BODY
SUBJECT/PROPOSAL/REQUEST: Extension of two agreements with RSWA to provide services to the County through June 30, 2016
ITEM TYPE: Consent Action Item
STAFF CONTACT(S): Walker, Foley, Graham, Davis, Shadman
PRESENTER (S): N/A
LEGAL REVIEW: Yes
REVIEWED BY: Thomas C. Foley
BACKGROUND: Over the past several years the County has explored alternatives regarding solid waste services in conjunction with its contractual relationship with the Rivanna Solid Waste Authority (RSWA). During this period the County has maintained service agreements with the RSWA for services at the Ivy Materials Utilization Center (MUC) and the McIntire Road Recycling Center (McIntire). These agreements expire on June 30, 2015. Because the County has not yet concluded its review of alternative solutions that may affect the local support agreements with the RSWA, extension of the agreements is necessary to extend the services currently provided through June 30, 2016. The attached agreement extensions (Attachments 1 and 2) were approved by the RSWA Board and are provided to the Board of Supervisors for its approval.
STRATEGIC PLAN: Critical Infrastructure: Prioritize, plan and invest in critical infrastructure that responds to past and future changes and improves the capacity to serve community needs
DISCUSSION: The Amendment No. 4 to Ivy Material Utilization Center Programs Agreement (Attachment 1) and the Amendment No. 4 to Local Government Support Agreement for Recycling Programs (Attachment 2) continue the current funding arrangement and services at MUC and McIntire from July 1, 2015 through June 30, 2016. The Ivy MUC amendment provides that the agreement will terminate prior to June 30, 2016 if required due to DEQ permit requirements. The need for this provision in the Ivy MUC amendment is explained in the attached memo from Tom Frederick to the RSWA Board (Attachment 3). Because the City is a party to the McIntire agreement, it will require City Council approval to be extended. City Council will consider this extension at one of its June meetings.
BUDGET IMPACT: The extension of these agreements is funded in the County's approved FY16 budget for RSWA programs and services.
RECOMMENDATION:
