AGENDA ITEM #10.3 <br /> REPORT TO <br /> CITY COUNCIL <br /> Date: March 8, 2006 <br /> Sub_i ect: Recycling <br /> Report: Waste Partners is requesting the Council to make <br /> SCORE funds available for curbside recycling. Presently <br /> the City collects SCORE funds to cover the drop off <br /> `.- program that has been available to area residents. <br /> If the City decided to adopt a curb side program and not <br /> eliminate the drop off site, some of the recycling costs <br /> would have to be paid by the taxpayers. Currently, the cost <br /> to the taxpayers is covered almost entirely by SCORE <br /> funds. <br /> In a conversation with Doug Morris, Crow Wing County <br /> Solid Waste Coordinator, he indicated that implementing a <br /> program like this would be an expense to the City. He also <br /> indicated that the SCORE funding is not something that is <br /> finite. Funding has been reduced and the County is picking <br /> up the shortfall. <br />
