LOG NAME: 52DOS NO 4
REFERENCE NO.: **G-16291
SUBJECT:
Authorize the Transfer of Funds for the Siting and
Appropriation Ordinance
Construction of Drop-Off Station No. 4 and Adopt
RECOMMENDATION:
It is recommended that the City Council:
1. Authorize the transfer of $1,600,000.00 from the Solid Waste Fiscal Year 2007-2008 Operating Budget to
the Solid Waste Capital Improvements Fund; and
2. Adopt the attached appropriation ordinance increasing estimated receipts and appropriations in the Solid
Waste Capital Improvements Fund by $1,600,000.00 from available funds.
DISCUSSION:
As part of the new Solid Waste Services Program, citizen drop-off stations were proposed as a means for
citizens to dispose of and recycle various types of non-hazardous household solid waste material. This will
help to divert potential recyclables away from the landfill, provide the citizens with a convenient means of
keeping their properties clean, thereby prolonging the life of the landfill, and help the City Council achieve
the strategic goal of having a cleaner and more attractive City. The stations will be constructed in strategic
locations to accommodate all areas of the City.
The City has constructed two permanent facilities: Drop-off Station No. 1, located at 2400 Brennan Avenue,
and Drop-off Station No. 2, located at 5150 Martin Luther King Freeway. A third permanent facility is
currently under design for construction with a temporary site available for citizen use at 6260 Old Hemphill
Road.
The Fiscal Year 2007-2008 budget included funding for a fourth drop-off station. Staff continues to research
possible sites for a fourth drop-off station in west or far north Fort Worth. Funding for this location was
included in the Fiscal Year 2007-2008 adopted budget. Environmental Management seeks authorization
from City Council to transfer $1,600,000.00 from the Solid Waste Fund to the Solid Waste Capital
Improvements Fund.
FISCAL INFORMATION/CERTIFICATION:
The Financial Management Services Director certifies that, upon approval of the above recommendation,
funds will be available in the current capital budget, as appropriated, of the Solid Waste Capital
Improvements Fund.
