ARDEN HILLS CITY COUNCIL WORK SESSION – FEBRUARY 17, 2015 3 <br /> <br />reserves within the recycling fund or raise the current rate for recycling services to cover this <br />additional expense. The recycling fund currently has approximately $80,000 in reserves. <br /> <br />Mayor Grant requested further information regarding the new rates for service and the revenue <br />sharing with Republic Services. <br /> <br />City Planner Streff reviewed the rate and revenue sharing information with the Council for years <br />one through five. It was estimated that the City would receive approximately $14,000 in revenue <br />sharing on a yearly basis. He then discussed how residential recycling fees are assessed to the <br />property taxes. <br /> <br />Further discussion ensued regarding recycling fees. <br /> <br />Councilmember Holden questioned how many residents would be requesting a second cart. <br /> <br />City Planner Streff anticipated that this would be a very limited number given the fact that <br />recycling would be pick up on a weekly basis. <br /> <br />Doug Link, Republic Services, discussed how recycling participation has increased over the past <br />several years, in particular with single sort recycling programs. <br /> <br />Councilmember McClung wanted to be assured that residents were encouraged to participate in <br />the City’s recycling program. He asked how Republic Services would be educating the public. <br /> <br />Mr. Link stated that Republic Services would be sending a letter to all residents, and a hanger <br />would be hung on the recycling cart. In addition, recycling information would also be available <br />on Republic’s website and the City’s website. He then reviewed the recyclables that would be <br />accepted. He explained that Republic Services has a residual rate of 7%. He stated that his <br />company processes about 19,000 tons of recyclables per month. <br /> <br />Mayor Grant asked if families could change their cart size, if their needs change. <br /> <br />Mr. Link commented this could be done to meet the needs of Arden Hills’ residents. He looked <br />forward to providing service in this community as Republic Services already served Shoreview <br />and New Brighton. <br /> <br />Councilmember Holden questioned how Republic would handle fluctuating prices on the <br />recycled goods. <br /> <br />Mr. Link indicated that his company uses national contracts for the recycled goods. He indicated <br />that Republic Services would not be coming back to the City to renegotiate the revenue sharing on <br />the recyclables. <br /> <br />Mayor Grant inquired if there would be a movement towards organics pickup. <br /> <br />Mr. Link discussed the options for organics that were being considered for yard and food waste. <br />He commented that Ramsey County was discussing how to better manage organics disposal.
