Title

Consider a resolution authorizing the Mayor to execute an Interlocal Agreement for Participation in the City of Round Rock's Household Hazardous Waste Program with Fern Bluff Municipal Utility District.

Body

The City currently provides a Household Hazardous Waste (HHW) Collection Program for residents of the City.  This program allows for monthly scheduled collection events on the first Wednesday of each month and on a Saturday in April and October of each year.  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 March 2016, 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 a City HHW collection event.  Upon presentation of a valid voucher at a City HHW collection event, 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 distribution of the vouchers to the residents of the MUD 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.

This current contract was for five years; however, it expires on March 24th of this year. The City and Fern Bluff MUD would like to extend the contract for an additional 5 year term. Fern Bluff MUD has provided feedback on this program and is very appreciative to the City for providing this service to them.
