Subject:
Recycling Grant for Spring Clean Up Day
Policy/Action Requested:
Approve sub-grant program participation and funding.
Recommendation:
Staff recommends approval as in past sub-grant program participation and funding.
Discussion:

Scott County offers an annual sub-grant for recycling through the Minnesota Pollution Control Agency (MPCA) Environmental Assistance Local Recycling Development Grant (LRDG).

 

Cities and townships who provide a clean up event for their residents are eligible to participate.  The amount of funding is based on demonstrated need and population. Shakopee has participated in this program for at least 23 years.

 

Upon approving the sub-grant participation and funding, two copies of a "Recycling Program Agreement" will follow, each requiring execution.  Last year's agreement is attached for reference.

Budget Impact:
Funding in the amount of $10,701.12 is available to the City of Shakopee to assist with its April 29, 2017 Clean Up Day event expenses.  This amount includes $699.62 for Louisville and Jackson Township residents participation in the event, as well as $500.00 for document shredding service which is new for this year.
