Information

Request/Subject

Intergovernmental Agreement (IGA) to join the Southeastern Arizona Waste Tire Program Consortium

Background Information

Disposal of waste tires into landfills is prohibited by Arizona Revised Statutes Section 44-1304. All counties are required to establish a program for the disposal of waste tires. In 2009, Gila County, along with Graham, Greenlee, Cochise, and Santa Cruz Counties created the Southeastern Arizona Waste Tire Program Consortium and established a waste tire disposal program. The IGA expires at the end of this fiscal year (June 30, 2019).

Evaluation

The participating counties wish to continue the Southeastern Arizona Waste Tire Program Consortium. To continue, a new IGA needs to be in place by July 1, 2019. The Consortium has been a benefit to the participating counties and needs to be renewed.

Conclusion

It is in the best interest of Gila County to continue to participate in the Southeastern Arizona Waste Tire Program Consortium.

Recommendation

It is the recommendation of the Public Works Director to enter into the IGA to continue the Southeastern Arizona Waste Tire Program Consortium with the participating counties.

Suggested Motion

Information/Discussion/Action to approve an Intergovernmental Agreement between Cochise, Gila, Graham, Greenlee and Santa Cruz Counties (Consortium) to continue being a part of the Southeastern Arizona Waste Tire Program Consortium beginning July 1, 2019, for a period of 60 months with an automatic renewal of 60 months.
