DISCUSSION: The City has been contracting with Tarrant County for the full-time equivalent of two deputy constables for enforcement of illegal dumping within the City of Fort Worth since October 1, 1995. The purpose of the program is to augment and enhance the City's efforts in enforcing Texas laws regarding the dumping of solid waste along streets, empty lots, and other areas within the City of Fort Worth that are not designed or permitted for the disposal of such waste. Enforcement efforts of the deputy constables are coordinated with the enforcement efforts of Code Compliance personnel. Although funded in the FY 1998-99 budget, and the County provided the service for which the City has made quarterly payments, the contract was inadvertently not brought to the City Council for renewal. Therefore, authorization is requested to execute contracts covering both FY 1997-98 and FY 1998-99. FISCAL INFORMATION/CERTIFICATION: The Finance Director certifies that funds are available in the 1998-99 operating budget, as appropriated, of the General Fund.
