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 2018. The 2018 funding includes enhancement funds for the following program areas: Monthly/Quarterly Drop-off Events — $10,000 or $15,000 depending on HH's General Enhancement Grant $1 /HH Organics Collection $0.50/HH if no organics drop-off or curbside program Organics Collection $1/HH if there is an organics drop-off or curbside program Additional Grant Request up to $30,000 The 2018 municipal recycling goal is 210 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. One copy of the contract has been enclosed for signature by your municipality. Please obtain the necessary signatures. The funding amounts you requested on Attachment B and the final funding award, Attachment C, are included as part of this contract. Mail the signed copy back to our department and we will obtain remaining signatures. We will return the original to you once fully -executed. We will not be able to reimburse any expenditures until we have a signed contract returned by your municipality. 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. Pror tiot iolri Operations Building ci nr:of. oty U€;
