BOARD OF COUNTY COMMISSIONERS
AGENDA REQUEST
DATE: September 17, 2013
TO: Honorable Chairman and Members of the Board
FROM: John Hofstad
SUBJECT: FDEP HHW Cooperative Arrangement Grant
DEPARTMENT: Public Works
BCC DISTRICT: All
STATEMENT OF ISSUE: Public Works is in receipt of Agreement # S0662 (attached) from
the Florida Department of Environmental Protection (FDEP) for fiscal year 2014 for Household
Hazardous Waste collection and disposal for ten Northwest Florida counties.
BACKGROUND: Since 1992, Okaloosa County has participated in a grant program through the
FDEP to provide free collection and disposal of household hazardous waste (HHW) in exchange
for organizing and conducting mobile collection events in ten neighboring counties (Calhoun,
Franklin, Gadsden, Gulf, Holmes, Jackson, Liberty, Santa Rosa, Walton, and Washington)
throughout the Panhandle.
The total amount reimbursable under the grant is $223,500 and is reflected in the Solid Waste
Division’s budget each year. This is a financially and environmentally beneficial program that
provides supplemental funding to the Solid Waste Division annually.
OPTIONS: Approve/Disapprove acceptance of the FDEP Household Hazardous Waste
collection and disposal grant for Okaloosa County and the surrounding ten-county area.
RECOMMENDATIONS: Staff requests approval from the Board and authorization for the
Chairman to execute Agreement #S0662 from the Florida Department of Environmental
Protection for the annual Household Hazardous Waste grant and any subsequent grant
documents.
