U
Staff is currently working with Dakota County to prepare the specifics for
the upcoming 1992 Rosemount Recycling Program. To obtain annual program
funding from Dakota County, it is required that the City of Rosemount
submit a completed application with a resolution of approval. To be
considered for funding in 1992, the application must be submitted to the
County no later than October 1, 1991. Therefore, I have attached the
following materials for your review and subsequent approval: (1) a memo
summarizing the 1991 Rosemount Recycling Program and the changes expected
in 1992; (2) the completed 111992 Landfill Abatement Funding Application;
and (3) "A Resolution Authorizing Application to Dakota County for Funding
the City of Rosemount 1992 Landfill Abatement Program."
Staff will be present at the meeting on Tuesday to review the attached and
to answer any questions you may have at that time.

1992 COMMUNITY LANDFILL ABATEMENT FUNDING APPLICATION
- 1992 Rosemount Recycling Program
The operations for the Rosemount Recycling Program have run smoothly throughout 1991. The Rosemount
Recycling Program continues to accept more recyciabies at curbside than any other recycling program in
Dakota County. Items which were added to the program in 1991 include high grade white paper, corrugated
cardboard, plastic containers with a neck and, more recently, magazines. In addition to the curbside
program are Rosemount's multi -family, commercial/industrial, and drop-off center recycling programs.
Rosemount was the first and remains one of the only communities in Dakota County to have a beverage can
collection program throughout the local parks system.
The recycling goal to be achievedbythe 1991 Rosemount Recycling Program is 573 tons. Staff is happy
to report that Rosemount is well over halfway there, however, an accurate comprehensive tonnage report
is not available at this time due to a delay in the calculation of yardwaste tonnages from Dakota County.
Staff will have these available for review later in September 1991.
Two notable occurrences within the 1991 Rosemount Recycling Program include:
- The community can collection site (on 145th Street next to the old post office)
which was originally set up to fund the Rosemount Lights & Banners Project.
Since that time the monthly proceeds from that can collection have been
earmarked for the Rosemount Meals on Wheels Program. in addition, the
monies can also be dedicated on a monthly basis to special programs or
projects taking place within the Rosemount community. The Rosemount
business community has been extremely supportive of this project and as a
result it has been a very successful fundraiser.
- Earlier this year, staff entered a recycling contest being sponsored by ALCOA.
The purpose of the contest was to collect information from a variety of recycling
programs throughout the United States and highlight certain programs in an
annual recycling feature that ALCOA sponsors in USA TODAY. A couple of
weeks ago an ALCOA representative contacted staff to report that they would
like to use some of the information provided about the 1991 Rosemount
Recycling Program. They will be sending the newspaper copy to Rosemount
for our review prior to the story's publication. Staff will forward it to council for
review and comment at that time.

