CONSENT ITEM –5C <br />The language “four broad types of materials” (Paper, Glass, Metal and Plastic) has been <br />removed from the JPA and a list of materials to be collected has taken its place. <br />The JPA lists the materials that shall be collected by the City and the City’s obligation to <br />collect additional materials as reliable markets become available. The following <br />materials have been added to the JPA. <br />a)Mixed paper (e.g., mail, office and school papers) <br />b)Newspaper, inserts and phonebooks <br />c)Glossy paper (e.g., magazines and catalogs) <br />d)Corrugated cardboard (e.g., mailing boxes and moving boxes) <br />e)Paper board or boxboard (e.g., cereal boxes, shoe boxes, and boxes from <br />toothpaste, medications and other toiletries) <br />f)Metal food and beverage cans <br />g)Plastic bottles (such as those for beverages, condiments, detergent, shampoo and <br />body lotion) <br />h)Glass food and beverage containers. <br />Ifthe City determinesthat there is a better method for collecting the fee priorto the expiration of <br />the proposed JPA in 2019, the City can terminate the JPA without cause with 180 days notice to <br />the County. The County administration fee is currently$.50per parcel, making theCounty’s <br />service fee approximately $1,284for 2014.Inthe future, the City could consider applying the <br />recycling fee to utility bills; however, the City would want to weigh the County administrative <br />fee against the cost of additional City staff time. Staff will continue to obtain the County <br />administrative charge in advance of the City’s budgeting process so that the City can determine <br />if it is better to stay in the JPA or opt out. <br />The City Attorney has reviewed the JPA and did not have any changes. <br />Recommendation <br />Motion to approve the Ramsey County JointPowers Agreement for Recycling Funding for July <br />1, 2014, through June 30, 2019. <br />Attachment <br />A.Existing Joint Powers Agreement with Ramsey County <br />B.Proposed Joint Powers Agreement with Ramsey County <br />City of Arden Hills <br />CityCouncil Meeting for April 14, 2014 <br />P:\Planning\Recycling & Garbage\2014\JPA Recycling Fund <br />Page 2of 2 <br />
