Coi nittee members made appropriate
:- .^ents pertaining
to the meeting and the lack of progress. Chairman Hriljac expressed concern about
the delay because of time commitments made by the Committee for completion of this
ordinance. A copy of B-A initial report is available from Chairman Hriljac.
Recycling. - Chairman Hriljac advised the Board of two conferences dealing with
recycling to be held in the Chicago area in the months ahead. Discussion followed
as to who might attend these and which would be most beneficial. Staff was asked to
inquire if a reduced rate would be available for Board members at the Packaging and
Solid Waste meeting on March 8 and 9, 1989.
Mr. Klosterman reviewed the status of the consultant's report and recommendation and
failure of the Administration and Public Works Committee (A & PW) to act favorably
on the report and their not presenting the recommendation to the City Council. He
expressed concern because it appeared that implementation of the curbside recycling
program would be delayed until surrmer or later and this would cast more money in the
long run and make the program less effective. He suggested a letter or response to
be sent. to A & Purl. Discussion followed on press coverage provided on this subject,
the size and number of bins, should the work be done by City crews or a private con-
tractor, the frequency of current garbage collection, how corposting would be included
in such a program and the need for this program as soon as pos_k le. Dr. Frank roved
that a memorandum be sent to the Administration and Public Wor,:s Committee, the Mayor,
and all other Aldermen expressing the Environmental Control Board'ssupport of the con-
sultant's recommendation and explaining the rationale of the rrcolrrnlendations. Se-
conded by Mr. Hoyev. Motion passed unanimously.
Mrs. Wollin expressed concern about jeopardizing receiving a State grant for Keep
Evanston Beautiful from the Department of Commerce and Connunizy Affairs because of
the delay in getting a curbside recycling program started. ke grant application used
the April, 1989 date of si.arting up the curbside program and p,:licity for this pro-
gram was a key part of the grant proposal.
Members of the Board inquired of Mr, fisher if he, the St.,,ients for a

Water Issues - Mr. Hoyer read a response to the Board's inquiry to the Illinois
Environmental Protection Agency (IEPA) about the permit request of Northwestern
University to use lake Michigan water for air conditioner cooling. The Board
had raised concerns at an earlier meeting and then in a letter to the IEPA about
discharged cooling Crater with regard to discharged water temperature, pH, scale,
and algae. Mr. Hoyer reported on his conversation with a representative of the IEPA
and then a general discussion followed. Mr. Klosterman moved that Mr. Hoyer contact
the City Water Department to advise them of this situation and the Board's concerns.
Mrs. Zelewsky seconded. notion passed unanimously. Chairman Hriljac suggested that
Mr. David Ramsey from the Pollution Control Board be contacted for additional input.
Two slide presentations were presented to the Board so the nearer members who had
not seen these before would become familiar with them. One ►•ras the slide program
developed by Keep Evanston Beautiful and the second was the "You Can •lake A Difference"
slide program developed by the Board some years ago especially for use in the schools
as a training tool. Mrs. Wol l in commented that both programs are extensively used in
the school programs.
The next meeting of the Environmental Control Board is February 16, 1989. Mr. Kloster-
man moved that the meeting be adjourned. Mr. Hoyer seconded. The Environmen al

