Background: In accordance with the Texas Health and Safety Code, Section 361.135, and Title 30 Texas Administrative Code (TAC), Section 335.324, the Landfill is assessed an annual facility fee, paid quarterly, for having a Class 1 industrial solid waste or hazardous waste permit. TCEQ will invoice the City for solid waste permit fees for the fiscal year ending 2025. The projected budgetary impact for the permit fees of $90,000.00 exceeds the City Manager's spending authority, prompting the payment request for compliance and avoiding late fees. Past invoices from TCEQ were used to estimate the remaining payments for this resolution. Budget Impact: The total projected budgetary impact is $90,000.00, and funding is available in the Landfill's Regulatory Costs Account, 403-50-320-5471-00-00-000.
