Roberts,EIT, MEng, MBA, CPM,Public Works Director- RE: P.R. 24547—Approval of Quarterly Payments of Solid Waste Permit ees for the Landfill to TCEQ Introduction: This agenda item requests the City Council's approval of quarterly payments of Solid Waste permit fees for the Landfill to TCEQ. 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 2026. The projected budgetary impact of the permit fees, at $148,000.00, exceeds the City Manager's spending authority, prompting a payment request for compliance and to avoid late fees. Past invoices from the fiscal year ending 2025 were used to estimate the payments for this resolution. Budget Impact: The total projected budgetary impact is $148,000.00, and funding is available in the Landfill's Regulatory Costs Account, 403-50-320-5471-00-00-000.
