APPLICATION FOR COMMUNITY LANDFILL ABATEMENT
Mr. Grawe said since 2003 the Cities of Apple Valley, Burnsville, and Eagan have jointly
contracted with Dakota Valley Recycling and have received funding from Dakota County to
promote and operate landfill abatement programs. Presented this evening is the 2011 Large
Community Funding Application to Dakota County to support the joint recycling program for the
Cities of Apple Valley, Eagan, and Burnsville, in the amount of $156,500.00. There is also a
special allocation for a local initiative. As a result of the Better Energy (BE) Program, businesses
identified areas where they believed education on recycling and energy efficiency would be of use
to them. The proposal for the local negotiated initiative funding, in the amount of $14,675.00,
creates a program to help meet those needs.
Mayor Hamann- Roland said this is terrific program and thanked Mr. Grawe for bringing forth the
application. She stated a couple businesses have asked about cardboard recycling and inquired if
the local initiative might be able to help with that.
Mr. Grawe said there may be opportunities to help with cardboard recycling.
MOTION: of Bergman, seconded by LaComb, adopting Resolution No. 2010 -213 approving
submission of the Apple Valley, Burnsville, and Eagan joint 2011 landfill
abatement and recycling funding application, in the total amount of $171,175.00, to
Dakota County, and authorizing execution of the necessary documents.
Councilmember Grendahl if the services are equally divided amongst the three
communities.
Mr. Grawe responded that the services funded through the joint application are equally
shared. However, the City of Burnsville purchases additional service from Dakota Valley
Recycling as well.
Vote was taken on the motion. Ayes - 5 - Nays - 0.
