Agenda Text
The Board is requested to authorize the County Manager to increase funding for the interlocal agreement with the City of Durham in the amount of $35,000, for a total amount of $210,000 for the City to provide recycling processing and hauling services to Durham County for target recycling materials.
This request will not amend the interlocal agreement with the City of Durham. All the terms and tonnage fees shall remain unchanged as approved by the Board of County Commissioners on September 23, 2019 and by the Durham City Council on August 19, 2019.
Due to larger than expected recycling tonnage from our convenience sites, the additional amount of $35,000 will be needed for the current 2019-2020 fiscal year. Funding for this request will come from Solid Waste's contracted services line.
Alignment with Strategic Plan: Durham County Government is responsible for providing solid waste services to unincorporated residents in Durham County which includes curbside recycling, litter control and abatement, and the management of residential convenience sites. These responsibilities align with Strategic Plan Goal 4: Environmental Stewardship and Goal 5: Accountable, Efficient and Visionary Government.
Resource Persons: Motiryo Keambiroiro, Director of General Services, Chrissie Koroivui, Solid Waste Program Manager, Darius Allen, Waste Reduction Supervisor.
