OJHKOJH ON THE WATER 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. Approved: Mark\A.
