P.R. #12000

RECOMMENDATZON
It is recommended that the City Council adopt Proposed Resolution No. 12000 authorizing funds
in the estimated annual amount of $120,000 for Texas Commission on Environmental Quality
[formerly Texas Natural Resource Conservation Commission CTNRCC)] annual fees paid in
quarterly installments of approximately $30,000 each for the waste disposed of at the City of
Port Arthur Landfill Facility, Permit No. 1815, and authorize the Director of Public Works to
make said quarterly payments to the Texas Commission on Environmental Quality.
BACKGROUND
The Texas Commission on Environmental Quality, in accordance with 30 Texas Administrative
Cede ('FAC), Section 330-602, requires all Type I Municipal Landfills to pay quarterly fees, based
on the amount of tonnage received at the landfill per quarter. In 2001 the total fees paid were
$85,619.10, and in 2002 the total was $98,603.11. The additional fees for 2002 were due to
increased volume and a more accurate cubic yardage accounting procedure. The volumes for
FY 2003 are expected to continue to rise, especially with the additional matedal to be brought
in by Eastex Waste Systems.
BUDGETARY/FISCAL EFFECT
Quarterly fees will be paid from Account No. 403-1274-533.59-01. These fees are figured into
the FY 2003 budget, at $100,000, which was approved prior to the contract agreement with
Eastex. Additional funds to pay the extra $20,000, if needed, are available from other line item
accounts in the Solid Waste Division of Public Works.
STAFFING/EMPLOYEE EFFECT
Acceptance of this recommendation has no effect on staffing levers at this time.
SUMMARY
It is recommended that the City Council adopt Proposed Resolution No. 12000 authorizing funds
in the estimated annual amount of $120,000 for Texas Commission on Environmental Quality
(formerly Texas Natural Resource Conservation Commission) annual fees paid in quarterly
installments of $30,000 each for the waste disposed of at the City of Port Arthur Landfill Facility,