Minutes: Mr. Hoyer pointed out that on page three of the January 19, 1989
minutes that the name of Mr. David Ramsay was misspelled. Mr. Hoyer moved that
the minutes be approved as corrected, Mrs. Wollin seconded. Motion passed.
Water Issues - Mr. Hoyer presented a report on his meeting with Northwestern
University regarding their being issued an Illinois Environmental Protection
Agency permit for use of the lagoon as part of their air conditioning system.
A drawing of the lagoon and the proposed system were exhibited and described.
He reviewed his discussions with University personnel responsible for this work
and their answers to questions he asked. The Board was pleased to hear the
favorable responses to alleviate the concerns they had earlier raised but a con-
tinuing concern about algae was not satisfactorily addressed. The Board asked
Mr. Hoyer to continue to pursue this concern with Mr. Sa-uel Harris, Project
Engineer of the Physical Plant for Northwestern Univerrliy arV the Illi-
Environmental Protection Agency in Springfield regarding the algae concern.
He will report his findings at a future meeting and the Eoard will decide on ari
appropriate course of action, if any, based on that report.
Environmental Ordinance - Mr. Ceplecha reported on a restorse he receivet from
the Northwest Municipal Conference (NMC) regarding c2ns•:"e-ation by r0o- ald's
Corporation to install incinerators in e?ch of their Et V deal 4,: — Ve
growin; probl oF solid ~'waste. it was lenrn& t"o ". _-_ . . . i:i:ioT,
Chief or the Co7runity Health Protection division of _ - ea l th 2ezart• . •t had
attended that meeting. Mr. Ceplecha reported on his diszission with Mr. Erbr•y
and what transpired at the NMC meeting. Since there were ro definite c- immediace
plans on the part of McDonalds to install such devices art any incinera:ors in-
stalled would be covered by United States Environmental=r-Vection Ater:, permits,
it was agreed that such units were beyond the jurisdic7ioi cf the Contra' Board.
Mr. Erbry indicated that as a regular attendee of the N—: tir7s, he , ..ild
advise staff the next time this item was on the NMC avarl n: he would r rovi&
the Board a report.

Recycling/Solid Waste - Mr. Cecplecha passed out material that pertained to the
collection of grass clippings as part of a lawn maintenance program and suggested
that in view of the fact that lawn care reports indicate that collecting clippings
isn't necessary and that since half of the household refuse in the summer months
is grass clippings, perhaps the Board would want to consider a policy of not
picking up grass clippings. Concern was expressed by the Board about what might
ultimately happen to these clippings and the need for an extensive public educa-
tional program. Additional discussion followed regarding a meeting in Deerfield
regarding State legislation dealing with composting. Staff was asked to
see if the Illinois Landscape Contractors Association had an official policy
on grass clippings and their position on not picking up clippings.
Ms. Wollin reported on a meeting on composting that is intended for individual
homeol'm ers that is scheduled for February 21, 1989 at the Deerfield Library.
She also advised the Board about her involvement with the League of Women Voters
and their plans to interview Senator Berman on legislation regarding recycling
and composting.
Environmental Ordinance - fir. Hoyer advised the Board that there was nothing
more to report at this time. A meeting has been scheduled for March 8, 1989.
Recycling - tars. Wollin recapped the Administration and Public Wor's (A & Ple))
Committee's recent action in response to the Environmental Control Eoard's
recent memorandum to A & N-1. A meeting of the A & PW co,,,,,ittee with all
Aldermen being invited is scheduled for March b, 1989 at which tir-r- the con-
sultant's report on solid waste and curbside recycling will be con-i;ered.
Mrs. Wollin advised the Board that the Keep Evanston Beautiful (KH— ) Program had
been advised that they had received a $5,000 grant from the State Gf Illinois.
Since this amount is less than requested, the specific iter:s to be covered by
this money has not yet been determined by the KFB board. One of tom- priority
items for this money is for signs for refuse trucks to pro -ate c'u-tside recycling.
The Board felt it might be appropriate to meet with the ne~r P,rbli,- ':.^rks Director
in the future to discuss this ri;itter.
Mrs. Fisher asked about current State legislation that re --,iris t: 'Cottle bills"
or other legislation dealing with recycling. Chairman rr 1 Ic r e_ iced present
prospects and past legislation attempts by the State in - s are-. :t didn't
appear anything was likely to occur in the next year.

western University. Seconded by Mr. Shevick. Motion passed unanimously.
Mrs. Zelewsky questioned the Loyola University plans of expanding out into
Lake Michigan and inquired if this might impact on Evanston. The consensus
of the Board was that this wouldn't affect Evanston since they are sufficiently
south of Evanston.

