BACKGROUND: Staff was made aware of reimbursement grants through Oklahoma Department of Environmental Quality (ODEQ) back in January of 2024. The City has applied for the grant for solid waste collection events on January 24, 2024. The total amount applied for is $32,700.00. The grant is an 80% ODEQ funded with a 20% City match. The attached contract is for up to $30,000.00. The City will have to spend the funding and then submit for reimbursements of the 80%. Most of the City portion will be staff time, with any extra being spent out of the Stormwater Management accounts.
One of the events will be held in November 2024 as a secondary Trash Off. The second event will be our annual Spring Trash Off event held in spring of 2025.
