The Parks Commission discussed placement of the <br />site, and in June the City Council approved the site to be constructed on <br />the south end of the Community Center parking lot. Staff reached out <br />to both Hennepin and Ramsey Counties to explore possible <br />partnerships for implementing an organics drop off site and ultimately <br />partnered with Ramsey County to build and operate the site at no <br />additional cost to the city. In August the City Council approved a five <br />year Joint Powers Agreement with Ramsey County for the organics site. <br />The organics drop off site was constructed and fully operational just before the end of 2018! <br />
