scheduled at least sixty (60) days ahead of the proposed date. District
acknowledges that Fort Worth contracts with other municipalities and that Fort

accept for proper transport back to the ECC. If more households arrive at the
event than Fort Worth can accept, District will in no event be entitled to any
damages or recovery of any costs, except as provided herein.

HEARING:
SUBJECT: Authorize Execution of Interlocal Agreements with Various Municipalities and Other
Governmental Entities for Participation in the Environmental Collection Center Household
Hazardous Waste Program (ALL COUNCIL DISTRICTS)
RECOMMENDATION:
It is recommended that the City Council authorize the execution of Interlocal Agreements with various
local municipalities and other governmental entities for their participation in the Environmental
Collection Center Household Hazardous Waste Program.
DISCUSSION:
The City's Environmental Collection Center is now in its 16th year of operation collecting household
hazardous waste from the residents of Fort Worth and surrounding communities on a year round
basis. In order for non-Fort Worth residents to participate at the center, each entity is required to
enter into an Interlocal Agreement with the City of Fort Worth.
The term for these Agreements will be for Fiscal Year 2014 (October 1, 2013 through September 30,
2014) with three one-year options to renew (through Fiscal Year 2017). Renewal may be effected by
written notification by the City Manager or his designated representative to the participating entity
within 30 days of the expiration of the prior term and does not require specific City Council
approval. The rate per household for the period covered by these Agreements is $47.00 per
household. It is anticipated that approximately $760,000.00 will be collected annually under these
Agreements. During Fiscal Year 2013, 46 entities signed participation Agreements with the City of
Fort Worth. For the upcoming year, it is expected that all of these entities will participate.
This Agreement outlines the responsibilities of each party, establishes the rate for participation,
details procedures for loan of mobile collection unit, and delineates the usage of service marked
public education materials. The City of Fort Worth is responsible for overall operation of the center
including contracting with a hazardous waste disposal company for transportation and disposal of
materials collected.
The following entities are expected to execute an Agreement to participate in Fiscal Year 2014:
Arlington Haslet Roanoke
Azle Hood County Saginaw
Bedford Hurst Sherman
Benbrook Johnson County Southlake
Burleson Joshua Stephenville
Cedar Hill Keller Tarrant County
Cleburne Kennedale Tarrant Regional Water District
Colleyville Lake Worth Trophy Club
