In addition, targeted program funds are available for specific program areas and funds may be used for problem materials and yard waste/organics. The household count is based on the latest population and household estimate available from the Metropolitan Council. This funding allocation is not dependent upon the receipt of the second SCORE allocation. The county will use reserve funds if the second grant payment is not received in the spring of 2017. The 2017 funding includes enhancement funds for the following program areas: Full Service Drop-off Recycling Centers — $30,000 Monthly/Quarterly Drop-off Events — $10,000 to $15,000 depending on the number of households* Park and Community Event Recycling — $1,000 to $3,000 depending on the number of households** Curbside and Multi -Unit Recycling — $2,000 to $6,000 depending on the number of households*** General Enhancement Grant $0.50/Household (HH) Organics Collection $1/HH *Up to 4,999 HH — $10,000 and 5,000 HH and up — $15,000 **Up to 2,000 HH — $1,000; 2001— 4,999 HH — $2,000 and 5,000 HH and up — $3,000 ***Up to 2,000 HH — $2,000; 2001— 4,999 HH — $4,000 and 5,000 HH and up — $6,000 The contract again includes a change order of up to 10% of your total allocation. The 2017 municipal recycling goal is 205 pounds per person for single family households (up to 4 units) and 160 pounds per person for multi -unit households (5 units or more). This goal reflects the estimated tonnage needed to assist the county in achieving its recycling goal as established by the State of Minnesota. The goals have been set to reflect the differences between single family and multi -unit housing. Three copies of the contract have been enclosed for signature by your municipality. Please have all three signed and fill in the 2017 Municipal Funding Request — Attachments B and C. Attachment C provides additional space to list how each category selected will be spent. Each contract must have a completed Attachment B and C. Mail all three signed copies back to our department and we will obtain remaining signatures. We would like to receive all contracts back by the end of February so that we know what funds may be available for redistribution. Thank you for your cooperation and efforts to reduce waste and increase the amount of material recycled in our county. Please do not hesitate to contact me if you have any questions regarding this information. iy r>�r:rcyE;l t rpt WI).Y i!i`� _i1,
