Tape recorded on Tapes 94-71, All; 94-72, Side 1. SOLID WASTE DISCUSSION Reel 94.71, Side 1 Mayor Horowitz stated that this meeting was scheduled as a focus session on solid waste management and for staff and Council to arrive at policy decisions. City Manager Atkins distributed the handouts: Landfill and Collection Policies. Staff and Council reviewed the landfill issues as outlined in the handout, Landfill as follows: 1. The City must meet the 50% reduction requirement by the year 2000. As landfill owner/operatorllicense holder, the City is responsible for 100% of the waste deposited at the landfill. The City is responsible for all sanctions, if mandates, regulations and volume reduction requirements are not completely fulfilled. Atkins emphasized that the City of Iowa City is the operator of the landfill and is responsible for the landfill. In response to Throgmorton, Atkins sated 12-15% of the landfill waste is generated by Iowa City residents. 2. The landfill will be financed by user fees. Atkins explained that the tax support is not used to fund the landfill or collection program. 3. The City assumes responsibility for all financial obligations of the landfill. Others using the landfill pays for the City's assumption of these financial obligations through the fee structure provided for users of the landfill; . In response to Kubby, Atkins stated Iowa City will try to find out ownership to any hazardous waste found at the landfill. 4. The landfill will remain available to all Johnson County jurisdictions and Kalona and Riverside of Washington County. Atkins stated the current policy is that Iowa City is not interested in any new customers right now. ,:r.~~'_M~ , ~~ _.n.", '_,...._..1 ~ -..

All governments that use the landfill must approve the ECICOG plan or supply their own solid waste plan to IDNR. The City should assume approval authority over any plan that does not utilize the ECICOG plan. Those plans should be submitted to the City for review. The ECICOG plan is a regional, comprehensive plan. The adoption of which means we will use the plan as a guide for future decisions. Atkins stated this is law. 6. The landfill will remain at its current location for the foreseeable future. Review of the purchase of additional land for landfill operations will be ongoing. Atkins stated the purchase of additional land would be for possible expansion. , 7. Remedial work at the landfill will continue as required by the IDNR and financed by user fees. ---II: Atkins stated remedial work is proceeding satisfactorily with respect to the IDNA. 8. Closure/post closure plans must be approved by the IDNR and are subject to their regulations. Should we seek approval for the alternate use of the landfill in the future, notably recreational uses? This could suggest altering the landscape by requesting permission to go higher over landfill cells and therefore create a more attractive topography. Atkins asked if Council would consider alternative uses, such as recreational uses, at the landfill in the future and if the landscape should be changed, Kubby inquired about increased potential for groundwater contamination if the landfill was built up. Public Works Director Schmadeke stated the potential for groundwater contamination will not change as the landfill is built up. Kubby stated she does not want skiing on the area. Throgmorton stated the new director or chair of the Art and Art History Department at the University of Iowa is an expert in environmental or ecological art. 9. Closure/post closure finances are regulated by the IDNR and the City must comply through the use of its user fee polley. 10. A recent JCCOG project proposal Is to determine how Johnson County municipali- ties and the County could establish a county-wide solid waste management agency (28E) to oversee landfill and waste programs. Does this proposal study conflict with the other ownership and related financial obligations on the part of the City? Atkins stated that if a study is done to create a management agency to oversee the landfill and waste programs, there should also be financial participation. Atkins said an official note needs to be sent to JCCOG stating that financial responsibility needs to be built into their study initiative. - 11. What Is the extent of the City's Interest In regionallzatlon of landfill operations. Do we work with other Jurisdictions as basically a service provider or do we turn over responsibility for landfill operations to another agency? Horowitz stated that the ECICOG plan is working towards an administrative structure, Horowitz said the approach should be one of regional cooperation. Novick said that a letter should be sent to each governmental entity asking them if they want to study a . .. ; ~ -.' .' 0,);""" -- ~" ".. . t-tr. t;,~~ :~;t , ~; r I l rj ~ [: @ I:! ~i !J ,~ ~ II " ;: ~~ ~1 [, ~ t 1\ " , r I 11 "j ;', t:,',., " ~' Ij! :,',~ ~":l " " ! -(q~' " I 'dd" " i)' 0, . !b-1f"1 . , ~ , '\.~ \ , '\'" , -, ".. . :.'

