WORKSHOP ITEMS - NO ACTION WAS TAKEN
Department of Ecology 2017-2019 Recycle Grant Agreement
Kris Wallace reviewed the proposed grant from the Department of Ecology for the amount
of $11,972.00, with a $2,993.00 match obligation by the City, in order to continue to fund the
City's refuse and recycling program for fiscal years 2017-2019. The City has been receiving
a Solid Waste Grant (formerly called "CPG") from the Department of Ecology for over 12
years; this grant is used to fund the City's refuse and recycling program. The refuse and
recycling program provides valuable information and outreach to Arlington's citizens,
business, industries, and schools about efficient and cost effective waste management
practices - all of which not only reduce waste tonnage sent to landfills but reduces waste
disposal costs for citizens, business and schools. This current grant provides funding for the
fiscal years 2017-2019 however due to the grants coming out late, Arlington will only use
the funds in 2018-2019. Discussion followed.
