Suggested Action:

recommendation

I move that the Mayor and Council authorize the City Administrator to accept the Chesapeake Bay Trust Green Streets, Green Jobs, Green Cities Grant, in an amount of $15,000 for the concept development of an “environmental depot”. In addition, the Treasurer is authorized to appropriate the funds accordingly to meet the requirements of the grant.

end

 

Summary Background:

In the Fall of 2020, due to the need to site and reconstruct an appropriate oil and coolant collection facility at the Department of Public Works (DPW) yard, City staff began looking at options for the design and funding of an “environmental depot” to serve as a one-stop shop for the collection and recycling of oil and coolant, electronics, food scraps, and other environmental projects and services; and to serve as a model for other locations and municipalities. Working with the Low Impact Design Center a preliminary concept was discussed, and several grant applications were submitted, resulting in this award.

 

Next Steps:

Awarding grant funding to complete the design.

 

Fiscal Impact:

$15,000

 

City Administrator Comments:

Recommend acceptance.

 

Community Engagement:

Will be conducted as a part of the design process.

 

Strategic Goals:

Goal 3 - Promote a Safe and Vibrant Community
