a way to recycle it. This is leading to excessive contamination. The recycling motto has now shifted to 'when in <br />doubt, throw it out'. This is where our efforts should be focused. <br />Funding Request to Anoka County <br />In addition to the base allocation ($57,990.00), there are four (4) broad funding categories where additional funds <br />can be requested (Drop -Off, General Enhancement, Organics, and an Open -Grant option for general program <br />expansion). Staff sought additional funding for drop-off programing ($15,000.00), general program enhancements <br />($3,000.00) and organics ($3,300.00) programming. This resulted in a total funding request and approved allocation <br />of $62,950 for recycling programming <br />Alternatives <br />Alternative 1: Enter into the Residential Recycling Agreement for the base allocation of $57,990 plus an additional <br />$21,300 for recycling drop-off programming, general program enhancements and continuation of the organics <br />recycling drop-off program. The additional funds will assist the City with efforts to meet the 2021 tonnage goal <br />established by Anoka County. Staff supports this alternative. <br />Alternative 2: Do not enter into the Residential Recycling Agreement with the County. By not executing this <br />agreement with the County, the City would not receive any SCORE funding for 2021 (a loss of $57,990.00). A <br />portion of the City Planner position is funded through this allocation (duties related to managing the recycling <br />program) as are all recycling related activities, including the spring, summer, and fall recycling events. Staff does <br />not support this option. <br />Funding Source: <br />Ramsey's recycling program and related staff time are funded with SCORE funds received from Anoka County <br />annually and recorded under the Recycling Enterprise Fund. <br />Recommendation: <br />Staff recommends adopting Resolution #20-264 authorizing the Mayor, on behalf of the City, to sign the Agreement <br />for Residential Recycling Program with Anoka County <br />Action: <br />Motion to Adopt Resolution #20-264 authorizing SCORE funds for 2021. <br />Attachments <br />SCORE Document <br />Resolution #20-264 <br />Form Review <br />Inbox Reviewed By Date <br />Tim Gladhill Tim Gladhill 11/19/2020 09:51 AM <br />Kurt Ulrich Kurt Ulrich 11/19/2020 02:35 PM <br />Form Started By: Chloe McGuire Brigl Started On: 11/05/2020 04:49 PM <br />Final Approval Date: 11/19/2020 <br />
