INTERLOCAL AGREEMENT WITH THE CITY OF FORT
WORTH
City Council to consider approval of an Interlocal Agreement for Participation in the City of
Fort Worth's Environmental Collection Center in the amount of $55,800.00, authorize the
City Manager as signatory, and take any necessary action.
FUNDING SOURCE:
Funds are available in the following account:
100-44540-415-3 Professional Services $55,800.00
BACKGROUND:
Grapevine has participated with Fort Worth in providing a household hazardous waste
collection facility and program for the past several years. Fort Worth received a grant from
the Texas Natural Resource Conservation Commission to construct a regional hazardous
waste facility. The facility will accept household hazardous waste from citizens of
participating cities directly, or the city can hold their own collection events and the facility
will provide logistical support and accept the waste for proper disposal.
Grapevine, over the past fiscal year, has had 597 households utilize the program. Of that
total 84, households dropped waste off at the Fort Worth Collection Center and 513
households participated in the Grapevine sponsored collection events held locally. The
City sponsored an event on April 29, 2000 at which 445 households brought in household
hazardous waste. We anticipate that 900 households will participate in the next year in
this program. We are charged $62 per household to participate which is how we arrived
at the $55,800 budgeted for this program. However, we only pay the $62 per participant,
so if we experience less use of this program, we pay less to Fort Worth.
The program allows our citizens to properly dispose of hazardous waste that could end up
in landfills, storm drains, or the wastewater treatment plant and inevitably impact our
environment. Also, the State has promulgated rules that require Cities to reduce pollution
from storm water runoff. The household hazardous waste program is an important
component of a comprehensive pollution prevention plan.
R:\AGENDA\08-15-00\hhw2000.agm.doc, 8/10/2000
The household hazardous waste collection events have increased in popularity. The
participation of the Citizens of Grapevine has grown from 150 households in December
1998 to 597 households for 2000. The last event was held in conjunction with Earth Day
on April 29. A total of 45,000 pounds of household hazardous waste and 10,000 pounds
of electrical/electronic devices were collected and properly disposed of or recycled.

Dear Coordinator:
I would like to take this opportunity to thank your participating city for partnering with
the City of Fort Worth Environmental Collection Center (ECC) in the disposal of
household hazardous waste. It has been a record-breaking year both in the amount of
waste collected and the number of households disposing of waste at the center.
As you are probably aware, current contractual agreements with the City of Fort Worth
for use of the Environmental Collection Center end September 30, 2000. Enclosed are
interlocal agreements for the next fiscal year. The agreement term is October 1, 2000
through September 30, 2001. The executed contracts must be returned no later than
Friday, September Stn, 2000
You will notice the dates of holiday closures have changed. The biggest change in the
contracts is the overall cost per household. For the second year in a row, the price per
household will drop. The current rate per household is $67. The contractual rate for fiscal
year 2000-2001 will be $62 per household.
The drop in our price per household was made possible due to more efficient ways of
disposing of waste, participating cities advertising the Collection Center, and cities
encouraging citizens to dispose of their waste properly.
We look forward to having all cities join us in the proper disposal of household
hazardous waste. If you have any questions, please contact me at (817) 871-5275.
Sincerely,
i
Rex Johnson R.S., M.S.
