A RESOLUTION AUTHORIZING THE MAYOR AND THE CITY MANAGER, OR DESIGNEE, TO EXECUTE A MEMORANDUM OF UNDERSTANDING (MOU) WITH BROWARD COUNTY PROVIDING FOR A COLLABORATIVE AND COOPERATIVE EFFORT TOWARDS THE DEVELOPMENT OF A REGIONAL INTEGRATED SOLID WASTE AND RECYCLING SYSTEM.

 

body

BACKGROUND:

Since the dissolution of the Broward Resource Recovery Board several years ago, there has been no coordinated effort between Broward County and its municipalities to provide a regional integrated solid waste disposal and recycling processing system.  During the time since the aforementioned dissolution, waste-to-energy and recycling facilities have been consolidated, and in some cases, closed, which has negatively impacted County-wide recycling efforts and goals, limiting disposal options and increasing the volume of trash being landfilled.

DISCUSSION:

This MOU provides for a cooperative effort between the County and interested municipalities to collaboratively develop a regional, integrated solid waste disposal and recycling processing system that will address current and future needs.

RECOMMENDATION:

Staff recommends approval of this resolution.

FISCAL IMPACT:  N/A