Do we continue our work effort with other jurisdictions outside of Johnson County. Working with Cedar Rapids in their various study efforts, which include composting, private incineration projects, sharing/control of the waste stream to meet the needs of new Cedar Rapids business initiatives, waste composition study? Kubby asked what does regionalization mean that is different from a solid waste authority. Atkins said that right now he didn't think it makes any difference. Gentry noted that City of Iowa City doesn't have to do a regional authority to accomplish #12. Dave Hogan stated problems have included that there is no incentive to join an authority or agency and smaller communities don't understand all of the landfill implicalions. , City staff and Council reviewed collection issues as outlined in the handout, Collection Policies as follows: 1. The City solid waste collection services will be convenient to customers, fulfill health, safety and sanitary obligations, be primarily provided by municipal collection crews, and financed by user fees. Atkins stated Floyde Pelkey heads up the residential collection program which includes I a recycling fee, a pickup fee, and yard waste/bag purchase. Gentry stated that it needs to be clarified that this applies to residential. Atkins said that it may be necessary to I 0 contract with private haulers for certain neighborhood pickup. Kubby stated that the City should consider picking up its own garbage versus contracting out to have the city garbage picked up by a private hauler. Pelkey explained that City crews are not trained as commercial haulers and safety is a concern. , 2. The City will undertake refuse collection policies that will place our house in order , (- as an example to other communities and landfill users. Atkins stated the Council wants a stronger role in collection policies. r 0' 3. Pursue an annual toxic cleanup day to be financed through user fees. l' [": Atkins stated this will be done annually. Kubby stated the City should continue to apply f1 ') ", for grants. I r 4. Staff recycling drop site be constructed and eliminate most if not all drop sites ~ throughout the City. ~, ~ Atkins stated that about one.third of the material at the dropoff sites is contaminated, .~ Council showed support for a staffed, permanent dropoff site. 1 '/ . .1 5. A plan/proposal is being prepared by JCCOG which will determine a permanent ~ Johnson County household hazardous waste collection facility. This study Is being , requested by Johnson County. Do we wish to support such an initiative? '~ Atkins asked Council if the City should consider both a staffed recycling drop site and a ,~ permanent hazardous waste collection facility. Kubby asked if the hazardous waste collection site could be defined as a low or mid.level collection site and then also have an 1 S-(C( ~ ~ l, I ~D, 0 0 '~ .. -l ....' ~gi:1j " ' I, ~. i :. . ,t" , ,\.., ~ , \ . ;,", ,,: 4 annual toxic cleanup day. Atkins stated that a permanent hazardous waste collection site would require a major up.front cost to protect the environment. Council supported the staffed recycling drop site and directed staff to continue looking into the hazardous waste collection facility. 6. Sponsor!>hip of a separate paint cleanup which precedes the toxic cleanup day. Kubby stated she is interested in Iowa City pursuing a swap prior to the cleanup day. 7. The City will pursue a household battery collection policy. Should it be part of the permanent hazardous waste drop off? Atkins stated that state law does not require stores to take back household batteries. Staff will look at household battery collection policy. 8. The City should consider stopping all of its oil collection efforts at the public works yard unless some type of staffed recycling center is provided. State law requires vendors of oil to take back used motor oil or find a place where the public may dispose of this oil. Right now the public is paying for a disposal responsibility that rests with the vendors of oil products. Atkins stated the City of Iowa City is becoming the oil dumping ground. Atkins said the City needs to get tough on the local businesses. Pelkey noted that some businesses are now charging 25~ per quart to dispose of the oil. Neumann stated that the law currently reads that if you sell oil, you are required to take it back or post where you can take it. Dave Hogan explained Cedar Rapids works with Jiffy Lube to dispose of oil and he is currently looking at purchasing a permanent site next to a rail site and a train tankard to haul away oil. .~ ..'.... , 9. JCCOG has requested to perform a comprehensive review of the city's curbside recycling program. Why not all cities? Why JCCOG? , ( ,,\ , --'.;'\ \ \ ' " I \, ,J ~ ,;,'I~ I", , "",'-\ ~ \, , I' I" I I Atkins stated all curbside programs should be reviewed. 10. Review the curbside recycling program in order to a) encourage greater participa. tlon, b) determine what methods may be utilized to Improve participation, c) expansion of materIals collected. Kubby suggested that everyone's recycle program be consistent and utilize one educational program. Neumann stated he has information about what everyone is doing with respect to recycling. Atkins stated a comprehensive review is critical. , i(, '.', . 'I ' , , , .: I, '\..;0 , ".~/ , , y1i " 11. Our recycling trucks currently have available space for recycling materials and It Is suggested that the City consider an expanded curbside program whIch would provide for curbside pickup of corrugated cardboard. Atkins stated that the City has the potential to add corrugated cardboard to its current program. Kubby and Novick stated that the chipboard, such as cereal boxes, should be collected. Pelkey stated he can look at putting wastepaper and cereal boxes together. Carol Casey stated the University of Iowa is mixing its cardboard and box bO;:lrd and there should be no problem when Cedar River Paper comes on.line in 1995, Novick emphasized that the extra recycling bins should not be used just for corrugated cardboard.

