<br />. <br />f <br /> ~ <br />. ~~J:-IILLS <br /> MEMORANDUM <br /> DATE: December 4, 2006 CC Agenda Item 3.1 <br /> TO: Mayor & City Council <br /> FROM: James Lehnhoff, City Planner & Rceycling coordinato~ <br /> SUBJECT: Resolution 06-63 Setting the 2007 Curbside Recycling Fcc <br /> Back2round <br /> For 2007, StafTis proposing to set the 2007 residential curbside recycling fee at $26.25. This is <br /> the samc fee charged in 2006 and 2005 for thc recycling program. The City has a joint powers <br /> agrecment with Ramsey County to collect the recycling fee with propcrty taxcs from residential <br /> properties. Th~ County forwards thc rcvcnue from the recycling fee to the City to offset the cost <br /> of the recycling program. <br /> The recycling fee is the primary source of rcvcnue for the City's recycling program. The draft <br />. City budget projects the revenue from thc recycling fee to be $65,000 in 2007. The Ramsey <br /> County SCORE grant, which is expected to bc $18,000 in 2007, also helps pay for the recycling <br /> program. The rccycling fee and the SCORE grant are meant to cover the cost of the City's <br /> recycling program. <br /> There are not any expected changcs to the recycling program in 2007. Staff is exploring the idca <br /> of adopting a recycling ordinance because Ramsey County may require it to continue <br /> participating in thc SCORE grant program. The recycling ordinancc would not change the <br /> rccyding program, it would just more clearly explain the City's expectations and requirements of <br /> the recycling providers. <br /> Recommendation <br /> Approvc Resolution 06-63 setting the 2007 residential curbside recycling fee at $26.25. <br /> Attachments <br /> Resolution 06-63: Resolution Setting the 2007 Residential Curbside Recycling Fee <br />. \\M<.'Tro-illet.lIs:{/nlell"ills:Pl{/lInillg\Re(Frlingi~()()6\113(}(l6 - :or!; Cllrhsid" l?ec)'elingfec' Melllo 10 ('Cdoe <br /> Page I of 1 <br />
