515 Little Canada Road, Little Canada, MN 55117 -1600 (612) 484 -2177 / FAX: (612) 484 4538 MEMORANDUM MAYOR Michael I. Fahey COUNCIL Beverly Scalze Jim LaValle Steve Morelan Bob Pedersen ADMINISTRATOR Joel R. Hanson TO: Mayor Fahey & Members of the City Council FROM: Dave Harris, Public Works Superintendent DATE: June 23, 1995 RE: Joint Powers Agreement for Recycling Maintenance Materials This purpose of this memo is to address concerns expressed at the last Council meeting regarding the recycling agreement. The four areas of concern were: 1. Operating Cost. The cost in and out for the sand the City brings would be $1.50 per ton. Frattalone's charges would be a minimum of $3.00 per ton for the same operation. 2. Site Location. Right now, the County plans on operating out of the Kent and Larpenteur site. Some of the operation will also be run out of their Public Works Department on Rice Street. This will be to our advantage since it is closer. 3. Little Canada's Input. Concern was expressed whether the City has a vote or any input as to the operation of the recycling site. Each city that enters into the Joint Powers Agreement has one vote. We review the rates and the vote on operating guidelines by consensus. All cities will review complete operating costs. 4. Exposure to Little Canada. In the agreement it states that the exposure dollar -wise if this project were to fold would be based on miles of streets in the City. With the amount of mileage Little Canada has, our exposure would be less than 4% of the grant amount. However, the County feels that this would never happen as they would buy the machine and reimburse the cities if need be since they can use it for screening their sealcoat materials and also for screening black dirt for their road project. According to Dan Schacht, the cities who have already passed resolutions are Roseville, Shoreview, Falcon Heights, and Page 37
