On January 9, 2012 the Common Council passed Ordinance No. 10145-12 which appropriated $130,000 for the purpose of covering all costs to enable cleanup of certain illegal dumping. The appropriation approved by Ordinance No. 10145-12 was for the period ending June 30, 2012, after which the program was to be evaluated for its efficacy.

To do this, an appropriation of an additional $100,000 is necessary, i.e., a total of$230,000 in funds for calendar year 2012. The attached ordinance approves such appropriation from General Fund 101, reimbursed to the Solid Waste Fund 610.

It is requested that this bill be filed for I"reading on July 9, 2012 with 2r'd reading, public hearing and 3`d reading scheduled for July 23, 2012.
