The primary operating cost is the amounts paid to a contractor to pickup <br />recycling materials. <br />The following table provides a summary of the 2013 and 2014 (Proposed) Budget: <br />The City recently negotiated a new 3-year contract that goes into effect in 2014. The contract is <br />approximately $100,000 less than the amount shown in the budgeted amount above. However, it has <br />not yet been signed and therefore remains unchanged in the budget. The reduced amount is reflected in <br />the rates charged to homeowners shown below. <br />Under the new contract, the City expects to receive as much as $140,000 in revenue sharing in 2014 <br />along with a $65,000 SCORE grant from Ramsey County. These factors will allow the City to lower its <br />curbside recycling rates. <br />The Recycling Fund is in excellent financial condition and is in a good position to absorb potential <br />reductions in revenue sharing projections. The Fund has a current cash reserve of $264,000 or 50% of <br />the current operating budget. <br />Rate Impacts for 2014 <br />As noted above, a typical single - family home will pay $172.10 per quarter, or $57.37 per month. This <br />is an increase of $2.55 per month from 2013. The following tables provide a more detailed breakdown <br />of the proposed rates. <br />Page 4 of 10 <br />2013 <br />2014 <br />$ Incr. <br />(Decrease) <br />% Incr. <br />(Decrease) <br />Personnel <br />$ 32,375 <br />$ 36,500 <br />Supplies & Materials <br />405 <br />600 <br />Other Services & Charges <br />241910 <br />301410 <br />Contract Pickup <br />4741005 <br />5251000 <br />Total <br />$ 531,695 <br />$ 592,410 <br />$ 60,715 <br />11.4% <br />The City recently negotiated a new 3-year contract that goes into effect in 2014.
