City Council Meeting Minutes September 29, 2020 <br />Mr. Frauman stated there are three separate carts and are picked up by three <br />different truck so the landfill carts go to the landfill, items in single stream <br />recycling go to the Material Recovery Facility, and the items in the green cart <br />go to compost. There are some items that are low value and when items arrive <br />at the MRF, they are separated. There is no material that just sits at the facility <br />and it is sold regularly. Glass is stockpiled and they are currently looking for <br />alternative ways to utilize the glass. In the first quarter of this year they <br />invested into a large concrete facility in a way to re -use recyclable glass that is <br />beneficial. <br />Council Member Gonzales commended TDS on the professionalism of their <br />staff. <br />Council Member Baker stated the contamination rate has remained about the <br />same over the years. He asked how does contamination enter into what needs <br />to land filled? Mr. Frauman stated audits are conducted on an annual basis. At <br />that time the truck will be dumped and the items are segregated to remove <br />items that must be land filled, however, just because items may go to the <br />landfill, does not mean the entire truck is considered contaminated. <br />Council Member Baker asked about trash and if a similar audit is done as it is <br />for compost and recycling. Mr. Frauman stated this is not done at this time. <br />Council Member Derrick asked about Glass recycling and now that TDS has <br />the concrete company, will this still be worthwhile for the City? Mr. Frauman <br />stated this is still valuable because of the integrated services this facility will <br />provide. <br />Staff will place this item on the October 7th City Council meeting for formal <br />consideration of this contract and TDS will continue providing services on a <br />day to day basis until considered. <br />EXECUTIVE SESSION <br />2.
