Body
DATE: March 19, 2024
TO: Kent Cagle, City Manager
FROM: Steve Kana, Interim Executive Director of Public Works
SUBJECT: Interlocal Agreement with CTCOG for Household Hazardous Waste Event
BACKGROUND AND FINDINGS:
The City of Killeen Recycling Operations Division hosts annual Household Hazardous Waste (HHW) events to provide residents a safe and legal means to dispose of a variety of caustic, corrosive, poisonous, and toxic materials commonly used in the home. These events help protect our surface and underground water sources, provide for the recycling or reuse of certain potentially hazardous materials, and protect solid waste workers and equipment. Funding from the Central Texas Council of Governments (CTCOG) for the May 4, 2024, event will allow the citizens from the seven county CTCOG region to participate.
The City of Killeen has a history of hosting HHW events going back more than a dozen years. Some events have been sponsored by CTCOG with funds received from the Texas Commission on Environmental Quality and some sponsored solely by the City of Killeen.
As the City and much of the CTCOG region share a common watershed, it is desired that all CTCOG region residents be able to participate in the May 4, 2024, HHW Collection event. Entering into this Interlocal Agreement will facilitate this opportunity. The event will be held at the Killeen Special Events Center. Under the Interlocal Agreement, CTCOG will contract for hazardous waste collection services for the HHW event and will contribute up to $20,000. The City will reimburse CTCOG the difference between their dedicated $20,000 amount and the total event cost; up to $45,000.
