Title
Consider a resolution authorizing the Mayor to execute an lnterlocal Agreement with Fern Bluff Municipal Utility District for participation in the City's Household Hazardous Waste Program.
Body
The City currently provides a Household Hazardous Waste (HHW) Collection Program for residents of the City. This program allows for HHW drop off Tuesday through Saturday from 12pm to 4pm. Each resident is allowed to bring a Residential Quantity which means no more than the equivalent of 25 gallons and/or 50 pounds of household hazardous materials and no container over five gallons in size.
In February 2021, the City executed a contract for HHW services with the Fern Bluff Municipal Utility District (MUD), which allowed for the issuance of up to 50 vouchers per month to the MUD for presentation at the City’s HHW collection facility. Upon presentation of a valid voucher, the City shall dispose of the resident's HHW. The City has the right to refuse any HHW that is presented by a resident of the MUD that does not have a valid voucher. Vouchers expire two years from issuance. The MUD is responsible for the distribution of the vouchers to the residents of the Participating Entity in such manner as the MUD determines appropriate. The City shall not provide vouchers to individual residents of the MUD and is not responsible for determining if a resident is entitled to possession of a voucher.
The current contract was for five years. The City and Fern Bluff MUD would like to extend the contract for an additional five year term. Fern Bluff MUD has provided feedback on this program and is very appreciative to the City for providing this service to them.
