Home

Board Member Moore stated that she noticed this year that there were two or three big events in this area around the same time as the summer recycling event, and perhaps some people chose to attend other events. Councilmember Musgrove asked how this event would impact the total amount of recycling tonnage set as a goal by Anoka County. City Planner Anderson stated that he reports to the County twice per year, once in January and once in July. He stated that the summer event tonnage will be included in the second half of the year report provided to the County in January 2020. He noted that the costs to hold the events are reimbursable by SCORE funds through Anoka County. Councilmember Musgrove asked if there would be consideration to promote the fall event more because of the lesser amounts collected in the summer. City Planner Anderson stated that the City consistently promotes the different events and reviewed the different methods used for promotion. Board Member Covart asked about possible signage for the events. City Planner Anderson reported that the City is in the process of updating its dynamic display sign on Highway 10 and once completed, the City would be able to use that for the events. Chairperson Valentine stated that he and Board Member Moore have been involved in the group composed of Environmental Boards around the metro, noting that the group is attempting to setup webinars that could be viewed by Board Members. He noted that he will pass on the information to City Planner Anderson. 7. ADJOURNMENT Motion by Board Member Covart and seconded by Chairperson Valentine to adjourn the meeting.
