Mayor and City Council <br />April 14, 1988 <br />PAGE 2 i 1 <br />end up with Super Cycle as its recycling contractor. <br />Different modifications to the program may occur at that <br />time dependent ugon the contractor. Because of the <br />uncertainty factor, it may be wise to wait until after the <br />bids go out before the City introduces new modifications to <br />the program. <br />I am also looking into the possibility of additional funding <br />for the program. It is my understanding that the Metropoli- <br />tan Council does have a grant program for recycling <br />containers. I will have to look into this further, but i <br />believe that this would be the best public relations program <br />the City could have for the recycling program. If the City <br />could obtain a grant which would pay a portion of the <br />recycling containers, perhaps the City could fund the <br />remaining portion. This would really make the program a <br />City program and obtain the support of more of the <br />residents. <br />RECOMMENDATION: <br />Staff recommends to continue resear...ing the alternative <br />modifications to the proposed recycling program. This <br />includes the addition of recycling containers, public <br />relations events and any other possible alternatives open to <br />the City. Staff further recommends that the work and <br />support of the City be for the currently proposed program <br />and that modifications be introduced after the current <br />program has been in effect for a period of time. <br />KH/mjs <br />
