A <br />signed agreement is required to receive the funds. <br />Tukwila's Recycling Assistance Program operates exclusively through grant funding, without <br />City of Tukwila General Fund or Utility Fund monies used. Tukwila has received the WRR grant <br />for several years through a formula based on its population and employment. The WRR grant <br />provides part of DCD's budget and is regularly included in the City's overall budget. <br />DISCUSSION <br />Waste Reduction/Recycling Grant (W/RR) <br />The attached Waste Reduction/Recycling grant from the King County Solid Waste division totals <br />$67,311 for the 24-month grant period. A portion of the WRR grant funds will be used to <br />provide the required 25% match for the Coordinated Prevention Grant (CPG) grant from the <br />Washington Department of Ecology. WRR grant funds are allocated as follows: <br />• Residential Recycling Collection Events - $7,400 <br />Funds will be used to support events in Spring 2019 and 2020 to collect secondary <br />recyclables (i.e. "hard -to -recycle" goods such as i.e. tires, sinks, furniture, bulky yard debris, <br />etc.) from Tukwila and King County residents. <br />Tukwila City Hall • 6200 Southcenter Boulevard • Tukwila, WA. 98188 • 206-433-1.800 • Website: TukwilaWA.gav <br />7 <br />
