The remaining funds are raised through the City Recycling <br /> Service Charge, collected by Ramsey County through the property tax system,this amount is <br /> approximately$168,200.00. Staff anticipates that the City will receive$44,454.00 which is the same <br /> amount as 2012. <br /> For 2013 Ramsey County requires New Brighton to submit a signed work plan as part of the SCORE <br /> grant application. This work plan identifies different strategies and requirements Ramsey County wants <br /> New Brighton staff to execute as part of the Ramsey County 2030 Solid Waste Master Plan. The goal of <br /> the master plan is to decrease the total amount of solid waste sent to landfills. Staff believes the work <br /> plan items are achievable. A memo explaining the work plan tasks, and the work plan is attached for <br /> review. <br /> Due to increased requests from residents and a requirement in the Ramsey County work plan to provide <br /> for bulky item disposal options,an additional fall clean-up day will be added in 2013. The 2013 recycling <br /> service charge will be increased from $28.00 to $30.00 to pay for the costs of this service. Approximately <br /> 6,008 homes in New Brighton are assessed the recycling service charge. <br /> Joseph Hatch <br /> Code Enforcement Officer <br /> H:\Recycling info\SCORE grants\2013 SCORE Grant\2013 SCORE grant council report doc <br />
