Score Funds I Reevc:le4 Products The City Clerk reports there is approximately $5, 000 in SCORE Funds which can be used to purchase recycled products. Committee Members Peterson and Seeley have been looking through catalogs and pricing possible equipment purchases. Some ideas were recycling cans, bicycle racks and bleachers for the ball fields. It was questioned whether .an aluminum shelter, priced from $5,OPO - $10,000 would qualify for SCORE Funds. Committee Member Seeley suggested replacing wood timbers in the parks with recycled products. The prices for bleachers are $1400 - $1660 and at least two (2) sets would be needed. Committee Member Peterson feels putting the money into recycling cans is not a practical use as the cans that are currently in the parks are used for garbage even though they are clearly marked 'garbage' and 'recycling. The committee questioned what exactly qualifies as a recycled product, what is the time frame on this money, does it have to be used by the end of the year, what will be available next year, and is there a specific catalog or web site that is recommended by Anoka County? Ms. Stephan will give these requests to the Recycling Coordinator. BoD~troo. Rosene..
