B. $4,536.00 in SCORE funding has been earmarked for education. <br /> These dollars will be spent on various projects like the recycling <br /> insert in the April 1996 Current and recycling calendar magnets for <br /> the residents. <br />C. $3,500.00 in SCORE funding has boon earmarked for the April 27, <br /> 1996, Clean Up Day event. Last year the event cost the city almost <br /> $8,000.00. Therefore, I intend to reapply for additional SCORE <br /> funding after the Clean Up Day event. We still need help for Clean <br /> Up Day/ If any council members are interested in helping, please let <br /> me know/ <br />D. Business Recycling. We still have 1994 SCORE funding that is <br /> earmarked for business recycling and must be spent this year. I <br /> worked with Tri-County Solid Waste to reprint the business <br /> recycling directory. I am currently working with the Elk River <br /> Chamber of Commerce to put a mailing list together and send a <br /> copy of the directory to all Elk River businesses. We will be <br /> providing education and expertise to local businesses to begin or <br /> expand their recycling programs. <br /> <br />Hauler Contracts <br /> <br />We have sent out a Request for Proposal for garbage/recycling pickup at the <br />municipal facilities. Proposals are due April 26, 1996, and we plan to have <br />the new contract by May 20, 1996. The RFP was advertised in the Star News <br />and was sent to every hauler licensed to haul waste in Elk River. <br /> <br />We have had the same contracted hauler since 1987, and staff felt that it was <br />time to see if we are getting the best service available for our money. <br /> <br />Tree Sale <br /> <br />The City of Elk River will be having a tree sale from 8:00 a.m. to noon on <br />Saturday, May 18, 1996. The Phil Hals and I are putting the project <br />together. The trees will be purchased out of the Shade Tree fund and sold at <br />significant savings to Elk River residents. All trees are bare root stock and <br />must be planted on a residential property in the city. At least one of the tress <br />must be planted in the boulevard. We will be offering two trees for the price <br />of one, and we will be targeting specific subdivisions. <br /> <br />From 8:00 a.m. to 10:00 a.m. residents of Heritage Landing 1st & 2nd, <br />Mississippi Oaks, Country Crossing 1st & 2nd, Meadowvale Heights 1st & <br />2nd and Hidden Creek Country Estates will be able to purchase four trees for <br />the price of two. <br /> <br />S:\PLANNING\KENDRA\CCUPDATE.DOC <br /> <br /> <br />
