Memorandum
The city owns a materials recovery facility (MRF) that is operated by FCR LLC dba RRS Inc. (“FCR”), which is in the fourteenth year of a twenty-year agreement with the city to operate and maintain the MRF on behalf of the city. A jointly funded MRF Capitalized Renewal and Replacement Account exists within the Solid Waste Enterprise Fund to finance capital renewals and replacements as needed.
