Purpose

Authorizing the Director of Land Resources and Environment to Submit Grant Applications for DATCP Clean Sweep Grant Program

Background

Sauk County recognizes that proper disposal of hazardous waste is important to the safety and well-being of County residents and the collection and proper disposal of hazardous wastes serves to protect the natural resources of the County.  Sauk County has supported the Clean Sweep Program and hazard waste collection events held in the County for well over twenty years.

 

The Land Resources and Environment Department hosts one (1) Clean Sweep Event annually as well as several Ag Plastic events throughout the year to assist residents with the proper disposal of hazardous wastes.  The Clean Sweep Grant Program through DATCP helps to defray some of the expense of disposing of the collected materials and provides a service to County residents that would otherwise be costly to individual households and helps to protect the natural resources of Sauk County.

Fiscal Note: The estimated grant award in the 2024 Budget is $14,830.24.  The total budget for Clean Sweep and Ag Plastics is $57,000.  Fees are charged at the Clean Sweep Event for certain types of items, which aid in covering a portion of the costs. Given that the application is for 2025 Grant Funds, the Department would anticipate the same revenues and expenses would be requested and budgeted for 2025.
