T4: Honorable Mayor and City Cot�ncil Members
Pat�ick Klaers, City Adrninisi�rator
FROM: Meagan Beekman, City Planner �
SUBJECT: 2011 Curbside Recycling Fee
Sack�round
The Arden Hills recycling program includes ihe weekly curbside recycling program and
the iwice annual community cleanup event. The curbside recycling services are provided
by Eureka Recycling. The comrnunity cIeanup events are operatet� in conjunction with
the City of Shoreview. The recyciing budget is an enterprise fund that receives revenues
from the annual household �ee that is applied to the property taxes and from the SCORE
grani provided by Ramsey County. Most of ihe expenses axe from the services provided
by Eureka. Since there are no ather dedicated fi�nding sources, the reveanue must be
balanced with the expenses.
For 2011, the per household fee charged by Eureka Recycling for curbside recycling
services is expectect to increase by 2.4 percent based on the anticipated change in the
Consiuner Price Index {CPI} from tihe Minneapolis Federal Reserve for the Upper
Midwest.
Although the base fee from Ewreka is expected to increase, th� annual curbside recycling
fee per household is proposed to remain the same from 2010 to 2011 at $40.65. The
reason that an increase is not needed is because the City and Eureka Recycling
renegotiated ihe terms of our contract in 2009 and increases in processzng fees projected
for the 2010 budget did not occur. Additionally, the post consurner recycling market has
begun to rebonnd, which has had a positiv� impact on the revenue share the City receives
from Eureka.

Staff is also propasing that the $1.40 fee for each housing unit that is nat part of the
curbside recycling program, which includes Cottage Villas, Hunter's Park Condos,
Parkshore Apartments, and Arden Manor, remain the same as well. Although tY�ese
properties cont�aci separately for regular recycling services, they still have access to the
community cleanup event. This fee covers their portion of the community cleanup event.
The proposed recycling fee af $40.65 includes the cost of the community clean-up
events.
