Board discusses tire-recycling grant timing and shipment delays
Summary
Members and staff discussed a $10,000 tire-recycling grant (referred to as 2025 funds received in 2026), slow truck availability delaying shipments, and per-tire pickup pricing of about $2.50; billing timing and grant-year carryover were clarified.
Board members raised questions about the tire-recycling grant and how expenses were recorded across fiscal years. One member said, "The tire recycling grant, the 10,000 you have for 2020. So that's actually the 2025 money. We didn't get it until 2026," prompting staff to explain that contractor fees and shipments had overlapped fiscal years.
Staff and members discussed operational constraints: trucks have been scarce, shipments delayed, and one speaker said the current pickup rate was about $2.50 per tire. They noted the board had shipped one load after grant approval and were working to schedule additional hauls.
