<br />Date: August 31, 2020 <br />To: Municipal Recycling Coordinators <br />From: Sue Doll, Solid Waste Specialist <br />Regarding: 2021 Municipal Funding and Goals Information <br />Included in this email is your customized 2021 Municipal Waste Abatement Grant Funding <br />Application. In order to give each community time to fill out the application, please have any <br />questions to us by September 18, 2020. <br />For the County to make timely funding awards to each municipality, the 2021 Waste <br />Abatement Grant Funding Application must be received by September 30, 2020. If the <br />county does not receive a funding application from your municipality by this deadline, <br />you will not be eligible to receive funding. <br />The Base Funding, Drop-off, General Enhancement, Organics and Additional Grant Program <br />funding calculations are the same as last year. Any dollar amount changes are due to <br />increases in population taken from the 2019 Met Council population estimates. <br />The following are the changes for 2021 Program Funding: <br />Everyone must fill out an application for Base Funding. If nothing is turned in, the <br />County will not assume you only need Base Funding. <br />The Base Funding section is laid out similar to the regular reimbursement form. Make <br />sure to note estimated revenue received in each section since there is not a separate <br />revenue section. Enter revenue as a negative number and it will be calculated <br />automatically within the form. <br />Only staff time spent directly on activities that help the municipality achieve its <br />recycling goal will be eligible for funding e.g. communications and collecting, <br />processing or marketing recyclable materials and organics. <br />Every section of the application must be filled out completely with how the municipality <br />plans to spend the requested funding. Do not simply write the dollar amount requested. <br /> <br />Once the grant applications have been reviewed and awarded, you will be sent your final contract <br />so there is no need to obtain signatures at this time. The County will return grant award letters <br />and contracts to you no later than December 1, 2020. <br />Your tonnage goals were calculated using the same formula as the past two years, 215 ppy <br />(pounds per person per year) for single family households and 160 ppy for multi-family <br />households. <br />Thank you for your cooperation and efforts to reduce waste and increase the amount of material <br />recycled and composted in Anoka County.
