Recommendation: Staff recommends approval of a resolution authorizing the Solid Waste and Recycling Division to accept a recycling grant in the amount of $25,000 from the Arkansas Department of Environmental Quality distributed through the Boston Mountain Solid Waste District for purchasing recycling containers for collections with Fayetteville Schools. Background: Each year the Arkansas Department of Environmental Quality issues recycling grants through local Solid Waste Districts to help fund recycling programs. The Boston Mountain Solid Waste District compiles the grant applications and submits them to the Boston Mountain Solid Waste Board for approval at their August Board meetings. The City has benefited from these grants in the past. In 2008, the Solid Waste and Recycling Division applied for a non matching grant, approved through the staff review process, for $25,000 to purchase recycling containers for collections at Fayetteville Schools. The ADEQ and the Boston Mountain Solid Waste District approved the grant which is now ready for distribution. Discussion: The grant will be used to purchase recycling containers for recycling collection at Fayetteville Schools. Fayetteville Schools have recently increased efforts to promote recycling in all District Schools and have instituted Green Teams to accomplish these goals. Staff has worked with many schools providing recycling igloos for paper collection which will be replaced with these containers. The recycling igloos are over 10 years old and are breaking when serviced. The grant will save the City money by not spending budgeted Solid Waste funds on replacing the igloos. The program will utilize existing equipment and personnel within the commercial cardboard route to service these containers as recommended by the R.W. Beck recycling study. The main goal will to be to recycle more at each school while increasing the awareness of environmental stewardship to the students. Budget Impact: The recycling grant award is not a matching grant. A budget adjustment is included in this request to recognize the grant revenue and a capital project has been created. 1 of I 5/29/2009 3:55:58 PM RESOLUTION NO, A RESOLUTION AUTHORIZING THE FAYETTEVILLE SOLID WASTE & RECYCLING DIVISION TO ACCEPT AN ARKANSAS DEPARTMENT OF ENVIRONMENTAL QUALITY GRANT THROUGH BOSTON MOUNTAIN SOLID WASTE DISTRICT IN THE AMOUNT OF $25,000.00 TO FUND THE PURCHASE OF RECYCLING CONTAINERS FOR COLLECTION AT FAYETTEVILLE PUBLIC SCHOOLS; AND APPROVING A BUDGET ADJUSTMENT RECOGNIZING THE GRANT REVENUE.
