SUBJECT:
CONSIDER USE OF LANDFILL
ABATEMENT FUNDS FOR BOYS &
GIRLS CLUB ENVIRONMENTAL
COORDINATOR
The City of Elk River approved the expenditure of landfill abatement fund at the Boys
and Girls Club under the condition that these funds were not just to buy recycled
products, but that the Club would be used as a recycling educational tool. To follow
through on this condition, the Boys and Girls Club hired Jaydee Jones as an
environmental staff person last year.
Sherbume County considered this position as an appropriate use of landfill abatement
monies and gave the Boys and Girls Club SCORE funds to cover Jaydee's salary. With
limited SCORE funds available and numerous projects, the County is not able to continue
to help with Ms. Jones salary.
Attached to this memo is a letter, dated April 4, 2001, from John Fitzgerald of the Boys
and Girls Club requesting landfill abatement funds from the city to aid with their
environmental staff position. This position is currently 3/4 time. John is requesting
$15,000 from the city or approximately '/2 of the cost of the position (see attached 2001
Environmental Budget Three-Quarter-Time).
Staff asked Mr. Fitzgerald to also include a budget for this position as a full time
employee (see attached). There are a number of recycling education efforts that the city
could be doing that are missed due to a lack of staff time such as: newsletter articles,
business recycling and recycling education in schools.
Staff is proposing that the city fund (using landfill abatement monies) the Boys and
Girls Club originally request of $15,000 and also the projected $13,500 increase to
their budget to have the environmental staff person position become full time, which
comes to a total of $28,500. Staff recommends this expenditure be conditioned on
the position averaging 10 hours a week on city requested projects and reporting its
activities to the city to make sure it complies with State Statute regarding the use of
landfill abatement funds. '

Recycling education is a legally appropriate use of landfill abatement funds and this is a
good opportunity for the city to do more for recycling without adding another city
employee. I have meet with Jaydee Jones and ! feel she will do a good job. Her resume
is attached. There is the possibility that an environmental assistant position with the city
will be refilled next year. This position could perform the tasks that will be asked of Ms.
Jones. Future funding of the Boys and Girls Club's environmental position will need to I

RE: Landfill abatement Monies
Dear City Council;
As you are aware, the Boys & Gids Club of Elk River started.
programming in the new facility in November of 1999. As part of that
program, starting the first part of 2000, we received a SCORE Gran. t
from Sherbume County to hire a three-quarter-time environment staff
member to teach recycling and environmental issues, i
Over the course of 2000 we found this to be an innovative a ~d
inspiring program for the youth of this community. We are lucky to
have an excellent staff person by the name of Jaydee Jones filling
this position. She has created a multitude of programs here at the
Club and in the community, and has opened the eyes of many
children (and adults) as to the need and necessity of being
environmentally friendly.
We would like very much to ensure this worthwhile program
continues, so we are asking that the City of Elk River assist us with
Landfill Abatement funds and sponsor half of our environment
program in the amount of $15,000.00.
I have attached a copy of Jaydee's Resume so you can see;
the quality of this staff person and a copy of our 2000 budget for this
program.
We wish, once again, to thank the City of Elk River for all of its
help in making this Boys & Gids Club a reality and hope that you w{ll
consider this present grant request.
