It should be noted that 4 out of the 5 haulers commented they would work with the City and if need be, change their schedules to accommodate a decision by Council. Council will need to determine what day(s) of the week will be less of an impact with the residents and the hauler and should the City be split in two halves for the purpose of picking up garbage and recycling in 2 days. If so, the City Code Chapter 603.06 subd. 2, “Requirements and Restrictions” will need to be amended to reflect this change. SCORE Grant Compliance regarding Multi-Family Dwellings and Recycling Availability Ramsey County had informed Staff that the City was not in compliance with the conditions of the SCORE Grant due to the fact that Multi-Family Dwellings were not required to provide recycling services for their residents. In the November 3, 2003 staff report, Staff gave options as to how the City could get into compliance with the SCORE Grant, one of which was to change the licensing for Multi-Family Dwelling units to include a requirement that recycling services must be provided to their residents. A notice was sent out along with their 2003-04 license explaining the new requirement. (See attached) Staff will be working with RW Beck, consultant hired by Ramsey County, for assistance in developing an informational brochure for the residents and property owners/managers of Multi-Dwelling properties. It should be noted that Ramsey County stated that the City’s new requirement for Multi- Dwelling licensing is a step towards compliance. Should the reported tonnages not significantly increase within the next 1-2 years, they may decide that further action will need to be taken by the City to become compliant in order to continue receiving the funding of the SCORE Grant.
