He explained <br />they are working on continuing funding for those <br />cities that have not yet set up funding for <br />recycling programs for 1991, as well as funds <br />for those cities which have set up programs, to <br />enhance and expand the recycling programs they <br />have in place. He stated this issue would be <br />discussed by the Committee tomorrow. <br />• Mayor Hankner questioned whether tax payers <br />would still be taxed, while also paying for the <br />recycling program. <br />Mr. Hansen reviewed the criteria for cities to <br />become exempt from this tax. <br />Ramsey County Commissioner Duane McCarty reviewed <br />how the County Board addresses road needs. Total <br />reconstruction needs are at $118 million, for <br />Ramsey County alone, with the County having only <br />$4 million to work with at this time. <br />Commissioner McCarty reviewed the process that <br />is used to select projects and how they do the <br />best job possible with the funds available. <br />Assistant County Public Works Director Paul <br />Kirkwood reviewed the County's 1990-1991 capital <br />improvement plan. He also reviewed projects <br />slated for 1990, 1991 and 1992, which total the <br />$118 million, including both construction and <br />maintenance. Mr. Kirkwood reviewed the rating <br />factors used in the selection of projects that <br />get approved. <br />• Upon questioning, he verified that Spring Lake <br />Road is non-programmed, indicating work on it <br />would be beyond 1992. <br />Motion Carried <br />8.
