CHANDLER <br />COUNTY ADMINISTRATOR. <br />THRU: TEDIRECTOR OF UTIL RVICES <br />FROM: RONALD R. BROOKS, MANAGER <br />SOLID WASTE DISPOSAL DISTRICT <br />SUBJECT: SOLID WASTE MANAGEMENT GRANTS PROGRAM <br />BACKGROUND <br />Along with the various legislative mandates regarding solid waste <br />management, Grant funds have also been made available to the <br />Counties for initiating various aspects of the required solid <br />waste management practices. Currently existing Grants are <br />available for establishing oil recycling centers and educating <br />the public on recycling of recoverable materials in the County's <br />solid waste stream. <br />It is anticipated that additional grants may be provided as well. <br />ANALYSIS <br />Inasmuch as the County has assumed the responsibility for management <br />and disposal of the solid waste stream within the municipalities <br />and unincorporated areas of the County, it is essential that the <br />Solid Waste Disposal District take advantage of any Grant funds made <br />available' to the County for solid waste management. Such grant <br />programs normally require a resolution executed by the Board of <br />County Commissioners that authorizes the Solid Waste District to <br />apply for and obtain such grants. <br />RECOMMENDATION <br />It is recommended that the attached resolution authorizing the <br />Solid Waste Disposal District to apply for available Grant funds <br />associated with Solid Waste management be approved by the Board <br />for execution by the Chairman of the Board. <br />46 <br />
