Waste Management and discussed it with our representative and it is not violating any part of our contract. There is also potential for SCORE Funds to pay for a portion of this program. Concerns from Committee Member Peterson: I had a couple of thought today on the can recycling topic that I wanted to share. Here were some concerns which I was trying to overcome. I think the typical "Can Trailer" that I have seen is unsightly and just plain ugly. Also I think a trailer would be expense and take a good deal of time to recoup the cost. Trailers are not cheap and add to that the cost of some custom welding to build a cage and now it is likely very expensive. For these reasons, I am opposed to a"can trailer" My suggestion is that we build or have built for us, a large wooden box to hold the cans. I suggest this because it could be painted and look a lot nicer than a wire frame trailer. The cost would also be significantly less money. My suggestion is based on the, assumption that public works could use their equipment to lift this box full of cans onto a trailer for one of us to take to the recycler. I am also assuming they have a trailer which could be used. Informational email correspondence from Committee Member Peterson: I also noticed an article in the local newspaper (I forget which one), where a pop can trailer was stolen in Hugo. It is a good heads up for us on this topic. However, what was most interesting to me was the article stated the trailer belongs to National Recycling, Inc. I believe the trailer was at a school. This leads me to believe that a NRI lent the trailer to the school if they brought the cans to them. If we pursue the can recycling, this is something that we should look into. Concession Stand at Laurie LaMotte Memorial Park There was surplus inventory from the concession stand which will be donated to the Parks & Recreation Committee for their use. The supplies are mostly soda and water which Chairperson Branch felt could be used for the 8K Run or Music in the Park. Financial reporting from Mr. Mike Jeziorski, Finance Director regarding the Concession Stand: Here is where the concession stand operation stands as of today - 7/2S. Again, we still anticipate having a few more expenses trickle in, but we should be really close to breaking even when everything is said and done. Concession Operation — 25% of profits go to Lions: Donations: $1,475 Sales: $2,588 Initial Outlay: ($699) Cost of Goods Sold: ($831) Net: $776 Wages: ($1,468) Supplies ($158) Net: $131
