TO: Mayor and Town Council
FROM: W. Calvin Horton, Town Manager
SUBJECT: Budget Amendment for Landfill Fund
DATE: February 28, 2000
The attached resolution and budget ordinance would amend the Town’s 1999-2000 Landfill budget to add $8,564 in grant funds from the N. C. Division of Pollution Prevention and Environmental Assistance to be used for recycling activities.
During the current fiscal year, the Town’s Solid Waste Management Department has received several grants from the North Carolina Division of Pollution Prevention and Environmental Assistance ($5,000, $4,500 of which was awarded in February, the remainder to be awarded at completion of project); the Orange County Arts Commission ($1,164); and $600 each, $(2,400 total) from four private industry groups including the Durham Chapel Hill Home Builders Association, DH Griffin Wrecking Company, Paper Stock Dealers, and National Association for Plastic Container Recovery.
All of these grants are to be applied to the Solid Waste Management Department’s upcoming “Recycled Art and Magic Show”. For this show, six local artists have been commissioned to produce art work out of recycled materials including tires, plastics, metal, construction waste, paper and glass, for a travelling, county-wide display to be coordinated with a magic show featuring recycled materials to be held in the local public schools. These are new ways to promote the recycling and waste reduction message to our citizens and get some corporate support from the industries to whom we sell our materials or who generate such wastes.
The artists and the travelling magic show are to be paid out of the Recycling Division’s contract services account (61917-60699) and printing account (61917-60230). Of the total, $800 of the grant funds from the State DPPEA grant will be used for printing posters for the recycled art and magic show. The remaining $7,764 in grant funds will be used for compensating the artists and magician.
We recommend that the Town Council adopt the attached resolution and budget ordinance accepting the grant funds and amending the FY 1999-2000 Landfill budget for recycling activities.
