Interlocal Agreement for Street/Stormwater Debris Processing and Disposal Details: To meet requirements of its National Pollutant Discharge Elimination system (NPDES) Municipal Stormwater Permit, the City has participated for many years in regional recycling efforts with Clark County (County) and other municipalities in the County operating under interlocal agreements for the decant, processing and disposal of debris and waste generated form street sweeping and catch basin cleaning activities. The previous interlocal agreement, which expired December 31, 2015, generally used the number of loads taken to the decant facility to allocate costs to each jurisdiction. In prior years, the City has typically spent less than $10,000 for stormwater debris disposal costs and processing fees, which is paid for out of the Stormwater Utility Fund. Over the past several months, a steering committee consisting of all regional partners have worked to develop a new interlocal agreement and rate structure. The new proposed rate structure is based on per ton disposal costs that are determined by actual processing and final disposal costs incurred. All trucks entering and leaving the decant facility are weighed in at newly installed truck scales. This rate structure will be evaluated annually and adjusted as needed for accurate operating costs. With new requirements in the City's most recently issued NPDES Permit and City growth, staff anticipates higher frequencies of street sweeping and catch basing cleaning activities generating larger volumes of debris resulting in additional expenses versus prior years.
