CITY COUNCIL <br />AGENDA ITEM 6E <br />STAFF ORIGINATOR: Andy Nelson, Environmental Coordinator <br />MEETING DATE: October loth, 2022 <br />TOPIC: Consideration of Resolution 22-123, Approving Anoka County <br />Grant Agreement for Organics Enclosure <br />VOTE REQUIRED: 3/5 <br />INTRODUCTION <br />The City has received approval for $25,000 in supplemental recycling grant funds to be used <br />for the construction of an organics enclosure in Sunrise Park. To accept these funds, the City is <br />required to enter into an agreement with Anoka County. <br />BACKGROUND <br />The City of Lino Lakes receives Select Committee on Recycling and the Environment <br />(SCORE) funds each year from Anoka County. This year the County has made additional <br />funds available to supplement these SCORE grant funds. Cities may receive up to $25,000 in <br />supplemental funding to be used for new programs or expansion and improvement of existing <br />programs. Construction of organics enclosures is an eligible expense. <br />The organics program in Lino Lakes has been growing rapidly, and has 468 participants as of <br />October P, 2022. Participants currently drop their organics materials at four sites in the City. <br />Each site has 90-gallon organics carts to accept the material. As use of these sites increases, <br />more carts are added to accommodate the increased use. Eventually, the carts must be replaced <br />with roll -off dumpsters in enclosures in order to keep the sites tidy while accommodating the <br />increased use. <br />The organics drop-off at Marshan Park currently receives the heaviest use. An enclosure at <br />Marshan Park was deemed infeasible due to site restrictions. Sunrise Park has ample room for <br />an organics enclosure that would not conflict with other uses of the park. <br />The best quote for this an enclosure with composite boards and concrete pad came in at <br />$29,198. Supplemental grant funds from the county have been approved for this project and <br />will pay for $25,000 of the total cost. The difference of $4,198 will be paid by SCORE grant <br />funds for 2022. <br />RECOMMENDATION <br />Approve Resolution No. 22-122, Approving Anoka County Contract No. C0009443, 2022 <br />Supplemental Grant for Residential Recycling Program Organics Site Enclosure. <br />ATTACHMENTS <br />
