The Council of the City of Palo Alto does ordain as follows:
SECTION 1. The Council of the City of Palo Alto finds and
determines as follows:
A. Pursuant to the provisions of Section 12 of Article
III of the Charter of the City of Palo Alto, the Council on
June 18, 2012 did adopt a budget for fiscal year 2013; and
B. In fiscal years 2008 and 2009, the Council
appropriated a total of $1,500,000 for CIP project RF-07001,
Relocation of Landfill Facilities, to relocate the existing
recycling drop-off center, tollbooth, scale, and
administrati ve trailer at the landfill in order to begin
landfill closure; and
C. The scope of CIP RF-07001 is now modified to add
storage capacity and upgrade the existing household hazardous
waste (HHW) station located at the entrance to the Regional
Water Quality Control Plant (RWQCP). The original scope of
CIP RF-07001 was to design and construct a new Recycling
Center that had been located on-the landfill in order to begin
landfill closure. A combined Recycling Center/HHW Station was
meant to be located at the RWQCP. However, due to budgetary
constraints, it was decided to not construct the Recycling
Center portion of the project, leaving only the HHW station
work within the project. Accordingly, in fiscal year 2012, a
mid-year adjustment was made to reduce the budget for CIP RF-
07001 by $879,473; and
D. Following a formal bid process, American Asphalt
Repair and Resurfacing Co., Inc. was selected to perform work
for improvements to the HHW station. The contract amount is
$342,000. An additional amount of $34,200 is needed to cover
contingency for installing the canopy footings and for any
unforeseen work; and
E. Additional amounts of $5,711 for building permit
fees, $3,530 for public art, $5,000 for sprinkler and
electrical costs, and $2,400 for tree work are needed for the
improvements to the HHW station; and
F. The current available appropriation balance of
$187,691 for CIP RF-07001 is not sufficient to cover the costs
of the improvements to the HHW station, and an additional
appropriation of $205,150 is needed to complete the project;
and
G. The total additional appropriation of $205,150 for
the proj ect will be funded by a grant reimbursement of
$150,000 from the California Department of Resources Recycling
and Recovery, and by a reallocation of $55,150 in non-salary
expenses from the Refuse Fund operating budget.
H. City Council authorization is needed to amend the
2013 budget as hereinafter set forth.

Hundred Fifty Dollars ($205,150) is hereby appropriated to CIP
Project RF-07001, Relocation of Landfill Facilities, for
improvements to the Household Hazardous Waste Station.