1992 Recycling

According to the Long Term Funding Program recently developed by Dakota County for the operation of
Dakota County funded recycling programs, the 1992 Rosemount Recycling Program can be reimbursed up
to a maximum of $5,732 as opposed to a maximum of $34,356 for 1991. The basis for this Long Term
Funding Program is as follows:
A) THE CONSUMER (generator) NEEDS TO UNDERSTAND THE FULL COST OF THE SOLID WASTE
MANAGEMENT SYSTEM.
RESULT: Dakota County is no longer providing monies to cities for capital expenditures nor for reimbursing
the haulers in hopes that cities and haulers will work together to determine how recycling activities are to
be funded in the future.
B) THERE ARE ELEMENTS OF THE SYSTEM WHICH SHOULD BE PRIVATIZED TO REDUCE
GOVERNMENT INVOLVEMENT AND TO MAKE THE RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN THE
CONSUMERS AND HAULERS MORE DIRECT.
RESULT: Dakota County hopes that this will enable the area recycling market to be controlled by the
haulers and their customers rather than by government.
C) BECAUSE OF THE PRESENT SOUND FINANCIAL CONDITION OF THE FUNDING SYSTEM,
THERE IS AN OPPORTUNITY TO SAFELY AND CONSERVATIVELY MODIFY THE SYSTEM OVER
A PERIOD OF TIME.
RESULT: Most aspects of funding for Dakota County recycling programs will begin to decrease starting in
1992 and will eventually sunset, thus placing the full program responsibility upon the haulers and their
customers and those municipalities which have the means to remain involved in such programs.
D) THE COUNTY ROLE UNDER STATE LEGISLATION WILL CONTINUE TO EXPAND, AT LEAST IN
TERMS OF PLANNING, COORDINATING AND MANAGEMENT OF THE SYSTEM.
RESULT: Dakota County will be taking on the monthly recycling reporting tasks that have been conducted
by the municipalities. The cities will only be responsible for limited reporting of drop-off center and
yardwaste tonnages as well as some promotional activities.
E) THE COUNTY NEEDS TO PROVIDE A SAFETY NET FOR THE SYSTEM UNTIL MARKETS ARE
MORE ESTABLISHED AND THERE IS A LONGER HISTORY FROM WHICH TO EVALUATE
RESULTS. THERE IS ALSO A NEED TO ENSURE THAT HAULERS OF ALL SIZES REMAIN A
PART OF THE SYSTEM.
RESULT: Dakota County will be subsidizing haulers on a per ton basis for hauling their recyclabies to
certain centers (the Burnsville Recyclabies Collection Center being one). This subsidy is scheduled to sunset
in 1995.
The effect that these changes will have on the 1992 Rosemount Recycling Program are such that only a very
limited number of program activities will be reimbursable next year. No additional capital dollars will be
provided, administrative funds can be used for salaries, mileage for recycling purposes, and for promotional
and educational purposes. In addition, no portion of the $5,732 can be used to subsidize the 1992
Rosemount Recycling Program hauler(s). This makes it very important for the hauler(s) participating in the
1992 Rosemount Recycling Program to be willing to work with the city to provide some of the promotional
and education services. All hauler subsidies will be provided by Dakota County at a rate of $25 ,per ton.
Please refer to the 1992 Application for specific budget breakdown.
As a result of these changes and the impact they will have on our program, staff is working with Dakota
County and other communities to plan for the upcoming year. In addition, staff is preparing a Request for
Qualifications for the hauler(s) for the 1992 Rosemount Recycling Program. Said RFQ will likely be brought
before this council for review and approval early in October 1991.
Staff has attached for your review and consideration, a copy of the 1992 Landfill Abatement Funding
Application to Dakota County for the 1992 Rosemount Recycling Program and the proposed resolution
approving said application. At this time staff respectfully requests City Council approval of said resolution.
Thank you for your consideration.

City/Township: RncPmrnmt , MN
Address: 2875 145th Street West

participating communities and the lead community or agency for
the project, and attach a copy of the Joint Powers Agreement.
II. Please provide a brief overview of 1992 abatement activities;

expansion of existing programs; or new programs: (If more

The City of Rosemount will provide the same level of waste abatement activities in 1992
as it did in 1991. Plans are to expand the existing program at or before the time at
which Dakota County requires additional materials to be added to the program.
The City of Rosemount contracted with a single hauler to carry out the curbside collection
of recyclables and to operate the Central Drop -Off facility during 1991. Each single
family household has a bin in which to place recyclables, while the multi -family homes use
a mixture of on-site containers as well as small bins. The hauler collects weekly from
both single family homes and multi -family sites.
As in 1991, the City of Rosemount hopes to expand its commercial and industrial
recycling program.
Residents are encouraged to bring yard waste to one of the Dakota County Compost Sites.
Arrangements can also be made with their independent haulers to dispose of yard waste
separately, for a fee.
All of the City of Rosemount municipal buildings have recycling programs in place, as do
the public parks throughout the Rosemount community.
It has not been determined at this time whether the City of Rosemount will contract all
of this service with a single vendor, portions of service with a vendor or regliire
recycling to be part of each individual -waste haulers license to do business in Rosemount.
A determination on this is anticipated by December 1, 1991.
