Staff agreed to further research the fees and <br />report back when a County-wide decision on fees had been made. The consensus of the Sherburne <br />County Municipal Recycling Board is to set a fee of $10.00 per year for Sherburne County residents and <br />$100.00 per year for the commercial contractors. This fee schedule is being recommended by the <br />Sherburne County Municipal Recycling Board to their respective city councils for approval. A minimal <br />user fee will help stretch the SCORE funds and keep this popular program operating. All County <br />residents will pay the same fee. The City will retain all fees received. Residents and commercial users will <br />be allowed to use any drop off site in the County as long as they have paid the fee. The Recycling Board <br />intends to review and adjust fees next year. <br />Financial Impact <br />Cost to the Ciry would be about $1.00 per sticker, plus the administrative costs of selling the stickers. <br />The funds generated would be applied to the contracted grinding costs. <br />Attachments <br />None <br />Action Motion by Second by Vote <br />Follow Up <br />3-19-10 MC Action Request compost user fees.doc <br />
