Funding for this service is achieved through assessments to individual <br />residential properties and monies returned to the City from Ramsey County in the form of a <br />SCORE grant, which the County provides to eligible cities participating in the Recycling <br />program. <br /> <br />Through a Joint Powers Agreement (JPA), the County adds the City's cost for the recycling <br />service to the property tax bill, and returns the collected monies to the City, along with the <br />SCORE grant of approximately $19,000. The City uses this money to pay the recycling costs. <br /> <br />Reauest <br />Ramsey County asks the participating cities in the JP A to provide the County with a resolution <br />establishing the Year 2000 rate for recycling services. <br /> <br />Year 2000 Rate <br />The Public Works Director has reviewed costs for the recycling program, and contacted the <br />service provider for input on estimating cost increases for 2000. Minimal increases are expected <br />that will result in an increase of $.97 per year for each residential parcel, resulting in a fee of <br />$22.45 per year. <br /> <br />Recommendation <br />The Public Works Director recommends Council adopt Res. #99-50, establishing the rate of <br />$22.45 per year per residential parcel. <br />