the Curbside Recycling Program. There are three concerns at this time which are
1. the educational efforts to be implemented for this program, 2. an anti-
scavengering ordinance, and 3. the distribution of the recycling bins. After
discussion it was agreed that Mr. Klosterman would contact Charnoaign and Naper-
ville regarding their anti-scavengering ordinances and the City "anager's office
would be asked to follow through on the other two items.
Mr. Klosterman indicated it is now time to begin working on the larger apartment/
condominiums recycling program. I was suggested that the Board again contact
Active Service and discuss this program with them.
Chairman Hriljac advised the Board that Alderman Nelson had made a reference to
the Environmental Control Board that concerned the purchase of land in an out-
lying county for the purpose of dealing with landscape waste disposal/composting
and the possible use of the same land for a tree nursery. Will County was spe-
cifically mentioned because of the strip mine activity teat occurred in that
area. A general discussion followed on landscape waste disposal and the problems
associated with various disposal methods.

numbers. This was provided by the Illinois Environmental Council. it was
agreed that the latest edition be obtained and that copies of that listing be

Alderman Feldman was present for a few minutes and suggested that the Board
consider a City ban on plastic packaging. The Board agreed to take this under
advisement and will study this possibility since this is a serious environmental
concern.
Environmental Ordinance: Mr. Hoyer advised the Board tha' �- Meeting with Barton -
Ashman has been scheduled for April 26, 1989. The Commit'_e felt that considerable

Rec,yclinq : Mr. Klosterman presented information he had gathered on anti-
scavengering ordinances. He read a memo he sent to City Staff with copies
of the ordinances. The Board concurred that Mr. Dave Barber, Public Works
Director should receive all of this material.
Concern was expressed about Coca Cola's intent to introduce 15 ounce PET
bottles in-63 the Chicrigo market to replace the one way glass bottle. Discussion
followed on why these aren't recyclable and the inappropriate nature of this
firm making such a charge. Mr. Klosterman moved that the Board write a letter
to Coca Cola expressing concern and opposition to such a container. Seconded
by Mr. Miller. Discussion followed about other groups who were concerned about
banning existing plastics product use and possible legislation that may deal
with this problem. Motion passed.
Mr. Klosterman expressed additional concern about the lack of can recycling at
the Civic Center and thoughtit would be desirable to write to the City Manager
about this matter. It was suggested that this be a part of the specifications

to Joel Asprooth, City Manager, with copies to Max Rubin, Building OQerations
Director; Dave Barber, Public Works Director; and Alderman Feldman, City Council
Liaison. Seconded by Mr. Miller. Motion passed.
Mr. Klosterman commented on bills adopted by State Assembly and the one bill
dealing with the use of recycled paper by State office buildings. He suggested
that the City of Evanston, too, should get involved in the purchase and use of
recycled paper. The Board concurred with his thoughts and Staff agreed to write
to the Purchasing Agent in an attempt to get the City to use more recycled paper.
Mr. Klosterman urged the Board to take the next steps necessary to impliment the
Solid Waste Plan developed by the Board to include larger apartments, condominiums,
hotels, motels, restaurants, office buildings, and the retirement co-.munities
within the City in the recycling of glass, cans, paper and plastic. Discussion
followed on how this might be accomplished and Mr. Kloster —an suggested the Board
begin by meeting with some of the key people involved with such programs at such
institutions to learn ,that their problems would be with iFiplementing such programs.
A representative from Active Service or another sector would be invited by Staff
to join the Board at the I -lay meeting to discuss this area.
Household Hazardous Wastes: Mr. Brown commented on major items discussed at their
committee meeting and suggested possible ways and to what th, ECS should
became involved or involve the City in a household ,4aste
There are "lanv issues involved in such programs and sl-1 -`_o-�
be a good point to begin. The cost/benefit of such a rr•needs be cOnSidel-ed.
The oeneral issues and goals need to be discussed and t"E'r `_rF liabilit_: problem
addressed. The Board liked the idea of doing soMre basic educ.:ion in t^is area and
then proceeding with one basic item at a time such as pair-, batteries, Or oil.

