J~ 1:- REQUEST FOR ACTION Kier' To Item Number Ci Council 3.6. Agenda Section Meeting Date Prepared by Consent December 21, 2009 Rebecca Haug, Environmental Administrator Item Description Reviewed by Recycling Rebates Tim Simon, Finance Director Reviewed by Lori ohnson, Ci Administrator Action Requested Approve Recycling Rebate Application with proposed changes from the December 7, 2009 City Council meeting. Background/Discussion In an effort to encourage more residents to participate in the City's SSO program, staff had recommended a change to the recycling rebate structure. At the December 7, 2009 City Council meeting, it was recommended by Councilmember Motin to increase the rebate to $40 to the residents who participate in the City's curbside recycling and SSO program throughout the year and keep the $25 rebate for those residents who only participate in the City's curbside recycling program. Staff has drafted and attached a new rebate application to include those changes. Financial Impact The recycling rebates are funded out of the landfill abatement fund via a transfer at the end of each calendar year to the Garbage fund once we know the amount of participants. The budget impact for the above mentioned change for 2010 will be none as the forms have already been submitted for the 2009 year, credited in January or February 2010. The change will affect the 2011 garbage budget as we estimate a transfer in of $31,625. Estimated participation is 275 households @ $40 and 825 households @ $25. Here is the history on the dollar amount of the recycling rebates: 2010 - $27,500 estimated 2009 - $11,825 2008 - $27,080 2007 - $16,650 Attachments • Recycling Rebate Application • Minutes from December 7, 2009 City Council meeting Action Motion by Second by Vote Follow Up S:\Council\Rebecca\Recycling Rebate 12 21 09.doc
