FINANCIAL IMPACT: Acceptance of the grant award will save the County $25,000 in enterprise fund revenue that had already been budgeted for FY 2003-04. The current budget includes an appropriation of $30,000 far the purchase of a glass crusher. However, once staff learned about the possibility of obtaining a grant far this purpose, staff delayed purchasing the equipment in order to submit a grant request. The grant requires a minimum $2,500 match. Solid Waste Management staff have included $12,000 in the Department's requested FY 2004- 05 budget to pay for installation and additional mechanization enabling more efficient use of the crusher. That appropriation, if approved by the BOCC would more than satisfy the required 10 percent Iccal match. RECOMMENDATION(S): The Manager recommends that the Board authorize the Manager to accept the grant award for $25,000 and sign the grant agreement and any other appropriate documents with North Carolina Department of Environment and Natural Resources, subject to final review by staff and the County Attorney.
