AGENDA ITEM – 1A <br /> <br />City of Arden Hills <br />City Council Work Session Meeting for February 17, 2015 <br /> <br />P:\Planning\Recycling & Garbage\2015\RFP_Recycling Services\CC Packet_(1-17-15) - Introduction of Republic Services <br />Page 3 of 3 <br /> <br /> Recyclables Collection shall be $55.00 per eligible multi-dwelling unit per month for <br />each four yard container serviced once per week or $4.25 per eligible multi-dwelling <br />unit per month for each 65 gallon cart serviced once per week. <br /> The processing fee for all recyclable material commodities shall be $66.00 per ton <br />with an annual CPI of up to three (3) percent. <br /> The Revenue Share on all commodities shall be split between the City and the <br />Contractor at a rate of 80% for the City and 20% to the Contractor. <br /> <br />Recycling Carts <br /> <br />As the Council is aware, staff has applied for a Public Entity Innovation Grant (PEIG) through <br />Ramsey County for residential recycling carts. At this time, the County is still in the process of <br />reviewing the City’s grant application. PEIG grants are typically awarded up to $100,000 for the <br />purchase of recycling carts. However, the City is applying for $125,000 to cover the entire cost <br />for the transition to recycling carts. If the City receives a PEIG in the amount $100,000 for the <br />purchase of recycling carts the City would then need to use the reserves within the recycling fund <br />or raise the current rate for recycling services to cover this additional expense. The recycling <br />fund currently has approximately $80,000 in reserves. <br /> <br /> <br />Attachments <br /> <br />A) Final draft Recycling Contract
