DATE: March 7, 2017
TO: Board of Supervisors
SUBMITTED BY: David Pomaville, Director, Department of Public Health
SUBJECT: Waste Management Equipment Purchase
RECOMMENDED ACTION(S):
TITLE
1. Adopt Budget Resolution increasing the FY 2016-17 appropriations and estimated revenues in the Department of Public Health, Integrated Waste Management Org 1156 in the amount of $26,213 (4/5 vote).
2. Adopt Budget Resolution increasing the FY 2016-17 appropriations and estimated revenues for the Department of Public Health Org 5620 in the amount of $26,213 (4/5 vote).
REPORT
Approval of the recommended actions will allow the Department of Public Health to replace a ten-year-old landfill gas extraction monitor required at the County's active and inactive landfill sites. The County is one of three counties in the State to be in a unique position of having commercial property developed on landfills. The monitor is used to analyze and regulate the flow of dangerous gases at the landfills. The new monitor and training, services and supplies for the Waste Management Program will be paid for with Local Enforcement Agency (LEA) grant funds, with no Net County Cost.
ALTERNATIVE ACTION(S):
There is no viable alternative action. Should your Board not approve the recommended actions, the Department would be unable to replace the required monitor, hindering the ability to immediately respond to potential hazards in or around developments constructed on or near landfills and added training and supplies would not be provided.
FISCAL IMPACT:
There is no increase in Net County Cost associated with the recommended actions. Approval of the first recommended action will increase the FY 2016-17 appropriations and estimated revenues in the amount of $26,213 in the Integrated Waste Management Org 1156 using CalRecycle (California's Department of Resources Recycling and Recovery) 2016-17 LEA grant revenue to fund an Operating Transfer Out to the Department of Public Health Org 5620.
