Resolution 2019-110 - Authorizing Sponsorship of Water Refill Stations and an Agreement with the Williamson County Chamber Foundation for Fundraising

Background

The City of Brentwood's Environmental Advisory Board has launched a campaign to encourage residents to reduce the consumption of single-use plastic water bottles and instead make greater use of refillable water containers. As part of this effort, the City will retrofit some of its existing traditional water fountains to the type that allow the refilling of bottles and will ask local businesses to consider doing the same.

A group of Leadership Brentwood Class of 2020 participants have approached the City and inquired if they can assist the City's effort by fundraising for the installation of these refill stations in City parks. The Environmental Advisory Board has welcomed this assistance and asked staff to work with Leadership Brentwood to facilitate their efforts. As such, staff prepared the attached agreement pursuant to the adopted Sponsorship Program (adopted by Resolution 2012-27 on April 9, 2012) for the City Commission's consideration.

The funds raised by the Leadership Brentwood team will first flow to the Williamson County Chamber Foundation. The Foundation will then remit the funds in full within four months of receipt to the City for the purpose of acquiring and installing as many of the stations as the funds will allow. The team is hopeful they can raise between $6,000 and $13,000. A small dedication plaque will accompany each of the refill stations acknowledging the donor, the Foundation, and Leadership Brentwood.

Please contact Assistant City Manager Jay Evans with any questions.
