Title:
Adopt Resolution to Enter into a Residential Recycling Program Agreement to Receive SCORE Funds for 2011
Background:
Each year, Anoka County receives funding from the Solid Waste Management Coordinating Board and the State of Minnesota pursuant to Minn. Stat. § 115A.557. The County distributes these funds, known as SCORE funds (Select Committee On Recycling and the Environment) to cities and townships within the county. The allocation includes a base of $10,000 plus $5.05 per household. Ramsey’s allocation for 2011 will be $50,278.80; however, it should be noted that if Anoka County does not receive the spring payment ($413,023) then the Ramsey’s allocation may be reduced accordingly.
The funding is intended to help municipalities achieve their recycling goals as established by the Anoka County Board of Commissioners (Ramsey’s recycling goal for 2011 is 2,036.30 tons). The City of Ramsey has traditionally used these funds to promote waste reduction and recycling efforts and awareness in the community, to offset costs of the spring and fall recycling day events and to fund the recycling coordinator position.
To receive the SCORE funding, each municipality must enter into an agreement with Anoka County that outlines required components of a municipality’s recycling program requirements. These required components, which Ramsey already complies with, include providing households an opportunity to recycle at least four (4) broad types of materials, a public information program and notifying new residents of the recycling program.
Recommendation:
Staff recommends adopting Resoultion #11-01-___ authorizing the Mayor, on behalf of the City, to sign the Agreement for Residential Recycling Program with Anoka County, to receive SCORE funds for 2011.
Council Action:
Adopt Resolution #11-01-___ authorizing the Mayor to sign the Agreement for Residential Recycling Program between the City of Ramsey and Anoka County to receive SCORE funds.
