COUNTY OF ANOKA Office of the County Board of Commissioners COURTHOUSE ANOKA, MINNESOTA 55303 612-421-4760 August ~, 1984 Mr. Lloyd Schnelle, Administrator City of Ramsey 15153 Nowthen Boulevard N.W. Anoka, Minnesota 5S303 Dear Mr. Schnelle: As you know~ during the most recent legislative session, the State authorized counties in the metropolitan area to begin assessing a fee on solid waste received at landfills of up to 25¢ per cubic yard effective January i, 1985. The possible uses for the money collected are outlined in the law, and they are all for solid waste purposes, such as abatement activities and the closing and care of landfills. Anoka County is in the process of reviewing a proposed ordinance to impose a fee of 250 per cubic yard of solid waste deposited at mixed municipal solid waste disposal facilities in our County. The first public hearing on the subject was conducted by the Anoka County Board of Commissioners on July 2zt, 198~, and that hearing was continued to 10:30 A.M. on Tuesday, September 25, 198~t, when the matter will again be reviewed. The purpose of. this letter is to inform you that the County Board is seriously considering the collection of the 25¢ fee effective January I~ 1985. There may be some impact because of this fee on amounts paid by citizens for refuse disposal and on the budgets of local governments which have municipal g~rbage collection. Please keep in mind that a 25¢ County fee would be in addition to the State fee of 500 which Will be imposed and a 15¢ fee which may be imposed by municipalities where landfil Is are located. Should you have any questions regarding this matter, please do not hesitate to contact me or Colleen Herrmann, Assistant County Attorney~ at ~21-~t760. Sincerely, County Administrator JM:rad CC.* Col leen Herrmann Tim Yantos Bob Hutchison Marcia Bennett Affirmative Action / Equal Opportunity Employer
