RECOMMENDATION: Staff recommends approving a resolution authorizing the acceptance of a 2015 Boston Mountain Recycling Grant for $8,000 for Public Space Recycling Containers and approving a budget adjustment to accept the funds and allocate them into a capital project. The Legistar number for applying for this grant is 2015-0344 which was a non -agenda item asking for the Mayor's signature. BACKGROUND: The Arkansas Department of Environmental Quality receives money generated from fees collected at landfills and distributes funds back to the regional solid waste districts to fund recycling grants. The Boston Mountain Solid Waste District issues recycling grants through approval of the Boston Mountain Solid Waste Board and the City has benefited from these grants in the past. The Boston Mountain Solid Waste District compiled the grant pre applications and approved them at the August Board meeting. ADEQ has released the grant funds to Boston Mountain and is now ready to disburse funds. DISCUSSION: This grant will be used to purchase public space recycling containers for use in public areas and city parks. There are currently 50 recycling containers placed in service in City parks and the new parking deck. The Recycling and Trash Collection Division has been working with the Parks and Recreation Division to identify other areas in Fayetteville that can utilize the recycling containers. The recycling containers utilize icons and graphics in addition to descriptions focusing on bottles and cans for recycling and the bags are picked up by the Parks and Parking Management staff and delivered to the recycling center where they are sorted and recycled. BUDGETIMPACT The recycling grant award is not a matching grant, so no City funds are obligated with this request. Funds are needed to cover freight and taxes as grant funds cannot be used for those expenses. There is sufficient funding in 5500.5060.5225.00, Recycling Containers, to cover this expense. The budget adjustment is attached to recognize the grant revenue and add it to the Recycling Container ADEQ Grant budget.
