• Hillside Park (1) <br />• Lion's Park (1) <br />• Woodland Trails (1) <br />FINANCIAL IMPACT <br />The cost for 10 Big Belly/Smart Belly Stations -solar compactors for waste and non-compacting Smart <br />Belly's for recycling = $64,200 total ($1,070/month). <br />The city would apply fox $48,150 from SCORE funds. <br />The city's match would be $16,050 from the Landfill Abatement Fund. <br />The city spends approximately $142/month ($1,700/year) to maintain one traditional receptacle. With the <br />purchase of 10 receptacles, the monthly cost per receptacle is nearly identical. The cost includes the staff <br />time to service the receptacle, the transportation of the materials to another site serviced by Randy's, and <br />the disposal cost of the material. With the ability to monitor receptacles servicing needs on-line, staff and <br />Randy's would be able to reduce the number of trips to the parks, saving staff time, fuel, and disposal <br />fees. Currently, the city pays Randy's $4,188/year to collect the waste at the YAC, Lion's Park, and <br />Orono. The cost could be cut nearly in half with the Big Belly/Smart Belly systems saving approximately <br />$2,000/year on disposal costs and potentially saving $8,000/year in staff time. <br />ATTACHMENTS <br />Big Belly Brochure <br />Sherburne County SCORE Grant Application <br />Big Belly Solar Product Quote <br />Action Motion by Second by Vote <br />Follow Up <br />N:\Public Bodies\City Council\Council RCA\Agenda Packet\O1-17-2012\Big Belly.docx <br />
