trucks around to empty those containers and take the waste away. A city may spend $1,000 to $4,000 per year per cau on collection operations.
• Wireless monitoring and notification: a central element of the BigBelly Solar system is our "CLEAN" (Collection Logistics Efficiency and Notification)
Management Console, which provides visibility and transparency into the entire network of waste & recycling stations in the field, ensuring that
operations are planned and optimized to deliver dramatic reductions in operating costs without any reduction in §ervice levels. Each BigBelly Solar
station uses wireless data technology (essentially sending a text message) to communicate station -level information to a network of servers in our
hosted Command Center, allowing users to log in from any Internet -enabled device to see fullness and collection information in real time. CLEAN also
provides historical reports on status and collection activity to help managers derive greater efficiency from their assets and crews. For more
information, click here.
• Compaction ratio: each BigBelly compactor can hold up to five times the volume of ordinary waste receptacles, reducing collection demand up to 80%
• Displaced trips: Combining solar -powered remote monitoring and on-site compaction, the BigBelly Solar system uses data and right -sized capacity to
eliminate four out of five collection trips, saving time, money and fuel.
• Greenhouse gas reductions: by eliminating the demand for collection by garbage trucks and other fossil -fuel burning vehicles, the BigBelly Solar system
can cut CO2 and other vehicle exhaust emissions by as much as 80%.
• Capacity: each BigBelly compactor can hold approximately 16o gallons of waste, compacted into a single 32 -gallon inner bin (most customers use a
liner bag as well). SmartBelly components (non -compacting, but sensing and reporting fullness and collection data like their BigBelly counterparts)
have a 50 -gallon capacity inner bin.
• Recycling: the BigBelly Solar system can be configured to support single- and dual -stream recycling programs, as well as compost collection, with
modular station configuration. BigBelly Solar Compactors, Compacting Recyclers, and SmartBelly components can be combined into customized 2- and
3 -component waste & recycling stations.
• Force: the BigBelly compaction mechanism exerts up to 1,200 pounds of force.
• Energy efficiency: the BigBelly Solar system gets l00% of its energy from the sun, and uses less than 5 Watt-hours per day.
• The BigBelly Solar intelligent waste & recycling collection system is made in the USA.
Fun Facts about the BigBelly Solar system:
• BigBelly solar compactors are so energy efficient they can operate:
o for a day on the equivalent energy it takes to make a piece of toast
o for a week on the equivalent energy it takes to brew a pot of coffee
o for four months on the equivalent energy it takes to drive a Prius one mile
o for eight years on the equivalent energy it takes to drive a garbage truck one mile
• The first BigBelly compactor was installed at Vail Resorts, Colorado in February 2004
• The BigBelly and SmartBelly side panels and BigBelly front hopper covers are made from l00% post -consumer recycled car bumpers
• The BigBelly Solar intelligent waste & recycling system is helping to keep communities clean and efficient in 48 states and 30 countries worldwide
• Some high-profile customer locations include:
o Boston's Faneuil Hall
o Walden Pond (of Henry David Thoreau fame)
o Baltimore's Inner Harbor
o US Military Academy at West Point
o Chicago's Millennium Park
o The Alamo in San Antonio, Texas

Duluth News Tribune: Green dividends on the Lakewalk
• October r, 2010 8:50 am
Mayor Ness describes the city's Toss it Green
project. The project will use state grant money
to help place solar -powered trash and
recycling compactors along the Lakewalk.
Page 1 of 2
Duluth, MN — Duluth will harness the sun to help deal with trash along the Lakewalk.
The city announced its Toss it Green program Thursday, which will involve placing 20 solar -powered trash and recycling compactors — to each — along the
popular trail.
A state grant will pay 75 percent of the program's $54,879 cost.
"These trash containers will hold up to five times as much as traditional containers," Mayor Don Ness said during an afternoon news conference along the
Lakewalk in Leif Erikson Park. "That will result in a 75 percent reduction in our operation costs" by reducing the number of times workers have to empty the
containers.
The solar -powered devices — which have batteries for operating at night and on cloudy days — won't just hold more, they also will tell city workers when they're
full via a wireless communication system. Tom Kasper, supervisor of the city maintenance division, estimates the compactors could save the city thousands of
dollars annually.
"Our hope is that eventually we start seeing these systems in many of our other parks," Kasper said.
The city plans to replace some of the approximately 40 traditional trash cans along the Lakewalk with the solar -powered compactors in the spring,
demonstrating the city's commitment to the environment, city energy coordinator DyAnn Andybur said.
The Lakewalk solar -powered containers won't be the first in the city. The University of Minnesota Duluth bought four similar containers more than a year ago.
They have worked so well that UMD recently ordered four more, Campus Sustainability Coordinator Mindy Granley said.
"They reduce the number of pickups we have to do," she said. "They help control litter. Before, if trash cans were filled too high the wind would blow the litter
around. The students like that they are solar -powered. That's a cool thing for us to show some leadership in using some new technology."
It's also nice that the units have trash and recycling containers side-by-side — as the city's containers will have — so students can quickly sort trash and
recycling in one place, Granley said.
"Previously we didn't have outside recycling units because of the blow -around litter problem; she said. "These units are nice and covered and help control

that."
The $41,159 grant to the city came from the Department of Natural Resources Solar Legacy Grant Fund. Created after voters passed the Clean Water, Land and
Legacy Amendment in 2oo8, the fund awarded $487,500 in grants during fiscal year 2oo9 and $470,635 in fiscal 2olo, including $12,600 to Ely for hot-air
panels for Hidden Valley Chalet and $41,159 for Duluth.
"I think the Duluth project is an interesting project," said Andrew Korsberg, DNR trail program coordinator who is involved with the solar grants program.
"Tying solar energy in with trash units to save money and provide public education along the trail is a good goal."

