Impact statement

Purpose & background

There has been no previous Council action directly related to this ordinance. This ordinance supports specific City waste policies.

Financial impacts

No City match is required for these funds. No positions will be created, eliminated or re-classified as a result of this legislation. Existing Solid Waste Management Funded positions will be used for staff time associated with this project. The funding amount of $100,000 was not included in the FY 2022-23 Adopted Budget for BPS. Metro has awarded a $100,000 grant to the City for this project, which will be incorporated into the BPS FY 2022-23 budget under grant number PN000109.

Community impacts

Community members will benefit both from increased collection of bulky waste at multifamily and low-income rental properties, they will also benefit from reduced illegally dumped bulky waste materials.
