Authorize Intergovernmental Agreement with Metro for the Healthy Streets Program not to exceed $84,500
The City of Portland ordains:
Section 1. The Council finds:
- The Office of Management and Finance seeks Council’s authorization to execute an IGA with Metro to allow for facilitation of the Healthy Streets syringe waste reduction program operation.
- Medical waste (sharps) is not able to be disposed of in any general waste pickup. In 2017, to address the risks of sharps being incorrectly disposed of in the community, the City of Portland, Multnomah County, Metro, TriMet, and Clean and Safe entered into an agreement to manage the challenge of sharps disposal by providing public drop points for sharps to be safely disposed of. All partners cited locations and paid for the installation of their boxes. Metro now manages this program with financial support from partners for the original boxes. This new IGA supports continuation of this program.
- Term of the IGA will be effective July 1, 2023 thru June 30, 2025. Funds are included in the ongoing operating budget of the Impact Reduction Program.
- The Office of Management and Finance recommends that an IGA with Metro be approved for a total agreement value not to exceed $84,500.
NOW, THEREFORE, the Council directs:
- The Chief Administrative Officer or designee is authorized to execute an IGA with Metro in the not-to-exceed amount of $84,500 provided the agreement is approved as to form by the City Attorney’s Office. See attached Exhibit A.
- The Mayor and City Auditor are hereby authorized to execute payments to Metro when demand is presented and approved by the proper authorities.
