We will not be able to provide more supplemental funds beyond the <br />2004 SCORE funding allocation for municipal recycling programs. To minimize the impact of this <br />reduction on your municipal program, the Anoka County Board of Commissioner wishes to provide an <br />option for you to reserve a portion of the 2003. SCORE allocation for use in 2004. <br />On April 22, 2003, the County Board approved Resolution 2003 -63 which will allow the reallocation of <br />any remaining 2003 SCORE funds to your 2004 SCORE funding. Our hope is that this will provide you <br />maximum flexibility to provide a residential recycling program with reduced funding. <br />I know that you are dedicated to your efforts to provide a recycling program and we will continue to work <br />together to find creative solutions to manage our resources. I am sure that, working together, we will be <br />able to get through this period, to reduce the impact on our recycling programs and may even find ways to <br />improve our programs. <br />Thank you for your cooperation, <br />Jiro A. Kordiak, Chair <br />Anoka County Waste Management and Energy Committee <br />cc: Marty Asleson — Recycling Coordinator <br />Anoka County Commissioners <br />Steve Novak, Governmental Services Division Manager <br />Brad Fields, Director Integrated Waste Management <br />Enclosure <br />
