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 $140,000, for a total amount of $350,000 for the City to provide recycling processing and hauling services to Durham County for target recycling materials.
When the Funds Reservation was set for FY21, it was not known how high the new rate would fluctuate, so the funds reservation was kept at the previous year's amount of $210,000. Based on the information we have gathered during the first six months of this fiscal year, we have determined that we will need additional $140,000 to continue processing recyclables for the remainder of FY21.
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 May 26, 2020.
Based on analysis of the first six months under a new variable fee structure, staff have determined that an additional $140,000 will be needed for the current 2020-2021 fiscal year. Funding for this request will come from Solid Waste's contracted services fund.
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. (brief statement and relevant goal)
