BOARD OF COUNTY COMMISSIONERS
AGENDA REQUEST
DATE: October 21, 2014
TO: Honorable Chairman and Members of the Board
FROM: Jason Autrey
SUBJECT: PW - FDEP Agreement# S0717
DEPARTMENT: Public Works
BCC DISTRICT: All
STATEMENT OF ISSUE: The Florida Department of Environmental Protection has provided
a proposed grant agreement (S0717 Agreement attached) for fiscal year 2015 (July 1, 2014 -
June 30, 2015).
BACKGROUND: Since 1992 Okaloosa County has participated in the FDEP grant program to
provide amnesty type collection of Household Hazardous Waste (HHW) and Conditionally
Exempt Small Quantity Generator (CESQG) waste from residents and businesses in neighboring
counties. This is facilitated by individual interlocal agreements (attachment F) with specific
counties to be eligible to participate in the grant. FDEP agrees to pay 75% of the annual event
costs in each neighboring county while the neighboring county agrees to pay the balance. In
exchange for Okaloosa County acting in the role of "Host County" FDEP provides $10,000 per
county for a total of $80,000 on a reimbursable basis to be used for costs related to Okaloosa's
HHW operations.
OPTIONS: Approve/Disapprove
RECOMMENDATIONS: Staff recommends that the Board authorize the Chairman to execute
the attached agreement and all future grant documents during the term of the grant.
