RECOMMENDATION(S):
Recommendation
That the Board of Supervisors adopt the following supplemental budget for fiscal year (FY) 2018-19 (4/5 vote required) Revenue: 1100438-661089 Solid Waste Reimbursement for Contract $20,000 Expenditure: 1100438-8989 Equipment-Miscellaneous $20,000.
Body
SOURCE OF FUNDING:
Solid Waste Disposal 1100438
DISCUSSION:
Solid Waste Disposal has been on a replacement plan for two (2) container site bins to be replaced every two (2) years with our contractors, Humboldt Sanitation and up until last year, Eel River Disposal. Recology purchased Eel River Disposal in FY 17-18 and the replacement bins for the former Eel River sites did not occur. To get back on track with the replacement plan, Solid Waste will replace bins for both Recology and Humboldt Sanitation in FY 18-19.
FINANCIAL IMPACT:
The cost to replace the bins is estimated to be $36,000. Solid Waste originally anticipated in the adopted budget the estimated cost of $16,500, which is below the quotes received to date. Accordingly, a supplemental budget of $20,000 is required. Revenue for the replacement of the bins is available through contracted reimbursement rates.
This item conforms to the Board of Supervisors’ Core Roles of providing for and maintaining county infrastructure.
OTHER AGENCY INVOLVEMENT:
None
ALTERNATIVES TO STAFF RECOMMENDATIONS:
Your Board could choose to not approve the supplemental budget request; however, this is not recommended as it would reduce safely disposing of solid waste.
