( CITY OF ROSEMOUNT EXECUTIVE SUMMARY FOR ACTtON CITY COUNCIL MEETING DATE: October 7, 1997 AGENDA ITEM: 1998 Community Landfill Abatement AGENDA SECTION: Consent Funding Application PREPARED BY: Tim P. Brown, Water Resources ordinator AGEN � ATTACHMENTS: Application, Resolution APPROVED BY� With your approval the attached application for a 1998 Landfill Abatement Grant will be submitted to Dakota County. Rosemount has submitted and received funding for this program since 1988. The County makes these funds available to cities to help defray the costs of administering a solid waste/recycling program. Our maximum funding amount for 1998 is S 1 1 ,341 . The application includes a general breakdown of the program budget. Although I have shown expenditure in the community share of the budget, city funds are not required and I believe the program can be administered with County funds exclusively. The City's commitment for 1998 is similar to that done in the previous two years. ! By this application we agree to: I� ►Continue all ongoing recycling efforts and regulations , ►Promote recycling in multi-family housing ►Send at least one solid waste educational mailing to all residents ►Perform at least seven community contact events for educational purposes We have been able to successfully meet these goals in the past and should have no problem in 1998. Rosemount has a very successful recycling program and the County abatement grant is an essential part of our solid waste/recycling program operation. Residents receive recycling containers, published information, community presentations, answers to queries and other services. City staff receives the benefit of interaction with staff from other cities as well as Dakota County resources. I encourage your continued support and recommend approval of the attached resolution.
