<br /> <br /> <br />REQUEST FOR COUNCIL CONSIDERATION <br /> <br /> <br />Meeting Date: September 22, 2020 <br /> <br /> Resolution - Approving the Hennepin County Residential Recycling SCORE Grant Agreement <br />Amendment <br /> <br /> <br />OVERVIEW: <br /> <br />In front of you this evening is a resolution approving the Amended Hennepin County Residential Recycling <br />SCORE Grant Agreement. <br /> <br />The county’s current residential recycling grant agreement expires at the end of this year. The attached <br />amendment extends the contract for one year, through the end of 2021, with the allocation of funds in 2021 <br />using the same formula as 2020. <br /> <br />Hennepin County receives annual funding from the state’s Select Committee on Recycling and the <br />Environment (SCORE) fund and distributes 100% of this money to cities in accordance with the county’s <br />funding policy. Grants are awarded based on the number of households with curbside recycling service and <br />the number of households signed up for and receiving curbside organics recycling. The cities’ recycling <br />programs must meet several basic requirements to receive funding, including standard materials accepted, <br />partnership on education and outreach, reporting, and program performance. <br /> <br /> <br />19
