RESOLUTION NO. 90 -278
RESOLUTION AUTHORIZING MEMORANDUM OF UNDERSTANDING WITH
BROWNING FERRIS INDUSTRIES
WHEREAS, on October 9, 1990, the Hennepin County Board
adopted Resolution 90 -10 -869, which sets forth municipal
requirements to collect all plastic bottles by the spring of
1991; and
WHEREAS, the 1991 Hennepin County Funding Policy
further requires municipal curbside recycling programs to include
the collection of corrugated cardboard in order to receive County
funding reimbursement; and
WHEREAS, the Hennepin Recycling Group Board must
negotiate a Memorandum of Understanding to expand the existing
curbside program to include the collection of other materials;
and
WHEREAS, Hennepin County staff members were invited to
attend Hennepin Recycling Group negotiation meetings with
Browning Ferris Industries, but chose not to attend meetings, so
HRG staff involved County staff in negotiations with BFI by
telephone and facsimile communications; and
WHEREAS, the HRG Board has found the increase in price
per Certified Dwelling Unit (CDU) per month requested by BFI to
be justified.
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED that the City of
Brooklyn Center approves the Memorandum of Understanding with
BFI, allowing a $0.45 per month increase in the price per CDU,
and directs staff to proceed with expanding the curbside service
according to the time schedules set forth in the Memorandum of
Understanding under the condition that Hennepin County staff
agrees that the increased cost per CDU is authorized for 1991
County Funding Reimbursement.
