The purpose of this action item is to approve the 2021 Contract Amendment for <br />Residential Recycling Grant. <br /> <br />2. Background. Hennepin County receives annual funding from the state’s Select Committee on <br />Recycling and the Environment (SCORE) fund and distributes 100% of this money to cities in <br />accordance with the county’s funding policy. Grants are awarded based on the number of <br />households with curbside recycling service and the number of households signed up for and <br />receiving curbside organics recycling. The City’s recycling program must meet several basic <br />requirements to receive funding, including standard materials accepted, partnership on education <br />and outreach, reporting, and program performance. <br /> <br />The county’s current residential recycling grant agreement with Orono expires at the end of this <br />year. The attached amendment extends the contract for one year, through the end of 2021, with <br />the allocation of funds in 2021 using the same formula as 2020. <br /> <br />3. Staff Recommendation.
