WHEREAS, Bridging the Gap has also requested that the County provide matching funds in the amount of $20,000 to a grant which it anticipates receiving from the Mid- America Regional Council Solid Waste Management District to provide funding for a rotating weekend recycling center that would serve several geographic areas in the County in which recycling is presently underdeveloped; and,
