E. Resolution authorizing SD DENR grant/loan application for curbside
recycling equipment
Bob Iverson, Solid Waste Director, reported that the curbside recycling
program equipment consists of a pickup and a compartment trailer for
curb sorting of recycling materials. Bob stated that the trailer
compartments can be emptied at the recycling center by hydraulic
controls. Bob noted that the current trailer was purchased in 2009 when
the program started and has had major repairs to the frame and axle.
Bob noted that the hydraulics are also getting weak. Bob stated that the
replacement of the trailer was included in the 2018 budget and the
resolution is to apply for a $20,000 grant/loan and use $2,800 of local
funds to fund the purchase. Bob stated that we are hoping for a 50%
grant and a 50% five-year loan at 2.25% interest. Bob stated that the
grant application is due by October 1, 2017 for consideration later this
year and funds would be available after the first of the year.
Discussion followed.

RESOLUTION AUTHORIZING THE SUBMISSION OF A
SD DENR GRANT/LOAN APPLICATION FOR
CURBSIDE RECYCLING EQUIPMENT
WHEREAS, the City of Vermillion owns and operates the Vermillion
Landfill and the Missouri Valley Recycling Center in a Joint Powers
agreement with Clay County, Yankton County and the City of Yankton, and;
29
WHEREAS, the City of Vermillion implemented a curbside recycling
program, outside the Joint Powers operations, in 2009 in an effort to
increase participation in recycling and improve recycling service for
the residents of Vermillion, and;
WHEREAS, curbside recycling has demonstrated on a nationally basis that
this type of service increases participation in recycling, and;
WHEREAS, additional curbside recycling participation will increase
revenues received from the sale of recycled materials, reduce the
burying of recyclable materials at the Vermillion Landfill and extend
the life of the landfill, and;
WHEREAS, the curbside collection trailer is reaching the end of its
useful life for daily collection service requiring increased repair
costs, and
WHEREAS, a new curbside recycling trailer is estimated to cost
approximately $22,800.
NOW THEREFORE BE IT RESOLVED that an application requesting grant and
loan funds for a total project of no less than $20,000, with a local
match from the Curbside Collection fund of $2,800, be submitted to the
South Dakota Department of Environment and Natural Resources Solid Waste
Assistance Fund for the required equipment and the Mayor be authorized
to execute the application on behalf of the City of Vermillion.
Dated at Vermillion, South Dakota this 18th day of September, 2017.
