STATE OF MINNESOTA COUNTY OF RAMSEY CITY OF ARDEN HILLS ORDINANCE N0. 287 AN ORDINANCE IMPOSING A RESIDENTIAL RECYCLING FEE. The Arden Hills City Council hereby ordains that Article IV, Sections 11-30 to 11-35 are hereby added to Chapter 11 of the Arden Hiils City Code to read as follows: IV. Residential Recycling Service Fee. 11-30. Purpose and Intent. Consistent with the policies expressed in the Minnesota Waste Management Act (MS 115A), the City of Arden Hills has implemented a curbside recycling program for all residential dwelling units within the City. Although other sources of funding will be used when available, the City Council has determined that the economic viability of the City's residential curbside recycling program and the ultimate benefits resulting therefrom require the imposition of a residential recycling service fee. 11-31. Imposition of Fee. Except as herein provided, a residential recycling service fee is hereby imposed on the owners of all residentially occupied property within the City. The owners of multiple family dwellings and the owner of the manufactured home park may be exempt from such fee upon furnishing proof, in a manner satisfactory to the City Administrator, that such owners have contracted for the collection of recyclable materials by a collector other than the City designated collector. Proof of such alternate service shall be submitted no later than July 15, 1992, and shall indicate that a contract has been entered into for the succeeding calendar year. The total number of residential dwelling units less the total number of exempt residential dwelling units, shall hereinafter be referred to as the total number of assessable - residential dwelling units. 11-32. Computation of Fee. Before August 31, 1992, the City Administrator shall determine the succeeding years estimated budget for the collection of recyclable materials for residential dwellings and the total number of assessable residential dwelling units within the City. The proposed residential recycling service fee for each assessable residential dwelling unit shall not exceed an amount equal to the unfunded portion of the estimated recycling budget divided by the total number of assessable residential dwelling units within the City. Unless otherwise exempted, owners of multiple family dwellings shall be charged a recycling fee for each dwelling unit within a multiple family structure. Unless otherwise exempted, the owner of the manufactured home park shall be charged a recycling fee for each lot within the manufactured home park. _ 1
