EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
Recommendation to authorize a budget amendment in the amount of $224,000 transferring funds
between cost centers and line items within the Mandatory Residential Solid Waste Fund (473) to
cover higher than anticipated expenses for cart replacements and Hurricane Irma related waste
disposal.
OBJECTIVE: To provide adequate funding for actual/projected FY18 expenditures in District 2.
CONSIDERATIONS: Fund 473 provides mandated solid waste collections for the residential curbside
collection program including two (2) trash collections, one (1) recycling collection, one (1) yard waste
collection and one (1) bulky and electronics collection weekly. Solid waste carts are provided by the
Franchisee in both Districts 1 and 2 for all newly constructed properties that are considered curbside
collections.
Approximately half of the budget overrun is due to unusual increase in tonnage across the scales at the
Immokalee Transfer Station following Hurricane Irma. Tonnage since that time has returned to projected
levels. However, District 2 curbside program tonnage year-to-date is 16.8% percent higher than
originally budgeted, therefore anticipated disposal expense will be approximately $117,000 higher than
budget due to Hurricane Irma’s impact at the beginning of the fiscal year.
When solid waste carts need to be replaced due to a missing or broken cart, the County reimburses the
Franchisee for those carts on a quarterly basis. The Franchisees are only responsible for the first cart
delivered to a property or if the Franchisees damages the carts. This year, an unusual number of
incidences of missing and broken carts in District 2 increased by approximately $107,000 compared to
historical averages.
Approval of the following documents by the County Manager is subject to formal ratification by the
Board of County Commissioners. If the decision by the County Manager is not ratified by the Board, the
document(s) shall be enforceable against Collier County only to the extent authorized by law in the
absence of such ratification by that Board.
FISCAL IMPACT: Funding is available in the amount of $224,000 within the Mandatory Solid Waste
fund (473).
GROWTH MANAGEMENT IMPACT: There is no growth management impact associated with this
budget amendment.
LEGAL CONSIDERATIONS: This item has been reviewed by the County Attorney, is approved as to
form and legality, and requires majority vote for approval. -JAK
RECOMMENDATION: That the Board of County Commissioners authorizes a budget amendment in
the amount of $224,000 transferring funds between cost centers and line items within the Mandatory
Solid Waste program fund (473) to cover costs for unanticipated increases in cart replacement and
Hurricane Irma related waste disposal.
