DISCUSSION: The City began operating two temporary dropWoff stations at 2400 Brennan Avenue and 3224 Yuma an March 31, 2003. Two permanent facilities, Brennan (2400 Brennan Avenue) and Southeast (5950 Martin Luther King Freeway) were authorized by City Council on December 16, 2003. The FY 2005-06 Solid Waste Enterprise Fund adopted budget provides funding for the operation of two drop-off stations. With the opening of the two permanent sites at Brennan Service Center (September 2005) and Southeast Service Center (December 2005), the temporary site at Yuma was originally scheduled to close in December 2005 but the close date was extended to April 1, 2006. The Environmental Management Department has posted banners, handed out flyers and given directions via the telephone to the new permanent facility at 5150 Martin Luther King Freeway which is approximately four miles from the temporary facility on Yuma. Despite these efforts, 3,961 households continued to use the temporary facility during the month of February while 1,6"13 elected to use the new permanent facility. The Environmental Management Department has been requested to allow residents an additional ninety days to become aware of and transition to using the new facility. The Environmental Management Department estimates that it will cost $84,000 per month or $252,000 through the remainder of this fiscal year to keep the temporary Yuma facility operational. This will cover the cost of operations and the addition of five overage positions. The use of these funds constitutes a loan from the General Fund. Upon adoption of the 2006-07 budget, and approval of the Solid Waste Fund fee schedule, the General Fund will be reimbursed for $252,000. The Yuma Drnp Off Center is located in COUNCIL DISTRICT 8.
