Item 46 Passed 9-0

In plain language — from the agenda backup

This item would set up a five-year interlocal agreement with Travis County so folks who live outside Austin city limits can use the city's drop-off recycling and disposal services. It matters because it extends Austin Resource Recovery's reach beyond the city line to county residents. There's no immediate cost to the city — in fact, it's projected to bring in annual revenue for Austin Resource Recovery's operating budget.

The official agenda language

Authorize negotiation and execution of an interlocal agreement with Travis County for a five-year term for drop-off recycling and disposal services for Travis County residents who live outside the City. Funding: This item has no immediate fiscal impact but is projected to result in annual revenue in the Operating Budget of Austin Resource Recovery.
