111 Agenda Item 5A <br />Staff Originator: Marty Asleson <br />Environmental Board Meeting Date: June 20, 2012 <br />TOPIC: Recycling Enhancement Grant Program <br />Background: <br />Attached is a letter from Anoka County Commissioner Jim Kordiak on behalf of the <br />Anoka County Integrated waste Department. The letter outlines Enhancement Grant <br />opportunities from the County. Please note that the due date for this grant is June 29. <br />This is a 25 % (City) match grant opportunity for up to $50,000. <br />ANALYSIS: <br />It looks like this grant could be used for programs like "Trash to Treasures ", can- cages, <br />and perhaps the Commercial, Industrial/Business recycling expansion goal of the <br />Environmental Board. <br />We will have 9 days after the meeting to apply for grant money. It also means that we <br />will have to budget for the 25% cost match. In kind funds can be used for the match <br />portion of this grant. <br />Recommendation: <br />Staff recommends that we apply for the Anoka County Recycling Enhancement grant <br />dollars, and forward on to the City Council for approval. Given the application date of <br />the 29th' we may have to defer the City Council approval of this application till after the <br />grant deadline. <br />Attachments: <br />Letter from Anoka County Commissioner Jim Kordiak and grant doccumentation <br />