It is suggested that a per Item charge be initiated similar to fees for white goods and tires. Atkins stated that the bulky waste items have gotten out of hand and people ought to be paying a per-item charge for pickup. Pelkey stated information could be distributed at University of Iowa registration. 13. Develop unit based monthly fees for refuse collection. Novick stated a cost plus system should be used to cover fixed costs. In response to Lehman, Atkins stated the City can't base charges on weight because it doesn't have the ability to weigh on-site. 14. Develop a recommendation on a multl.famlly apartment complex recycling program. In response to Throgmorton, Horowitz explained that she met with property managers but didn't resolve anything. Throgmorton said renters should be involved. Lehman suggested going to the Apartment Owners Association. Atkins stated staft can contact apartment owners. 15. The JCCOG staff has requested to provide a number of programs that could have direct effect on our landfill operations. Atkins said that the City's eftort should remain concentrated on the 50% reduction. 16. The JCCOG staff is analyzing the collection and transportation of paper products to the Cedar Rapids paper company. This study is similar to the statements in our regional eftorts under the landfill component of our policy discussions. Do we support these efforts? .~~,.~-- Atkins stated there is support for these eftorts. In response to Kubby, Hogan explained the Cedar Rapids paper company is producing corrugated medium recycled mill at 90% yield.

Atkins stated that this program has been difficult to get going, Kubby suggested contacting the area science teachers. 18. Provide grQater initiatives in the advertising, public notlceRnformatlon concerning recycling and waste reduction awareness campaign efforts.

Atkins noted that Johnson County Health Department will not inspect compost piles. Atkins said encouraging home composting could generate additional enforcement activities by the City of Iowa City. Kubby said home composting has people taking individual responsibility for certain kinds of waste. Kubby stated that people need information about how to compost properly. Kubby brought up the concern that the Code only allows yard waste and not kitchen waste. Gentry stated kitchen waste can be added to the compost pile.

Atkins stated that state law has certain priorities and it is frustrating when the federal government has dumped the responsibility of landfill cleanup on cities instead of passing packaging laws and other things on the front end. Throgmorton stated that the types of waste that will be produced will change dramatically. Kubby advocated looking at packaging ordinances on the local level. Atkins stated he can prepare information about packaging ordinances done on local level. Pigott asked if a toxic cleanup day is scheduled for this fall.
