Item No. 08D <br />Type of Business: CA <br />WK: Work Session; PH: Public Hearing; <br />CA: Consent Agenda; CB: Council Business <br />City Administrator Review: _____ City of Mounds View Staff Report <br />To: Mayor and City Council <br />From: Mary Springer, Receptionist/Recycling <br />Coordinator <br />Item Title/Subject: Resolution No. 7177, Approving the 2008 SCORE <br />Recycling Grant Request to Ramsey County <br />Meeting Date: October 22, 2007 <br /> <br /> <br /> <br />In conjunction with Ramsey County and the State of Minnesota SCORE <br />Program, the City of Mounds View is eligible to apply for grant monies to fund <br />2008 recycling activities. As a part of the grant application, the City Council must <br />formally request the funding. This amount is projected to be $25,994.00. <br /> <br />The attached 2008 SCORE funding grant application describes Mounds View’s <br />recycling program and proposed budget allocation. Please note SCORE funds <br />may only be used for their allocated purposes. (e.g., administration funds may <br />not be used for publicity costs.) <br /> <br />In 2008, Staff is hoping to bring attention to composting in the City of Mounds <br />View. Staff is planning to purchase composting bins and kitchen collectors to <br />help facilitate this. In addition, the residents who receive these bins and <br />collectors will be responsible for coordinating a report about the compost use and <br />garbage reduction. Composting information will be cited in the Mounds View <br />Matters and CTV. <br /> <br />RECOMMENDATION: To adopt Resolution No. 7177, approving the 2008 SCORE <br />Recycling Grant Request to Ramsey County. <br /> <br />Respectfully submitted, <br />Mary Springer <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br />
