CITY OF ST. ANTHONY 1991 & 1992 ANNUAL REPORT FOR THE USE OF MATERIALS WITH RECYCLED CONTENT IN PUBLICLY FUNDED CONSTRUCTION AND REMODELING PROJECTS Resolution 91-029 called for the City to ensure, whenever practical and appropriate, that materials with recycled content are used in the construction or remodeling of municipal facilities. Resolution 91-029 also called for the City Manager or his/her designee to submit an Annual Report, to be filed with the City Clerk, with a copy to the Clerk of Hennepin County Board, which overviews the use of construction materials recycled content which are used in the construction of remodeling of municipal facilities. As Resolution 91-029 was adopted June 4, 1991, and the City desired to report on a calendar year basis, a combined annual report for 1991 and 1992 was completed at this time. The Public Works Department,who is responsible for City construction/remodeling projects, has used materials with recycled content. The following instances are: (1) Aggregate for overlay projects -- approximately $15,000 worth per year; (2) Remanufactured vehicle parts -- as needed dependent upon repair requirements (budgeted amount $17,500 per year); (3) Recycled plastic parking stop blocks -- approximately 25 purchased in 1991/1992. The City has strongly considered the use of recycled plastic parts for park benches and equipment, but the cost in many cases has been prohibitive (+10% of cost of other materials). The City would prefer the use of recycle plastic parts if the costs would adjust more in-line with other material costs. The City also encourages the use of materials with recycled content in its Request for Proposals. An example of the language used is included with this report.
