Request for Landfill Abatement Funds by the Boys and Girls
Club
The Boys and Girls Club of Elk River is requesting a $36,500 grant from the city to help
fund their Recycling/Environmental Program. The proposed source for this money is the
city's Landfill Abatement Funds.
The uses to which the city may devote its Landfill Abatement Funds are defined by State
Statute. If the state were to determine the city's use of these funds did not meet the
directives found in the Statute, the monies spent would be required to be replaced,
presumably from the general fund. Consequently, this makes staff very cautions with the use
of these funds.
The city awarded a similar grant to the Boys and Girls Club in 2001 and again in 2002.
Attached is a letter from Duane Howard, Executive Director of the Boys and Girls Club,
dated February 24, 2003. Included with Mr. Howard's letter is an accounting of how the
city's grant was used in 2002, which includes many worthwhile programs regarding recycling.
Mr. Howard also outlines a number of other environmental programs unrelated to landfill
abatement. Although wonderful programs, in staff's opinion they do not meet the definition
of landfill abatement and, therefore, do not qualify for the use of landfill abatement funds.
That said, staff feels there are enough components to their programs that do qualify as
landfill abatement to award their request, if the Council so chooses.
It should be noted that the original city grant was not necessarily meant to be ongoing
funding for the Boys and Girls Club. Circumstances regarding Landfill Abatement Funds
are subject to change and the city may not be in a posidon to keep awarding this grant.
Staff recommends the Elk River City Council award the Boys and Girls Club of Elk River a
grant in the amount of $36,500 to be used for the purposes of landfill abatement education
under the follow conditions:
The Boys and Girls Club provide a complete accounting of how the grant monies
were used in 2003 on or before January 31, 2004.
Any money not used for the purpose of landfill abatement education be paid back to
the city on or before January 31, 2004.

RE: Landfill Abatement Fund Request
Dear Ms. Johnson;
First, thank you for all your help and interest in the Boys and Girls Club of
Elk River. Environmental teaching and recycling has been an integral part
of our educational teaching at the Club. It has not only served as an
important knowledge base for our youth, but learning about these
environmental processes has been exciting as well. The Boys & Girls Club
of Elk River, respectfully request the funds granted by the City Council in
the amount of $36,500 to be used for our Recycling Environmental
Education Program from the Landfill Abatement Account.
The partnership with our Club on this portion of our programming budget is
a great support from the City. The collaboration is important to us, but it is
also a wonderful and positive effort in community relations between the
City, Club, and community entities. We serve over a 1000 members within
the Club, and we also serve over 1000 other youth in the community in
various capacities. Many community organizations use the facilities for
meetings and activities, as we try and build good public relations with
convenience in using the Club. Some of the environmental and educational
projects build a lot of needed confidence for kids. A few days ago a parent
told me that her teenager is somewhat handicapped - gets teased in school,
but when she comes to the Club, she is able to play and be active with all
ages, and she eagerly looks forward to each afternoon here. The Mom said
the Club has greatly enriched her child's hfe, and thus made life enjoyable
for the whole family.
Enclosed are procedural and specifics; if there is any further information
you need from our Club, please contact me at 763-241-5000. I will be
happy to gather any materials needed.
Sincerely,
Duane Howard - Executive Director

Environmental Programs and Hours of Service for 2002
Enclosed are budgets and accounting sheets that show details of the Club
Environmental Education. Jaydee Jones was hired as a full time
environmental specialist for 2002, but ended her employment before July 1.
Her salary paid was $13,884, but environmental activities continued with
new staff. My enclosed budget shows staff positions and their time with
environmental/recycling activities. Personally, I dedicate 5 percent of my
salary to environmental commitments (writing this grant is just one
example). I play an active part in the development of programs at the Club,
and I am quite qualified in education. I have graduate degrees in education,
and I also have a licensure in Science. I help our staff with a lot of ideas
and projects. Kate Johnson is another main educator in the environmental
areas. Although, Ms. Johnson is an excellent artist in the environmental
area, she also has other credentials and interests in recycling and
environmental issues. She belongs to the National Wildlife Federation as
well as other environmental committees. Jessi Peterson helps the total staff
with environmental teaching in both Elk river and Zimmerman. Our 2002
expenses in environmental education was $46,624.
We enjoy teaching about nature and environmental issues. Our staff
Computer specialist has kids taking older computers apart, then takes the
best from each to make workable computers. The unusable parts and old
computers are then recycled; the kids get to keep their newly created
computer!
We are also in the process of collecting discarded laser printer cartridges
and ink jet cartridges, and recycle them, which brings a bit of revenue.

