REQUEST FOR ACTION <br />To Item Number <br />Mayor and City Council 5.8 <br />Agenda Section Meeting Date Prepared by <br />Community Development September 20, 2010 Rebecca Haug, Environmental <br /> Administrator <br />Item Description Reviewed by <br />Fall 2010 Clean-Up Week Proposed Fee Schedule Lori Johnson, Ci Administrator <br /> Reviewed by <br />Action Requested <br />Staff is requesting City Council to approve the proposed fee schedule for the Fall Clean-Up Week <br />scheduled for October 18-22, 2010. <br />Background/Discussion <br />City staff recently met with staff from the Elk River Landfill (ERL) to discuss this fall's Clean-Up events. <br />There has been concern on the City staff side about the amount of material being brought to the landfill <br />during Clean-Up Week and the costs associated with it. The City has been subsidizing a majority of the <br />costs associated with the disposal of materials during this event. Sherburne County typically provides <br />some grant funding for this event but is unable to this year. Because of this, staff is proposing that the <br />City Council charge residents the cost the City is charged for disposal. The cost is still considerably lower <br />than what theywould be charged during anon-Clean-Up Week. <br />The other advantage to charging the residents the same rate as the City is charged is that it will free up <br />staff time, since residents will not have to pre-pay for a voucher. Residents would simply stop by City <br />Hall, show their proof of residency, and be given a voucher with the City embossed stamp to bring to the <br />ERL to be able to dispose of materials at the City's rates. Then the City would not have to deal with any <br />of the financial duties related to the event. <br />Below is the fee schedule the City has been given by the Elk River Landfill.
