Title
Expansion of the School District of Indian River County Recycling Program
Recommended Action
Staff recommends that the Solid Waste Disposal District (SWDD) Board consider and authorize the following: 1. Conceptually approve to provide 50% funding, which is estimated at $13,800, to cover half of the one-time costs for containers and materials for the remaining 16 public schools based on support from Dr. Mark Rendell, School District of Indian River County (SDIRC) Superintendent, for the expansion of the program; 2. Direct staff to work with Dr. Rendell to request a 50% funding match from SDIRC. Tentatively, this approval will be considered at the next SDIRC meeting on July 26, 2018; and, 3. Upon agreement by SDIRC, direct staff to work with the County Attorney’s office to prepare a cost sharing agreement to be approved first by SDIRC, and then by the SWDD Board at a future meeting as early as August 14, 2018.
