STAFF REPORT <br />To: Mayor and City Council <br />Mark Casey, City Manager <br />From: Kim Moore, Assistant City Manager ek-11 <br />Date: February 14, 2012 <br />Subject: Amendment to the Ramsey County Joint Powers Agreement for Use of Yard Waste <br />Management Sites. <br />Background: In 2005, the City of St. Anthony entered into a Joint Powers Agreement with Ramsey County <br />whereby the County would allow residents from the Hennepin County portion of the City to use the <br />Ramsey County yard waste collection facilities in Ramsey. It was determined that the City of St. Anthony <br />would reimburse Ramsey County the amount of the City's SCORE grant funds, which are approximately <br />$5,000. <br />The initial process for obtaining and dispersing SCORE funds for the Yard Waste facility was that staff <br />would request the SCORE funds for the year receive the funds and then have Finance submit a check back <br />to the County when the City received the invoice for the yard waste facility. This process was long and <br />drawn out, taking up several months at the beginning of each year to complete. The Finance Director, <br />Ramsey County SCORE. Punds Coordinator and staff often discussed ways to make this transfer of funds <br />more efficient, but the language of the original JPA made no allowances for a more direct disbursement of <br />funds. The new proposed language allows Ramsey County to directly apply SCORE funds previously <br />allocated to the City of St. Anthony for eligible recycling costs. <br />The attached resolution is the result of many conversations, the development of amended text to the <br />existing JPA and County Board approval. <br />2012j I) a amedment ramsey co recycling str rpt(to c <br />14 <br />
