I. RECOMMENDATION:
This item was requested as a Future Agenda Item by Councilman Adkisson.
II. BACKGROUND:
Mid Valley Disposal and the City of Coalinga sponsor one annual spring clean up event (generally held in May) and one annual fall clean up event (generally held in November) for all residences in Coalinga City limits. During these events, community members are able to dispose of green waste, metal, miscellaneous items, e-waste and appliances at Mid Valley Disposal. Tires are accepted at an extra charge.
Items not accepted are oil, cement or concrete, chemicals, paints, solvents, herbicides, pesticides, fluorescent bulbs and tubes, car batteries and home batteries.
III. DISCUSSION:
Councilman Adkisson is requesting an annual City sponsored clean up event for non-profit organizations based within Coalinga City limits.
Proposed Program:
Non-Profit Organizations based within the City of Coalinga, with current non-profit status and a current City of Coalinga Business License, will contact Senior Administrative Analyst Mercedes Garcia during the month of February to request a voucher for dump fees at Mid Valley Disposal.
Each non-profit organization would be eligible for a voucher for the City to cover dump fees up to $1,000 per physical site in Coalinga.
The City would then coordinate with Mid Valley Disposal to cover the dump fees for the vouchers issued.
Vouchers would be valid beginning the date issued and expire March 31 of the year of issuance.
Items accepted would be green waste, metal, miscellaneous items, e-waste, appliances and tires.
IV. ALTERNATIVES:
1. Do not approve;
2. Approve one time but not as an ongoing, annual program.
V. FISCAL IMPACT:
Based on the number of non-profit organizations within the City of Coalinga with City business licenses, the fiscal impact may be up to $24,000 per fiscal year which is unbudgeted and would come from the City's General Fund. |
