To: From: Zero Waste Advisory Commission Ken Snipes Director Austin Resource Recovery Date: November 18th, 2020 Subject: Director’s Monthly Report to the Zero Waste Advisory Commission Multi-family Compost Pilot The Zero Waste Advisory Commission was briefed on a multifamily compost pilot in 2019. This pilot was originally intended to be conducted in the spring and summer of 2020 with the purpose of informing future policy direction, but was put on hold due to the ongoing pandemic. Work continues on this project with the intent of launching a new pilot in 2021. Staff has contacted previously confirmed participant properties. Nine of the ten properties originally committed to the pilot have stated they remain interested in participating. Additional properties are being contacted in search of new participants to add to the total. While funding for the project was identified in FY21 budget, it has recently come to staff’s attention that the use of the Clean Community Fee to fund this pilot may not be an option moving forward. Staff is currently evaluating alternative funding sources necessary for this project to continue. austinrecycles.com ARR Fleet Purchases FY 21 Under the current Fleet Master Agreement, ARR is scheduled to purchase the following types of equipment for Fiscal Year 21.
