MEMORANDUM
DATE:
October 29, 2007
CC Agenda Item 4.B
TO: Mayor & City Council
FROM: James Lehnhoff, City Planner
SUBJECT: Resolution Authorizing the Application for Recycling SCORE Grant Funds
from Ramsey County
Request
Resolution 07-70: Authorizing the Application for Recycling SCORE Grant Funds for 2008 in
the Amount of $20,301.00
Backl!round
For 2008, the City of Arden Hills is eligible to apply for $20,301.00 in grant money from
Ramsey County's recycling SCORE grant program. The grant can be used to offset the cost of
the City's recycling program, including administration, equipment, and collection costs. In the
past, the City has primarily used the grant money to offset collection costs. The County requires
a resolution from the City Council to authorize the application for the SCORE grant. The only
requirement of the grant is that the money can only be used for the City's recycling program.
The budget for the City's recycling program in 2007 was $85,655. The City received $18,396 in
SCORE grant money in 2007, which offset approximately 21.5 percent of the cost of the
residential recycling program. Recycling fees, which are assessed to each participating
residential property, covered the remaining portion of the recycling budget.
SCORE originally stood for the Governor's "Select Committee on Recycling and the
Environment." The grant and reporting program used to collect recycling information is now
generally referred to as the SCORE program or SCORE report. For more information, please
visit htto:/ /www.oca.state.nm.us/oea/1c/ score.cJ1n.
The City issued a request for proposals (RFP) for residential recycling services in early October
because the current recycling contract with Waste Management expires on February 29,2008.
Five companies have submitted a letter of intent to submit a proposal in response to the City's
RFP. The proposals are due on November 14, 2007. When the proposals are submitted, the City

will have a better idea of how much the recycling program will cost after the Waste Management
contract expires.
