In 1988 Dakota County Commissioners passed resolutions stating that they would establish landfill ,abatement guidelinE s to reduce the amount of material being landfilled. They also passed a resolution stating that the County's portion of funding of recycling implementation and operating costs incurred bV cities and townships would be through a performance based funding program. When requesting funds we must demonstrate that our recycling program is consistent with the Dakota County Solid Waste Master Plan and that we maintain a program as outlined in the Dakota County Recycling I plementation Strategy. For 1993 we must provide a recycling container to all single family dwellings and collect from them on a bi-weekly basis as a minimum. We must also have recycling containers available to all multi -family dwellings. Under both of these programs newspaper, magazines, cans, 3 colors of glass, corrugated cardboard and plastic containers with a neck must be collected. Commercial and Industrial collection is not mandated at this time. To provide the necessarytntract lection needed the City contracted with Knutson Services. The arCity entered into a 2 yein 1992 with the anticipation that we would continue our recycling program in 1993 In addition to the required ollection services local entities are also required to provide informational and educational materials City wide no less than four (4) times during 1993. We, are also required to go to the public schools four (4) times during 1993 to describe recycling activities to the students. The negotiated contract with Knutson provides opportunities for them to help us with the outreach program. They will be conducting tours of their recycling facility for students and possibly the general public during 1993. The $5,888 which we are applying for in 1993 does not begin to cover all of our costs. As you may recall from previous budget discussion, there is approximately $31,000 in the Council budget (101 -41110-01-30 .4). for the Knutson contract. The money we will receive for 1992 ($5,732) as well as any money received for 1993 will be deposited into the general revenue ATTACHMENT 1.. 1993 COMMUNITY LANDFILL ABATEMENT FUNDING APPLICATION City/Township: Rosemount, MN Date Submitted: 10/01/92 Address: _2875 145th Street WestProgram Period: 1/1/93 to R semount MN 55068 12/31 93 I.