Early Bird "walk around the park" 2-3 hours a week x 12 weeks
Members of the Early Bird Club would take nature walks around the park in
the morning. Members would observe nature, discuss the animals they saw
and pick up litter on the way.
Walking Club: 3 hours a week x 10 weeks
Members of the summer Walking Club met three times a week for 10 weeks
during the summer. Members kept track of their laps around the park and
weekly totals were charted. During the walk, members would observe and
discuss the weather, nature, and the animals that are in the park. While
walking on the trails, members would pick up litter and recycle it if possible
or throw it in the garbage.
Outdoor Clean-up 2-4 hours, Zimmerman Unit
Twice during the summer, members from the Zimmerman Unit participated
in an outdoor clean-up. Members picked up trash in the parking lot as well
as the fields near the Club. Staff facilitated this clean up and helped
members located the areas that needed their attention while stressing the
importance of recycling.
Cans for Kids (Sherburne county parade, Zimmerman fair)
Our Cans for Kids trailer collects aluminum cans for recycling year round.
The trailer's permanent home is in the parking lot at the Lion's Park Unit.
The trailer travels to different community events during the year. Last
summer it spent a weekend at the Zimmerman Wild West Days.
Zimmerman residents could throw their empty cans in the trailer while
walking around the fair. Club members walked along side the trailer during
the Sherburne County Parade. These types of community events help to
promote not only the Club, but also the importance of recycling to
thousands of community members.
Photography Club (nature photos, visit to a horse farm) 6-10 hours
One of the Club most popular programs last year was the Photography
Club. Members of this Club had the opportunity to walk around Elk River
and take photographs of various things, including flowers, plants, animals
and the river. Members of the Club took a trip to a farm to photograph
horses and other animals.

Dear Boys and Girls Club (Zimmerman Unit):
My name is Katie Wells and [ am a teacher at Zimme/-rnan Junior High.
just wanted to take a moment to say "thank you" for all you do in our
community.
Since you opened approximately a year and a half ago, [ hav~ heard nothing
but rave reviews from the students who are members. Many of them talk
about the fact you give them a safe place to be, and also about how much fun
they have.
[ run the After Class and Summer programs here in Zimmerman for
Conununity Education, and many of our clientele overlap - I am very grateful
(since our programs do not run every day after school) that my students have
such a wonderful place to spend their time.
[ also am grateful to you for partnering with our school to help with our
'homebound' students and their needs. This program would not have been
possible for several boys if it weren't for yoUr generosity in sharing your
facility with us.
Thank you for making such a big difference in our community and in so
many children's lives. You are appreciated!!
Sincerely,
Katie Wells

I just Wanted to say thank you
'.to; the people who brought the
· i" concept of a Boys and Girls Club
'. to Elk River. And then say an
'even bigger thank you'to all the
work with the kids and

willing to work with any kids,
some who are very difficult at
times, for only $15 a' year[
Parents can and do use this valu~
asset all year. I know it has
ters have gotten free tutoring for
school, they do work on the com-
puters, create fun art projects
from recycled things, do all sorts
of arts and crafts, learn about
other places in the world, play in
the gym and the game room.
They. can be social and learn
manners, hoW to be respectful,
and how to live life helping other
people.
The staff teach my kids to lis-
ten, to make good decision~, and
how to be productive. They go out
made me a better employee and help others in our communi-
plaeo, off tho streets, with lots of do know' I want my other kids to
~.flfings for kids~to_do. My daugh- be .able-to use this dub when
they get old enough. I know I
hope other people in the commu-
nity support the club and know
how great it is. Not very many
communities have this to give
their kids. We do.
My oldest daughter looks for-
ward to telling one of the staff
· who ask every day, 'Wv'hat was
,the best thing that happened to
you today?" This staff makes m~
child name a positive every day!
I ask all of you in our communi-

