ADOPTION OF RESOLUTION 2001 -11 AUTHORIZING THE SUBMITTAL
OF THE 2001 HENNEPIN COUNTY
MUNICIPAL RECYCLING GRANT APPLICATION
Proposed Action.
O ITY OF
Overview.
HOPKINS
Council Report 2001 -19
Staff recommends adoption of the following motion: "Move to adopt Resolution No.
2001 -11 authorizing the submittal of the 2001 Hennepin County Recycling Grant
Application."
The City 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 Residential Recycling. Each year as part of this grant process the County
requires that participating municipalities approve a resolution each year authorizing
submittal of the application. This resolution must be included with our grant application
in order for our grant application to be processed and funding to be dispersed.
Primary Issues to Consider
• Is adoption of this Resolution in the best interest of the City of Hopkins?
Council has already approved prior resolutions which authorized submittal of a
grant application for years 1995 -2000. Adoption of the new resolution will
complete our 2001 grant application process and allow us to continue to receive
funding from Hennepin County for our recycling program. Funding for 2001 will
be determined by taking the SCORE funds and dividing them by the total
household count in Hennepin County. This amounts to approximately $27,500
($.70 per household per month x 3318 households x 12). SCORE Funds are
collected through taxes on refuse bills.

YEAR END FIGURES
Curbside: 1100.59 divided by 2958 = 37%
CITY OF HOPKINS
2000 MUNICIPAL RECYCLING FINAL REPORT
ADDENDUM
The City has determined that 60% of our residents live in multi - family housing units that are not
serviced by our curbside collection. When multi - family tonnage is excluded in our total waste
generation figure, our recycling percentage equals 37% .
Hopkins Waste Generation = 7394
60% multi - family waste generation = 4436
40% curbside residential waste generation = 2958
The Appliance, Electronic and Concrete /Brick tonnage listed under the drop -off on the
recycling report was added entirely to residential collection because they were collected at
our twice yearly bulk drop off which is offered only to residential refuse customers.
Otherwise the drop off tonnage was split 60% multi - family and 40% curbside.
