MEMORANDUM
TO: Honorable Mayor and Members of the Common Council
FROM: David C. Patek, Director of Public Works bLp
DATE: June 21, 2012
RE: 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 for all municipalities
involved with their program. The communities of Winnebago County are asked every year to decide how to
handle this revenue. Winnebago County is requesting that this revenue be returned to the communities except
for$171,470, which is needed to cover the budget deficit for the Solid Waste Management Board.
ANALYSIS
Winnebago County has a budget deficit because of a $324,199 debt service charge for construction of the Tri-
County Single Stream Recycling facility. If the participating municipalities don't cover this budget deficit with
funding from the commodity revenue, Winnebago County will need to raise their tipping fee to cover their
expenses.
FISCAL IMPACT
The 2012 budget anticipated a $100,000 reimbursement for recycling surplus revenue. After the $171,470
expense is allocated to all communities, Winnebago County calculated the actual revenue payment for the City
of Oshkosh to be $284,064.89 for 2012.
RECOMMENDATIONS
Staff recommends approval of the resolution per the recommendation from Winnebago County to accept the
surplus revenue except for$171,470.