I thank the staff and give them
a huge pat on the back. They

need help! Citizens of our com-
' munity often tell us how impor-

sort of program in place to help
the animals, yet finding anyone
willing to help is almost impossi-
ble!
We have been told by very large
and successful companies that
they help too many groups now
and don't want to "overwhelm"
their customers with too many
donation bins, or that they make
money from their damaged goods
and aren't willing to donate

themselves on being a burliness

we have been turned down. Why?
People say advertise more so peo-
ple know there is a pet rescue in
their area. How can we when we
can't get any support from large
businesses? I wonder how many
of these companies' employees or
managers have themselves sur-
rendered an animal, have adopt-
ed a pet, or have complained
about the stray dogs and' feral
cats roaming their neighbor-
hoods. -- Terresa Slusher,

our community is known to
have outstanding support for'
organizations that help local citi-

Our area is not directly served
by a humane society or animal

have been formed over the years
to take in unclaimed animals
and give them a chance at a lov-

lack of community support.

December 7~ 2002 Holiday Christmas Wraooing
A new shopping area in Coon Rapids approached the Club and offered us a chance
to set up a table and wrap gifts for donations and hand out information on our
Club at the same time.
Jessi spent two hours at the table and did not wrap any gifts. Peg spent the
remainder of the day at the table and wrap very few items but spent a great deal of
time giving information about the Club and what we do to both individual and
business shoppers.
There was no revenue from the event but there was a lot of PR for the day. It may
bring revenue in the future. I[ also allowed us to make another connection with a
store in the Albertville Mall. Time will tell if it paid off.
December l0t 2002 Memo~ Book/Memorial Gifts
Doris & Dan Anderson gave the Club a gift in honor of some people that have died.
They requested we start, a memory book and keep it in the Club as well as sending
a notice to the families that the gifts were given in their loved ones names.
Peg is taking care of putting this book together and sending out special cards to
notify families. She will also send information to the newspaper about it and see if
it can be better known in the community as an option for [he holiday season.
December 10, 2002 Sponsor-a-Kid Tally $29.541.12
Our total aL [his point shows us at about 'a to our goal of $60,000. There is still
time to send out informaL/on on this fund drive. There still may be businesses in
outer areas-Ramsey, Anoka, Coon Rapids, Big Lake, etc. that Board members have
connections to that have not been contacted. Please let Peg know if there is some
other contacts for [he fund drive.
Duane is working on a holiday mailing to send out, to parents for [he Sponsor-a-Kid
drive. There may be a good response that comes in from that letter. Again, time will
tell.
December 10, 2002 Grant tally $161.650.00
This is the total revenue brought in this year from grants submitted. There are still
a few grants out there that are pending. As information is received on those grants,
we will continue to give updates.
Special Events update
November 20. 2002 Chamber after Hours
The Club hosted Chamber after Hours-a gathering of business people at, a local
business to do some networking and PR. Approximately 57 people at[ended [he
event. -
Don Carlson from Coborn's lined up food and drinks for the event. There were some
door prizes offered.
This was not an event to bring revenue in to the Club but it was for networking and
putting our information out into the community.
Many new contacts were made. Annual reports were given out as well as program
overviews for the year. There were many new people in the Club getting tours and
learning about what we do.
December 4, 2002 A Taste of the Holidays $9,178.79
There is approximately $100 still due on silent auction items
We had 103 people attend the event this year. We sold 7 corporate tables and 14
individual tickets. The silent auction brought in about $3,800. Ticket sales brought
in about $5,320.
People seemed much more relaxed this year. They spent more time out in the silent
auction area and more time up and moving around rather than sitting in one place.
Parking was still a bit of a problem but it was an improvement over last year.
December 6~ 2002 Holiday Home Tour
This money will be delivered to us next week.
