Home My WebLink About4.i. 1996 Community Landfill Abatement Funding Application � � CITY OF ROSEMOUNT EXECUTIVE SUMMARY FOR ACTION CITY COUNCIL MEETING DATE: September 5, 1995 , AGENDA ITEM: 1996 Community Landfiii AGENDA SECTION: Abatement Funding Application CONSENT AGENDA PREPARED BY: David J. McKnight AGEND )� ]� Intern �� `T i ATTACHMENTS: Application; Resolution APPROVED BY: The attached application will be submitted to Dakota County with your approval. Rosemount has submitted and received funding for this program since 1988. The County makes these funds available to cities to help defray the cost of administering a recycling program. Next years funding amount is 511,266, a complete budget is attached with the application. Although I hav� shown money in the community share section of the budget I am sure that the city can administer the program with the money from the county. There will be an increase in the amount of activity that the city performs, but this should not involve city funding. An innovation grant has also been applied for in this grant for the purpose of purchasing recycling containers for each of the softball fields. These abatement funds are an essential part of our program operation. Rosemount has had a very successful recycling program in the past. Residents have voluntarily recycled over 50% of all waste generated which is very good in comparison to other cities in the county. 1 encourage your continued support and recommend approval of the attached resolution.
