The City of Rosemount is responsible for the administration and reporting
to the County of the recycling operation in the City. In turn, the City
receives money from the County to help defer the direct costs. Eligible
direct costs include promotional niaterial, containers, supply materials
(office) and labor directly related to recycling activities.
In previous action taken by Council in October, we have applied for 1993
funding in the amount of $5, 888 .00 .
The tracking, report generation and application preparation takes
approximately 200 hours per year to do. This is not enough time to justify
hiring a person, however it is more time than we have available with
current staffing.
I have had discussions with the Farmington City Administrator, Larry
Thompson, and their solid waste staff regarding a shared position. They
need someone to carry out the same tasks as we do plus additional solid
waste management. Farmington' s Council has approved a full-time position
on their Staff to perform the functions needed. They have further agreed
to enter into a Joint Powers Agreement (J.P.A. ) with the City of Rosemount
to provide us the time we need for our applications, monitoring and
reporting to Dakota County.
Farmington would hire, house and pay this clerical position. We would
reimburse them for our direct costs from proceeds we receive from Dakota
County. The costs for the administration of our program could not exceed
the funds we receive from the County. We have established a ma.ximum of l0a
of the annual salary as Rosemount' s share.
Based upon the contract with Knutson Services for recycling, the way they
report and the preparation work I have personally done this year, I am
confident that this arrangement will work fine. The Agreement has a 30 day
termination clause by either party in the event it doesn' t work as
designed.
I recommend approval of the Agreement.
RECOMMENDED ACTION: MOTION TO ENTER INTO A JOINT POWERS AGREEMENT WITH
THE CITY OF FARMINGTON FOR SOLID WASTE/RECYCLING SPECIALIST POSITION.
