-day moratorium on all
new licenses for tobacco and tobacco related products.
Following is an ordinance regulating the possession, sale and consumption of tobacco and
tobacco related devices and products which upon passage would repeal Chapter 14, Article
XVIII of the current city code.
CITY OF MAPLEWOOD
AN ORDINANCE RELATING TO REGULATION OF TOBACCO SALES,
REPEALING CHAPTER 14, ARTICLE XVIII OF THE MAPLEWOOD CITY CODE
The City Council of the City of Maplewood hereby ordains:
Section 1. RECITALS. The Minnesota Legislature has enacted the Minnesota Clean Indoor Air
Act (Minnesota Statutes, Sections 144.411 to 144.417), the purpose of which is to protect
employees and the general public from the hazards of secondhand smoke by eliminating
smoking in public places, places of employment, public transportation and at public meetings,
and nothing in the Minnesota Clean Air Act prohibits the City from enacting and enforcing more
stringent measures to protect individuals from secondhand smoke. Pursuant to this authority
Packet Page Number 127 of 133
and for the purpose of protecting individuals from the hazards of secondhand smoke the City
has determined that it is in the best interest of the public to prohibit the lighting of tobacco in a
retail establishment by a customer or potential customer for the purpose of sampling tobacco
products.
Section 2. PURPOSE.
The City recognizes the public health hazards of exposure of individuals to secondhand smoke.
This article is intended to regulate the sale, possession, and use of tobacco, tobacco products,
and tobacco related devices for the purpose of enforcing and furthering existing laws, to protect
minors against the serious effects associated with the illegal use of tobacco, tobacco products,
and tobacco related devices, to protect individuals from the hazards of secondhand smoke, and
to further the official public policy of the State of Minnesota as stated in M.S. § 144.391 and
M.S. § 144.412, as they may be amended from time to time.
Section 3. DEFINITIONS.
Except as may otherwise be provided or clearly implied by context, all terms shall be given their
commonly accepted definitions. For the purpose of this chapter, the following definitions shall
apply unless the context clearly indicates or requires a different meaning.
COMPLIANCE CHECKS. The system the city uses to investigate and ensure that those
authorized to sell tobacco, tobacco products, tobacco-related devices, and nicotine or lobelia
delivery devices are following and complying with the requirements of this ordinance.
Compliance checks shall involve the use of minors as authorized by this ordinance.
Compliance Checks shall also mean the use of minors who attempt to purchase tobacco,
tobacco products, tobacco-related devices, or nicotine or lobelia delivery devices for
educational, research and training purposes as authorized by state and federal laws.
Compliance checks may also be conducted by other units of government for the purpose of
enforcing appropriate federal, state or local laws and regulations relating to tobacco, tobacco
products, tobacco-related devices, and nicotine or lobelia delivery devices.
INDIVIDUALLY PACKAGED. The practice of selling any tobacco or tobacco product wrapped
individually for sale. Individually wrapped tobacco and tobacco products shall include but not be
limited to single cigarette packs, single bags or cans of loose tobacco in any form, and single
cans or other packaging of snuff or chewing tobacco. Cartons or other packaging containing
more than a single pack or other container as described in this definition shall not be considered
individually packaged.
INDOOR AREA. All space between a floor and a ceiling that is bounded by walls, doorways, or
windows, whether open or closed, covering more than 50 percent of the combined surface area
of the vertical planes constituting the perimeter of the area. A wall includes any retractable
divider, garage door, or other physical barrier, whether temporary or permanent.
LOOSIES. The common term used to refer to a single or individually packaged cigarette or any
other tobacco product that has been removed from its packaging and sold individually. The term
“loosies” does not include individual cigars with a retail price, before any sales taxes, of more
than $2.00 per cigar.
MINOR. Any natural person who has not yet reached the age of 18 years.
Packet Page Number 128 of 133
MOVEABLE PLACE OF BUSINESS. Any form of business operated out of a truck, van,
automobile or other type of vehicle or transportable shelter and not a fixed address store front or
other permanent type of structure authorized for sales transactions.
NICOTINE OR LOBELIA DELIVERY DEVICES. Any product containing or delivering nicotine or
lobelia intended for human consumption, or any part of such a product, that is not tobacco as
defined in this section, not including any product that has been approved or otherwise certified
for legal sale by the United States Food and Drug Administration for tobacco use cessation,
harm reduction, or for other medical purposes, and is being marketed and sold solely for that
approved purpose.
RETAIL ESTABLISHMENT. Any place of business where tobacco, tobacco products, tobacco-
