Pine River, MN 56474 <br /> February 15, 2006 <br /> Pequot Lakes City Council <br /> 31108 Government Drive <br /> PO Box 361 <br /> Pequot Lakes, MN 56472 <br /> Cathy Malecha—Mayor <br /> Dave Sjoblad—Councilman <br /> Greg Welu—Councilman <br /> Jerry Akerson - Councilman <br /> Joanne Johnson—Councilperson <br /> Justin Bolz-Andolshek—Councilman <br /> Mary Pfeiffer—Councilperson <br /> c.c. Marty Peisch—City Clerk <br /> Dear Council, <br /> I have enclosed the standard State of MN"Score Reporting Form" with information on <br /> the type and quantity of recyclable material Waste Partners has collected from the City of <br /> Pequot Lakes during January 2006. <br /> Waste Partners has been providing curbside residential recycling to our customers in <br /> Pequot Lakes since April of 2003. In January of this year our company serviced 107 <br /> homes including a trailer Park in the City limits with 63 participating in our curbside <br /> recycling program. We also collect recycling from several businesses in town but is not <br /> included in the information supplied. <br /> I am writing this letter to begin a discussion with the City of Pequot Lakes about possible <br /> funding opportunities for this program. Admittedly, our company began this program in <br /> Pequot Lakes to improve the quality of services available and to hopefully attract new <br /> customers. The City has no obligation for that decision. However, most residential <br /> recycling services in the State of Minnesota exist only with government subsidy (Score <br /> funds) since they can not support themselves. This requires municipalities to make <br /> choices on how they choose to best utilize the funding they receive. <br />
