MEETING OF NOVEMBER 17TH, 2015
To: Fayetteville City Council
CITY COUNCIL AGENDA MEMO
Thru: Jeff Coles, Recycling and Trash Collections Director
From: Brian Pugh, Waste Reduction Coordinator
Date: October 30th, 2015
SUBJECT: Approve a resolution authorizing the acceptance of 2015 Boston Mountain Recycling Grant
for $8,000 for Public Space Recycling Containers and approving a budget adjustment.
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.
