Environmental Board <br />August 25, 2021 <br />Page 5 <br />APPROVED MINUTES <br />VII. UPDATES <br /> <br />A. General Updates <br /> <br />Mr. Davis provided an update on Anoka County’s Solid Waste Abatement Advisory <br />Team meeting on August 25, 2021. The next meeting will be held on October 27, <br />2021. <br /> <br />He discussed the Recycling Ambassador program conducted by Anoka County and <br />provided the Environmental Board with information on how the program works and <br />how to sign up. <br /> <br />Mr. Davis and Mr. Nelson have completed The Select Committee on Recycling and <br />the Environment (SCORE) Report for the months of January to June 2021 and will be <br />hearing back from the County some time during or after October 2021. Mr. Sullivan <br />inquired about the City’s progress on the County’s recycling goals. The City was at <br />roughly 86% of the 1st half of 2021 tonnage goal, but staff expects these numbers to <br />increase with addition of organics bins and weekly parks recycling pick up. <br /> <br />Mr. Sullivan inquired about the City’s efforts to improve business recycling outreach. <br /> <br />Mr. Davis responded that he sent the County a list of all businesses within the Lino <br />Lakes, and the County will be sending outreach postcards to all addresses on the list. <br />Mr. Nelson stated this is the extent of the work staff can do towards business <br />recycling, as the SCORE reimbursement funds are to be used for residential recycling <br />programs and the city would not be compensated for efforts on business recycling. <br /> <br />VIII. ADJOURNMENT <br /> <br />Mr. Schwartz made a MOTION to adjourn the meeting at 7:40 p.m. Motion was <br />supported by Mrs. Holmes. Motion carried 3-0. <br /> <br /> <br />
