Subject: Sanitation Division Budget Transfer.
Background Summary:
The City has historically benefited from being able to take recyclable materials to the County at a zero
cost per ton tipping fee. Due to changes in the recycling market and expiration of various County
contracts, the County will begin charging a fee of $42.00 per ton July 1, 2017 to handle recyclable
materials. This increase in cost was not anticipated by County and is not reflected in the current City
budget for Sanitation landfill fees. To account for this unanticipated increase in costs while Public Works
researches the City's options for the disposition of recyclables, we are requesting Commission approval
to transfer unused capital funds within the Sanitation Division to the landfill account line. The 2016-2017
budget for the Sanitation Division included three (3) lease payments totaling $136,185.00 for
replacement Sanitation vehicles. Due to the timing of the financing, only one lease payment of
$39,805.64 will be made this fiscal year, leaving $96,379.36 available to be reallocated to the Landfill
account line. Public Works recommends approval of this transfer and the Department will present
recycling options to the Commission under a separate agenda item.
Issue:
Request the City Commission to transfer unused capital funds within the Sanitation Division budget to
address the unanticipated increase in recycling costs.
Recommendations
Recommend the City Commission approve the transfer within the Sanitation Division budget of
$96,379.36 from the Vehicles Capital Outlay account line 402-534-10-6401 to the Landfill Operating
Expenses account line 402-534-10-5500.
Attachments:
None.
Financial Impact:
The transfer will allow the City to adequately cover the unanticipated costs due to changes in the way the
County provides for the disposition of recyclable materials.