RE: Consultant Harvey Feldman
Background:
As you are aware, Mayor Jessica Stockamp, Commission Liaison Council
Member Doug Schroeder and the rest of the council feel strongly about the integral part
that parks and recreation plays in creating a strong and vibrant community.
They also recognize the important role you have played to date and will continue
to in the future. With that in mind, I have contacted a facilitator to meet with us to
establish a seamless transition with the advisory commission to complement our new
park and recreation department. I have secured the services of Mr. Harvey Feldman of
Park and Recreation Consultants, LLC to facilitate our October meeting at no expense to
the City.
First let me give you a short bio of Mr. Feldman's experience. Harvey Feldman is
a member of the American Academy of Recreation and Park Administrators
(AARPA). AARPA is a national organization of distinguished practitioners and
scholars committed to the advancement of the park and recreation field. He is a
lifelong resident of the State of Minnesota and holds a Master's degree in parks
and recreation from the University of Minnesota. Feldman's professional career
spans 46 years. Thirty-four years as Director of Parks and Recreation for the
cities of New Hope and Richfield Minnesota and Superintendent of
Administration/Board Secretary of the Minneapolis Park and Recreation Board. In
1996, Mr. Feldman started a second career, teaching parks and recreation
management at the University of Minnesota. Currently he is the President of
Parks and Recreation Consultants, LLC. Enclosed a copy of his resume
for your review.
Staff would like to recommend that Mr. Feldman facilitate our meeting on October 10th,
2012. If the commission agrees to the facilitation, Mr. Feldman would like the
commission members to prepare a list of reasons you believe parks and recreation is
vital to our city. This will help him understand the values you hold in moving parks and
recreation forward in the City of Otsego.

the proposed Prairie Park Disc Golf Course.
ARE YOU SEEKING APPROVAL OF A CONTRACT?
No
IS A PUBLIC HEARING REQUIRED?
No
BACKGROUND/JUSTIFICATION:
On July 11th, 2012 the City received a grant for a portion of the construction of a disc golf course at
Prairie Park for $2,500 from the Neighborhood Health Connections Grant Program . The City also
pursued a grant from the Three Rivers Community Foundation for the remainder of the estimated
construction costs of the golf course; the City did not receive that grant.
In order to follow the guidelines from the Neighborhood Health Connections Grant the project needs to
be completed by Oct 5th, 2012. To complete this project by that timeline the city will need to fund the
remainder of the project from the Community Facility Fund #208. Currently, the projects identified by
the 2012-2013 CIP result in a deficit in the Community Facility Fund #208, however, the City Council
discussed reallocation of projects related to rehabilitation of Prairie Center to other funds. As such,
there is available funding for the project. Below is the project cost estimate:

AGENDA ITEM DETAILS
RECOMMENDATION:
City staff recommends the Parks and Recreation Commission recommend to the City Council to approve
the quote from Wright Hennepin for installation of lighting at the skating rink and proposed sliding hill in
the amount of $8,068.00.
ARE YOU SEEKING APPROVAL OF A CONTRACT? I IS A PUBLIC HEARING REQUIRED?
NoNo�No
BACKGROUND/JUSTIFICATION-
City staff presented the concept of establishing a pleasure skating rink north of 90th Street and east of
City Hall to the Parks and Recreation Commission at their meeting on July 11th, 2012. The Parks and
Recreation Commission recommended approval to establish an ice skating rink but did not consider
costs related to the project. The area for the skating rink was graded by City crews as part of the
parking lot project. City staff has also discussed moving the existing sledding hill at Prairie Park to the
area north of the planning skating rink to combine the winter sport activities in one location and allow
for better utilization and maintenance of the area at Prairie Park, which will be reviewed further by the
Parks and Recreation Commission and need City Council approval before work begins.
Installation of lighting will be critical for the skating rink and potential sledding hill to increase the time
the rink can be available to the public by 4 to 5 hours per day and also increase safety by providing
better visibility for participants. City staff obtained a quote from W -H Electric Co -Op for purchase and
installation of a single pole with four flood lights operated on a timer with sufficient illumination of the
area. The four flood lights can be used to illuminate the skating rink with two turned to illuminate the
sledding hill of that project is approved. The installation of the lighting would also include a transformer
for the proposed lights from which electric service can be extended to the corner of Nashua Avenue and
90th Street for an identification sign that is under discussion.
The cost to install the lighting is $7,100.00. City staff is proposing that this be funded from the
Community Facilities Fund #208. This cost is for the pole and light fixtures only with the cost of the
transformer being paid for from funds other than those allocated for park improvements. This project
was not included as part of the 2012-2016 Capital Improvement Plan (CIP) as it was proposed after
adoption of that document and in conjunction with the work that was done to expand the parking at
City Hall. The projects identified by the 2012-2016 CIP result in a deficit in the Community Facilities
Fund #208. Currently, the projects identified by the 2012-2013 CIP result in a deficit in the Community
Facility Fund #208, which is intended to be closed out. However, the City Council informally discussed
reallocation of projects related to rehabilitation of Prairie Center to be paid for from other funds. As
such, there is available funding for the proposed lighting project for the ice skating rink.
