BACKGROUND The Utilities Committee reviewed this issue at its meeting on February 4, 2008, and forwarded it the COW (Attachment A). Since the 1990's, Tukwila's Recycling Assistance Program has been operated exclusively through grant funding. No General Fund monies or solid waste subscriber monies are used for this program. Tukwila has received two grants that continue the Recycling Program efforts —one is a Waste Reduction/Recycling grant (W/RR) from the King County Solid Waste Division, and the other is a Coordinated Prevention grant (CPG) from the Washington Department of Ecology. Both grants cover the period from January 1, 2008 through December 31, 2009, and each requires a signed interlocal agreement. DISCUSSION The grants are described below: Waste Reduction/Recvclina Grant (W/RR) The Waste Reduction/Recycling grant from the King County Solid Waste division totals $78, 655 for the 2008 -2009 grant period. (Attachment B) The grant will be spent evenly over two years, with $39, 327.50 budgeted in both 2008 and in 2009. WRR grant funds will be allocated as follows: Special Residential Recycling Collection —($15, 000) Hold two yearly events to collect hard -to- recycle goods (i.e. electronics, tires, furniture, bulky yard debris, etc.) from Tukwila residents Residential Recycling —Food Waste Program ($12,000) Provide Tukwila residents with countertop food waste recycling containers, and educational materials on home food waste recycling.

Special emphasis will be on City of Tukwila facilities, and on sites with property managers and multiple tenants, including Westfield Southcenter Mall. Some grant funds will provide the local matching funds required for the Washington Department of Ecology's Coordinated Prevention Grant (CPG), described below. Coordinated Prevention Grant (CPG): The Coordinated Prevention Grant (CPG) from the Washington Department of Ecology (DOE) totals $22, 276 for the 2008 -2009 period. The CPG grant requires a 25% local match (i.e. $7, 425), which will be provided by the WRR grant (discussed above). The State grant share ($22, 701) plus the 25% local match equals the "maximum allowable cost" of $29, 701. (Attachment C) The CPG grant funds will be used as follows: Non residential Recycling -$29, 701 (Two-year total combines grant and 25% required local match) Assist Tukwila businesses in reduce waste, starting or improving a recycling program, purchase recycled products, and, where possible, to develop sustainable business practices.

E) Task Performance Objectives: The City plans to send out approximately 7,500 promotional flyers to Tukwila households per event and publicize the event through King County promotional activities, including County websites and telephone assistance. The City anticipates collecting 45 -60 tons of material from the local waste stream per year. After collection, materials will be diverted from the waste stream and processed for recycling. The event will also provide an opportunity to recycle moderate risk waste, although this will not be paid for with WRR funds. The King County Health Department, the City of Tukwila, and Washington State Department of Ecology will pay for event expenses as well. Allied may also participate in the Special Residential Collection Event by holding the collection events that have been specified in its contract with the City of Tukwila as part of the Special Residential Collection Event. If this is the case, the project budget will be adjusted accordingly. F) Task Impact Objectives: By hosting Recycling Collection Events, Tukwila can reduce the amount of recyclable material that goes to the local landfill. With a population of approximately 18, 000, the City of Tukwila expects, that 400 -600 households will actively participate each year by bringing recyclable materials to the event for proper disposal and recycling. This will result in 45 -60 tons of material diverted from the local waste stream for recycling per year.

In addition to diverting materials from the City waste stream, attracting residents to events provides an opportunity to distribute educational material on City and King County recycling programs. The educational materials are intended to reinforce residents' knowledge of solid waste practices, and to lead to desired behavior in purchase, handling, and disposal of recyclable materials.

Goal: Subtask l: Increase awareness of and participation in food waste and yardwaste recycling programs among (single family) Tukwila residents e. Program/Project Specifics 1) Background/History Vegetative food waste recycling is now offered to Tukwila residents who subscribe to yardwaste recycling. It is included in Allied Waste's contract with the C ity of Tukwila. Yardwaste collection is not part of the standard fee for solid waste (garbage and recycling) service, so Tukwila solid waste customers still must pay a separate fee to receive yardwaste service. We plan to offer the countertop food waste containers to residents who subscribe to yardwaste service. By providing the containers either for free or for a very minimal cost, we hope to educate people about the benefits of food waste recycling, and to encourage them to sign up for yardwaste collection service. Task Performance Objectives: Subtask 1: Over the grant period, the City will make approximately 300 to 500 plastic countertop food waste containers available to residents either at a specific sales event, at Special Recycling Collections, or through a "virtual" sale (i.e. by mail). The City will buy containers, subsidize the cost using WRR funding, and either give the containers to the residents for free or for a very reduced cost. We will work with Allied Rf 7 12/28/2007 C:\Documents and Settings \johnm \Local Settings \Temporary Internet Files \OLK24 \WRR Grant 2008- 2009 10 31 0.7.doc Waste to coordinate the "message" to residents, as well as the publicity, distribution and sign -ups for yard waste. The City will publicize the distribution event(s) through mailings to residents, the City website, and /or bill stuffers. If possible, Tukwila will partner with one or more neighboring jurisdictions to obtain the best purchase price and lower administrative Costs. The City will also prepare educational materials with a "food recycling/sustainability" focus, and distribute the information along with the containers. Objectives Subtask 1: Distribute approximately 300 to 500 countertop food waste containers to Tukwila residents f.

The funds will be taken from the 303 Fund. Council approval for the contract is not required since the contract is less than $25,000. INFORMATION ONLY. D. Southcenter Boulevard Water Main Chanee Order No. 2 Budeet Shortfall Staff is seeking full Council approval to utilize the ending Water Fund budget to pay for a project overrun in the Southcenter Boulevard Water Main Replacement Project. Two reasons were identified for the over budget amount: 1. the design of the project was not communicated in the best possible clear and definitive terms from the City to the contractor; and 2. inflation due to rising materials costs. The project contractor, R.L. Alia, overran the stated contract time by approximately 100 days. They could possibly prove that the extended time was due to reason number one as stated above. In response to assessed liquidated damages by the City and contractor expression of a potential lawsuit, staff negotiated a settlement with the contractor rather than induce a lawsuit. The negotiation was to pay the contractor for direct expenditures for labor and material as related to unclear terms of the project design. The contractor's original claim started much higher than negotiated. The project exceeded the budgeted amount by $45,000. The over budget amount will be taken from the ending Water Fund balance. The Water Fund balance will experience a cost saving of approximately $110,000 as a result of an interlocal agreement with King County Metro in the Interurban Water Reuse project. UNANIMOUS APPROVAL.