Noise Committee: Chairman Hriljac suggested a meeting to draw together all
of the miscellaneous drafts, data, and memorandums on this subject. Staff
indicated the on -going need to develop such a new ordinance. Mrs. Connie
Floyd and Dr. Laura Wilbur have both individually indicated a continuing
interest in this area. The Police Services Committee saw merit in the original
proposal submitted to them but recommended various changes they saw were
necessary. The Noise Committee needs to reconsider this item and make some
decisions or take a stand on some decisions on how to proceed. It was agreed
that a meeting on May 11, 1989 at 7:30 p.m. in the Civic Center for all interested
parties would be scheduled. Staff will advise tars. Floyd and 0r. Wilbur.

Minutes:
April 20, 1989 meeting - Mr. Klosterman pointed out that the word "he" in the
second line on the first page under Water Issues should be "him". Mr. Hoyer
moved that the minutes be approved as corrected. Mr. Brown seconded. Motion
passed.
May 18, 1989 meeting - no adoption as there was no meeting. Staff provided notes
of the discussions held by the Board members present.
Staff Report - The Board reviewed the memorandum from t•1r. Ceplecha regarding the
Inability to obtain a bin for paper at the Farmers Market. Discussion followed
on the problem of paper recycling in the Chicago area at this time. Mr. Klosterman
suggested that staff check with Valley Scrap to determine the possibility of re-
cycling the paper received at the Recycling Center.
Cori tree Repor.: .
Recyclinq - Mr. Klosterman reported on the status of C:--v Cola's proposza use
of plastic bottles which they claim are recyclable. He wrote to the firms
listed as recycling this plastic. He reported on his findings and the Board
discussed what would be an appropriate action and if ar crdinance should be
considered. The consensus of the Board was that this sj:;iect should be
monitored a0 acted on in the future if appropriate.

Noise Ordinance - Dr. Frank advised that work has resumed on the new proposed
noise ordinance and that by the September meeting it is hoped a draft will be
ready for review. Discussion followed on the zoning districts and different types
of noises such as auto alarms.
Pesticides: Dr. Frank has a letter for Staff to type up to close out the one case
the Board had reviewed.
Water issues: Mr. Hoyer reviewed the situation with the Northwestern Lagoon and
the Board concern about elevated lagoon water temperatures, pH, algae, and concern
about Clark Street Beach. He presented to the Board a proposed letter to be sent
to the Illinois Environmental Protection Agency with copies to seven different
individuals. An explanation of the concerns was described in detail by Mr. Hoyer.
Mr. Hoyer moved that this letter be sent as read to the Board with copies to the
individuals indicated. Mr. Klosterman seconded. Motion passed.
Environmental Ordinance: Mr. Hoyer described why this item is behind schedule but
expressed his belief that the work of Barton -Ashman is now what is needed, is moving
along, and will be useful when it is received. A section dealing with the ordinance
review has yet to be written as part of this item. Mr. Klosterman expressed his
concern and the apparent need to have a staff person eventually that would administer
this ordinance.
Radon: Additional reports were received from the radon testing performed earlier
in the year and these results should be added to the master list that has been
developed. No individual radon monitor recorded a level greater than 4.0 _ the level
at which additional testing and/or action is recommended. An article from the New
York Times was presented by Mrs. Zelewski that dealt with radon and the hazards with
central air conditioning. Discussion followed on how the Board might proceed on this
item with regard to the community. The consensus of the Board was to proceed making
some educational material available to the community but that the distribution /sale
of monitors, etc. isn't indicated as necessary.
Linda Lutz provided information about the Evanston Environmental Associationt Environ-
mental Fair to be held July 9, 1989
Mr. Klosterman again mentioned the concern of the Recycling Corwittee about the use
of recycled paper by the City and the recycling of the cans that find their way into
