Task 3 — Assess and Provide Recommendations <br />on Potential Partnerships with Private Sector and <br />Non -Profit Sector for Facility Operations <br />In the metro area, there are various models of public -private, public - <br />non -profit and public -private -non-profit joint operations of drop-off <br />facilities and materials processing and recycling operations. The <br />Anoka County Solid Waste Plan highlights the importance of govern- <br />ment, resident and business partnerships to achieve solid waste man- <br />agement goals. There are opportunities for an innovative approach to <br />management of the new facility that will take advantage of strengths <br />of all partners to achieve an optimal facility and set of services for the <br />City. <br />After the kickoff meeting, Foth will develop a matrix of operations <br />options for the facility, using the preferences indicated by the City. <br />The matrix will include various accepted commodities, options for <br />management, and pluses and minuses of the management options. <br />After consultation with the City to determine their preferences, Foth <br />will facilitate a site visit/meeting with City -selected private sector and/ <br />or non-profit entities to discuss potential management options for the <br />facility, and the potential interest of the entities in such management. <br />Foth will prepare a memo outlining potential partnerships, pluses and <br />minuses of such partnerships, and specific methods (contracts, RFPs' <br />etc) for implementation. <br />Task 3 Deliverables <br />• Matrix of options for operation of a facility. <br />• Facilitated meeting with City staff to fine-tune the options, <br />determine City preferences. <br />• Facilitated site visits/meetings with potential partners to introduce <br />operations options, gather input and feedback on options, and <br />determine interest and potential involvement.
