LAKE ELMO CITY COUNCIL MINUTES MAY 2, 1989 PAGE 14 ( F. Recycling Recommendation At a previous meeting, the Council approved a 6 month contract with TMT Recycling and a one year contract with Bellaire Sanitation for recycling services in the City. Bellaire Sanitation proposed to ,provide recycling services to Cimarron Park with a co -mingle program for which they provided containers to each resident of the Park. Bellaire did not get the container grant it applied, for at the Met Council and was not able to begin the program in Cimarron in April. In the meantime, TMT has continued to pick up recyclables in the Park. At their April 26th meeting, the Solid Waste Committee recommended that the City cancel the contract with Bellaire and extend TMT's contract to include the entire City. John Maroney of TMT agreed only to a contract that will coincide with the 6 month contract the City gave him in March which means that our contract or recycling services will only be good thru August of this year. The City has received a $5000 grant from Washington County for the purchase of recycling containers, but have not as yet ordered the containers because we are waiting to see how the co -mingle program proposed by Bellaire Sanitation would work out. In lieu of what has happened to Bellaire, the Solid Waste Committee would like to proceed with the purchase of the containers using the funds provided by Washington County, the proceeds from the garage sale, and some of the funds accumulated in the Recycling and Compost Fund. M/S/P Graves/Williams - to extend the recycling contract thru August, 1989 (which coincides with the 6 month contract the City gave him in March) to John Maroney of TMT. (Motion carried 4-0) The Council asked the Committee for a distribution plan of the recycling containers. G.
