Funding for the City's recycling program is through the Select Committee on Recycling and the Environment <br />(SCORE). This funding is used to cover that portion of the Senior Planner's salary spent on recycling activities, <br />as well as recycling promotion and education, and the city's various recycling events throughout the year. <br />Recommendation: <br />Staff have been satisfied with the performance of the program and hauler as is. This information was presented to <br />the Environmental Policy Board (EPB) at their February 10, 2025 meeting. The consensus of the EPB was that <br />the City should continue with an organized collection system for recycling. The EPB recommended that the City <br />first attempt to negotiate with the current hauler on either a contract extension or a new contract. The EPB further <br />recommended that if negotiations are not successful, the City should issue a Request for Proposals for curbside <br />recycling service. <br />Outcome/Action: <br />Provide direction to Staff on whether to initiate negotiations with the current hauler, draft an RFP for curbside <br />recycling service, or migrate to an open hauling system. <br />Attachments <br />MN State Statute 115A.93 <br />League of Minnesota Cities Informational Memo on City Solid Waste Management <br />Current Recycling Contract <br />DRAFT EPB Meeting Minutes Dated February 10, 2025 <br />Form Review <br />Inbox Reviewed By Date <br />Brian Hagen Brian Hagen 03/06/2025 08:34 AM <br />Form Started By: Chris Anderson Started On: 03/04/2025 09:09 AM <br />Final Approval Date: 03/06/2025 <br />
