ARDEN HILLS CITY COUNCIL WORK SESSION — APRIL 22, 2024 8 <br />Following review of the memo, he noted Council would need to decide on a course of action <br />regarding its recycling contract. <br />Councilmember Holden asked how the City utilized the SCORE Grant. <br />City Administrator Perrault reported these funds were used to offset administrative fees, fund <br />clean up days and provide capital for recycling bins. <br />Councilmember Holden stated it was not important to her who provided the recycling service, <br />but rather how much of the material gathered was recycled. She asked if the City was receiving <br />complaints regarding Republic. <br />City Administrator Perrault indicated by and large residents have been happy with Republic. <br />Councilmember Holden requested staff provide the Council with more information on the <br />percentage of recycling that was actually recycled by Republic. <br />City Administrator Perrault stated he would have to look into this further and would report <br />back to the Council. <br />Councilmember Monson commented on how the waste site in Ramsey County was working to <br />sort out metals, plastics and glass from the trash. She stated she would be interested in getting <br />economic information from across the City to see if there were cost disparities from providers to <br />see if it was worth the Council's time to explore having a single hauler. <br />Councilmember Fabel asked why the City would not do an RFP. <br />City Administrator Perrault stated Foth indicated Republic was providing very reasonable rates <br />without going out for RFPs. <br />Mayor Grant commented he did not have a problem renegotiating with Republic. <br />Councilmember Rousseau reported if the City were to negotiate with Republic and they came <br />back with a rate of $10, would the City have enough time to go out for an RFP. <br />City Administrator Perrault discussed the proposed timeline and stated negotiations would <br />have to begin fairly quickly. <br />Councilmember Rousseau indicated she supported staff pursuing negotiations with Republic. <br />Councilmember Holden explained most of the time RFPs were a matter of public record and <br />Republic would be able to see what other people were bidding. <br />City Administrator Perrault questioned if the Council wanted to consider offering curbside <br />bulky item pickup or having Republic hosting a cleanup day. He noted these items could be <br />included as an addendum to the contract. He anticipated the curbside pickup would be quite <br />expensive, but anticipated a cleanup day would be more palatable. <br />
