Office of: <br />JOEL R. HANSON, Administrator <br />515 Little Canada Road <br />Little Canada, MN 55117 <br />612- 484 -2177 <br />FAX: 612- 484 -4538 <br />CITY OF LITTLE CANADA <br />RAMSEY COUNTY, MINNESOTA <br />MEMORANDUM <br />TO: Mayor and City Council <br />FROM: Dave Harris, Supt. of Public Works <br />DATE: September 12, 1990 <br />RE: Report on Recycling <br />The Ramsey County Master Plan calls for ending recycling <br />funding on December 31, 1990. On August 7 at the Ramsey <br />County Commissioner's meeting, they extended the deadline <br />until "dates certain" in 1991. What this means is the City <br />of Little Canada has to have a long term funding program in <br />effect when the County ceases to administer grant funds to <br />the City of Little Canada. <br />Although we will still be receiving funds for recycling, <br />Zack Hanson from Ramsey County Solid Waste and Recycling <br />Division has informed me that there is a possible cut of <br />36% of our funding for recycling programs in the City of <br />Little Canada in 1991. That 36 %, which comes from score <br />money and Met Council grants, will approximately be <br />$15,170. If we do not go to charging residents, this is <br />money the City will have to disburse just to stay at <br />today's level. Those funds which they will be cutting will <br />go into administrating new programs in cities that do not <br />have recycling at this point. The $15,170+ only covers our <br />funding for single family homes. At this point in time, we <br />do not recycle the multi - family units and we get no funding <br />from Ramsey County to subsidize the multi- family units as <br />they stated that it is an inequity in their system and <br />there is nothing they can do about it. <br />As you may know, on your 1990 tax statements, the residents <br />of Little Canada received charges of $21.58 per year on <br />single family homes and $14 per year on apartments and <br />multi - family units. For single family homes, duplexes, <br />tri -plex townhouses and condominiums, $13.43 of that $21.58 <br />goes for funding recycling. $8.15 goes for administration <br />Page 16 <br />MAYOR <br />Michael Fahey <br />COUNCIL <br />Beverly Scalze <br />Bill Blesener <br />Rick Collova <br />Jim LaValle <br />
