ADOPTION OF RESOLUTION 91-27 AUTHORIZING THE SUBMITTAL
OF THE HENNEPIN--CC\UNTY 1991 YARD WASTE REBATE APPLICATION
Proposed Action.
Staff recommends adoption of the following motion: "Move to adopt
Resolution No. 91-27 authorizing the submittal of the Henne~in County
1991 Yard Waste Rebate Application."
Overview.
The ci ty of Hopkins has a program which collects yard waste from
residential properties in the City Service area on a weekly basis from
-- April 15 through October 30. The yard waste is collected and debagged
at the collection point into rear load refuse trucks. The yard waste
collected is temporarily stored at our gravel pit site, located at
3100 County Road 73, and arrangements are made each year to have the
material hauled and landspread.
By handling our yard waste in this manner we qualify for a Yard Waste
Rebate from Hennepin County. This rebate is funded by monies given to
." Hennepin county from the SCORE bill legislation. In 1990 the rebate
amount that Hopkins received was $31,483.00.
This year, as a requirement of the rebate application, municipalities
are required to adopt a resolution approving the submittal of the Yard
Waste Rebate Application. A copy of the resolution must be submitted
to the County before they will process the application.
Primary Issues to Consider
o Is adoption of this Resolution in the best interest of the City
of Hopkins?
The County is requiring this resolution as a part of the grant
application process. The city of Hopkins' yard waste management
program has been successful in increasing our total waste abatement
percentage and provides a service to residents in our city service
area. Funding for this program prior to 1990 was through general
funds and the refuse utility fee. The 1990 Yard Waste Rebate amounted
to $31,483.00 and helped us to avoid an increase in the Refuse utility
fee. The County is projecting that we will receive the same rebate
amount in 1991.
