Staff recommends adoption, of the following motion: "Move to adopt Resolution No. 91-14 authorizinq the submittal of the 1991 Hennepin county Recyclinq Grant Application." Overview. The Ci ty of Hopkins began a source-separated curbside" recycling program on February 1, 1989 in response to County and Metropolitan council mandates. In order to aid cities in funding their recycling programs, Hennepin County developed a Funding Assistance Policy for source-Separated Recyclables. This policy requires that each municipality, applying for funding assistance, adopt a resolution each yeqrapprovingthe submittal of the grant application. A copy of the resolution must be submitted to the County before they will process the application. . A similar procedure was followed in 1989 with Council Report No. 89- 32, which affirmed the city's commitment to recycling. They are now again requiring this process be followed in 1991 as part of the Funding Assistance Policy for source-separated Recyclables. The resolution proposed was adapted from a sample developed by Hennepin County. Primary Issues to Consider o Is adoption of .this Resolution in the best interest of the City of Hopkins? The city of Hopkins' recycling, program successfully achieved the abatement goals required to receive 80% funding from Hennepin County in 1989 and 1990. Funding received in 1989 was $99,824.34 and is projected to be $115,454.36 for 1990. The 1991 estimated funding amount, if the 16% abatement level required for 80% funding is achieved, is $120,994.64. The County is requiring this resolution as a part of the grant application process. supportinq Information o Council Report 89-32 o Hennepin County Letter of 1/9/91 o Proposed Resolution 91-14 · 0 max ax, Recycling Coordinator . .

In response to this mandate, the City of Hopkins has committed Itself to establish recycling programs which will achieve the 10~ source-separation goal. For example, beginning February 1, 1989, over 2700 residents in . Hopkins will have the opportunity to have their separated recyclable materials conveniently collected at the alley or boulevard by a contracted recycling collector. In April the City will begin a special pilot collection program for an additional 270 residents using the City's Automated Collection Vehicles.
