Title
Consider and take action on a resolution authorizing a grant agreement with the Houston-Galveston Area Council for funds to hold a Household Hazardous Waste event (Director of Communications)
Background:
Approval of this resolution will allow the City of League City to partner with the City of Dickinson to receive grant funds from Houston-Galveston Area Council (H-GAC) to host a Household Hazardous Waste event. Tentative date and location for the event April 22, 2017 at the Gulf Greyhound Park in La Marque, Texas.
League City, Dickinson and Galveston County currently do not not have a way for their citizens to safely dispose of Household Hazardous Waste. The closest location is the Stella Roberts Recycling Center located in Pearland which is approximately 18 miles from League City. The city plans to partner with Dickinson to provide a Galveston County wide event for citizens to properly dispose of their household hazardous waste.
The initial presentation for the grant application took place on October 12, 2015 at Council Work Session when council agreed to apply for the project. The grant application was submitted and partial funding was granted to League City for fiscal year 2017.
Expenses for the event would primarily consist of a contract with Stericycle (approximately $120,112) of which H-GAC will contribute $87,522.25 and Republic Waste Services will cover the remaining $32,589.75. League City was originally awarded $83,522.25 and Republic Waste Services had agreed to cover $36,589.75. (See attachment Republic Agreement)
