To: Mayor Fasbender & City Council Members
From: Paige Marschall Bigler, Recreation Programming Specialist and Violet Penman, Solid Waste &
Recycling Coordinator
Date: December 15, 2025
Item: Dakota County Community Waste Abatement Grant Program
Council Action Requested: It is recommended that the City Council authorize the submittal of the 2026
Dakota County Community Waste Abatement Grant Program Agreement.
Background Information: Each year the City receives funding from Dakota County to assist with the
promotion, activities and administration of the Community Waste Abatement Grant Program, formerly
known as the Community Funding Grant and JPA. Currently, the administration of this program rests
with Violet Penman, who is an employee of Rosemount working to administer the program to the cities
of Hastings, Farmington, and Rosemount. Program funding is used to support a broad scope of waste
and recycling activities including paper shredding events, the pumpkin collection, swaps, holiday light
collections, etc.
Financial Impact: The total expected grant dollars for reimbursement is $121,778.00 in 2026, which
accounts for funding allocated to the cities of Hastings ($33,538.00), Farmington ($32,624.00), and
Rosemount ($55,616.00). The City of Rosemount shall act as the fiscal agent for the Cities and is
authorized to pay program expenses and receive reimbursements. Thus, the City of Hastings will have
minimal interaction with program expenses and reimbursements. Dakota County requires two reports
and reimbursement requests in July 2026 and January 2027.
