. . . ARDEN HILLS CITY COUNCIL - JULY 12, 1999 5 Councilmember Rem stated that she had visited the reconstructed Lift Station and did not recall comments regarding a guardrail in this location. She agreed that there was plenty of separation to not warrant the installation of a guardrail. The motion carried unanimously (5-0). C. Resolution #99-20, Supporting a Joint Powers Agreement Between the City of Arden Hills and Ramsey Connty Regarding County Collection of Recycling Fees for the City Mr. Stafford explained that the City of Arden Hills pays approximately $70,000 per year for residential curb-side recycling and spring and fall cleanup days. Approximately $20,000 of this cost is funded by by Ramsey County. The remaining $50,000 is funded by residential property owners. This results in an annual property tax service fee of approximately $22.00 per parcel. For the past eight years, Ramsey County has collected these fees under a Joint Powers Agreement with the City. The original fee charged by the County for the collection service was $.12 per parcel, per year. The County has now raised their collection fee to $.40 per parcel, per year, beginning in the 1999/2000 year, under the new Joint Powers Agreement. Mr. Stafford stated that Mr. Post had indicated it would still be cost effective for Ramsey County to continue recycling service fee collection for the City of Arden Hills. The process by the County is that they add the $.40 per parcel to the $22.00 per parcel and add this to the tax statement. Mr. Stafford stated that Ramsey County is asking that the City of Arden Hills renew the Joint Powers Agreement until the year 2004. Either party may cancel the agreement at their discretion following a 180-day written notice to the other party. Mr. Stafford advised that Staffrecommended the City County adopt Resolution #99-20, supporting a Joint Powers Agreement between the City of Arden Hills and Ramsey County regarding County collection of recycling fees for the City. The recommendation is subject to the City Attorney reviewing the agreement and making any minor non-substantial changes as necessary. Mr. Stafford noted that under the first paragraph of the Resolution, the date 1993 should be changed to 1991.
