TO: Honorable Mayor and Members of the Common Council
FROM: David C. Patek, Director of Public Works
DATE: June 8, 2011
SUBJECT: Approve Winnebago County Recycling Surplus Revenue Ballot
BACKGROUND
The City of Oshkosh has an agreement to deliver all recyclable materials (paper & containers)
to the Winnebago County Solid Waste Management Board. Winnebago County sells this
recyclable material. The communities of Winnebago County are asked every year to decide
how to handle this revenue. The options are to take a payment from Winnebago County or
leave this surplus revenue with Winnebago County to be used for stabilization of the tipping fee
for disposal of recyclable materials.
ANALYSIS
Winnebago County has indicated that many of the markets for recyclable material continue to
be strong. Winnebago County is recommending that communities receive a refund of their 2010
funds.
FISCAL IMPACT
The 2011 budget anticipated no reimbursement for recycling surplus revenue. We anticipate
receiving about $109,000 from the 2010 refund. This refund will help offset the WI -DNR
decision to reduce the 2011 Recycling Grants for Municipalities. The WI -DNR previously
notified the City of our grant reduction of $120,458.43 (35.3 %).
RECOMMENDATIONS
Staff recommends approval of the resolution per the recommendation from Winnebago County.
Respectfully Submitted,
