Luedke, City Clerk Agenda Page 19 Mayor and Council Request for Action November 17, 2025 SUBJECT: PUBLIC WORKS – MEMORANDUM OF UNDERSTANDING FOR RESIDENTIAL BRUSH CHIPPING COMPOST PROCESS PROGRAM RECOMMENDATION: It is respectfully requested that the Mayor and City Council consider the following: MOTION TO: Approve the Memorandum of Understanding between Wright County and the City of Albertville for a partnership program to assist with residential brush chipping and compost processing. BACKGROUND: Wright County owns and operates specialized brush chipping equipment and proposes to partner with cities within Wright County to establish a more cost-effective program for residential brush chipping and compost processing for County residents. Under the proposed agreement, the partnership would remain effective for five (5) years, concluding on December 31, 2031 with the option to extended the agreement for an additional five (5) year if both parties agree. Currently, the City uses contracts its chipping and screening of material at the compost site. This MOU would provide the City with an additional option for these services, which could be significantly less than a contract provider. KEY ISSUES: • Wright County owns specialized equipment for brush chipping and proposes to partner with Wright County cities for a more cost-effective program. • The proposed agreement would be in effect until December 31, 2031 with the option to renew if both parties agree. • The County will invoice the City based on the pricing structure provided in the agreement. • The service would be available between April 15 and November 15 of each contract year. • The MOU does not obligate the City use to the County for chipping. POLICY CONSIDERATIONS: It is City policy for Council to review and approve all service agreements. FINANCIAL CONSIDERATIONS: The City would be invoiced per use according to the pricing structure provided in the agreement. Currently, the City is cost-sharing its compost site expenses with the City of Otsego. The MOU option would likely reduce chipping and screening costs for both cities. LEGAL CONSIDERATIONS: The Mayor and Council have the authority to approve agreements for the City.
