District to single out $91,000 Arkwood invoice for board approval after unusually large hazardous‑waste bill
Summary
Staff reported a roughly $91,000 hazardous‑waste invoice from contractor Arkwood—driven largely by disposal of foaming insulation canisters—and will present the payment as a singled‑out claim at the next board meeting so the board can authorize an ACH exception for the controller and executive director.
District staff told the executive committee that an unusually large invoice from the district’s household hazardous waste contractor, Arkwood, totals about $91,000. Staff said the invoice covers roughly three months of collections and that foam‑insulation canisters comprised more than half of the billed amount.
Because the invoice exceeds internal ACH transaction limits, staff said they would present the claim as a singled‑out payment on the board consent/claims docket and seek board authorization to allow the controller and executive director to execute the ACH payment after the board meeting. Staff said the arrangement would allow the district to remain within internal controls while processing a large, time‑sensitive vendor payment.
Committee members expressed surprise at the size of the bill and acknowledged the cost pressures were part of the rationale for the proposed fee resolution addressing certain hazardous items. Staff indicated they will flag the Arkwood payment as a separate claim on the board agenda with explanation and requested authority to proceed after board approval.
