Title

Authorizing the expenditure of $21,175 from the Sanitary Sewer Operating Fund to pay the National Association of Clean Water Agencies (NACWA) for Water Reclamation’s 2024 membership dues; and declaring an emergency.

 

Body

NACWA is a nationally-recognized leader in environmental policy and a sought-after technical resource on water quality and ecosystem protection issues. Viewed as a key stakeholder in both the legislative and regulatory arenas, NACWA has built credible, collaborative relationships with members of Congress, Presidential administrations and the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA). This ordinance authorizes payment of Water Reclamation’s 2024 membership dues. Adequate funds are provided in the Water Reclamation’s 2024 Sanitary Sewer Operating Budget for this purpose.

 

NOW, THEREFORE, Be it ordained by the Council of the City of Toledo:

 

SECTION 1. That an amount not to exceed $21,175 is authorized for expenditure from the Sanitary Sewer Operating Fund, Account Code 6070-36000-4000531STDSTD, for payment of Water Reclamation’s 2024 membership dues to the National Association of Clean Water Agencies.

 

SECTION 2.  That the Finance Director is authorized to draw their warrant or warrants against the above account code in an amount not to exceed $21,175 in payment of the above- authorized obligation upon presentation of the proper voucher or vouchers.

 

SECTION 3.  That this ordinance is declared an emergency measure and shall take effect and be in force from and after its passage.  The reason for the emergency lies in the fact that this ordinance is necessary for the immediate preservation of the public peace, health, safety and property, and for the further reason that this ordinance is needed for prompt payment of Water Reclamation’s 2024 membership dues to the National Association of Clean Water Agencies.
