<br />www.ucitymo.org <br />• 6801 Delmar – City Hall d) State Loan Update i. Bids for the City Hall HVAC upgrades are due February 16th. <br /> 7. Reports a) Mandatory Recycling Ordinance – Scott presented a slideshow about various cities and <br />states that have adopted mandatory commercial recycling ordinances. California, Connecticut, Massachusetts, and Vermont are a few states which have mandatory <br />ordinances. There are many paths and options to making recycling mandatory: <br />selecting regulated materials, determining how it is monitored, penalties for non-compliance, etc. The following are some questions that we need to determine answers <br />to: <br />i. What would be the next steps? ii. Is the City of St. Louis considering this? <br />iii. Are any other cities considering this? <br />iv. Is U City prevented from doing this? (Like the plastic bag ban-ban) b) Waste/Resource Conservation <br />i. Bob provided an update from Sierra Club meeting concerning and updating the International Energy Code. ii. Meetings between St. Louis County and the Home Builders Association have not <br />occurred because the HBA wants to avoid protests by the Midwest Energy Efficient Alliance. c) Energy <br />i. Tim provided calculations of installing solar panels to reduce energy consumption on the fire stations, Centennial Commons/Pool Complex, City Hall, and the Library. <br />ii. The proposed solar panels work within Ameren limitations and adhere to the <br />Energy Ordinance. iii. The Commission will review the proposal at the next meeting. If endorsed by the <br />Commission, the next step is to take this to the City Manager and City Council. <br />d) Council Liaison i. Mr. Kraft asked about the quality of University City’s drinking water. <br />ii. Jenny replied with assurance that the testing and regulations regarding drinking <br />water in the St. Louis area keeps the drinking water in check. <br />8. Closing Round a) Jenny and Lois will attempt to meet with Andrea to discuss adding sustainability to the City’s Comprehensive Plan update. <br /> 9. Meeting adjourned at 7:40pm
