RESOLUTION 24-076
A RESOLUTION APPROVING THE FIVE YEAR JOINT POWERS AGREEMENT WITH
RAMSEY COUNTY FOR THE USE OF YARD WASTE MANAGEMENT AND ORGANIC
WASTE RECYCLING SITES FOR ALL ST. ANTHONY VILLAGE RESIDENTS
WHEREAS, Ramsey County operates a yard waste management system, which includes seven sites
for the collection of yard and organic waste from Ramsey County residents; and
WHEREAS, Organics policy in the Ramsey County Solid Waste Management Master Plan states
that the yard -waste and organic waste recycling sites are "only for residents of Ramsey
County"; and
WHEREAS, A portion of the City of Saint Anthony is within Hennepin County, and City residents
within that area have been allowed to use the County's yard waste sites since 2005,
pursuant to a joint powers agreement between the City and Ramsey County; and
WHEREAS, The Solid Waste Management Master Plan establishes a goal of placing an organics
recycling site in each municipality or within a 15-minute drive from each household in
Ramsey County; and
WHEREAS, The City of Saint Anthony would like to provide additional organic waste recycling
opportunities to all of its residents, in the form of a collection site located within the
city, whether the site users reside in Ramsey County or Hennepin County; and
WHEREAS, The City of Saint Anthony and Ramsey County have determined that the amount of
SCORE funds currently allocated to the City on an annual basis approximate the cost of
Ramsey County providing the City of Saint Anthony residents that reside in Hennepin
County with yard waste and organics recycling services; and
WHEREAS, Ramsey County is willing to make yard waste services and organic waste recycling
available to the City of Saint Anthony for a reasonable cost, and provide an exception
to the policy identified above to address the practical difficulties of providing yard
waste services and organic waste recycling for residents of the City because this City
has significant population in the two counties; and
WHEREAS, the City is willing to forgo receipt of its allocated SCORE funds for any purpose other
than making the Ramsey County yard waste and organic waste recycling sites available
to all of its residents.
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED that the City Council of the City of St. Anthony Village
hereby approve the Joint Powers Agreement between the City of Saint Anthony and Ramsey County
for the Use of Yard Waste Management and Organic Waste Recycling Sites using the City's
allocation of SCORE funds, for the period of January 1, 2025 through December 31, 2029.
