Much of the exchange was spent discussing the five-year revenue and expenditure forecast and the estimated budget for fiscal year 2001. The Portland delegation has asked Rayong Municipality to translate both the budget and the five-year capital plan, which provides a list of capital projects that the municipality will submit to the central government for possible funding. The two delegations successfully completed the work plan objectives as defined in the February Work Plan review. The Portland delegation met with the task force to discuss citizen involvement and their future relationship with municipal staff. The task force will receive instruction in revenues, expenditures, and the general budgetary process, similar to the instruction given to the Portland delegation.

City personnel included Xxxxx Xxxxxx, Environmental Program Manager in the Natural Resources Department of the City of Fort Xxxxxxx, and Xxxxxx Xxxxx, Environmental Education Specialist in the Natural Resources Department of Larimer County, Colorado. Xx. Xxxxxx and Xx. Xxxxx represent key staff responsible for implementing local policies regarding solid waste management and recycling in Larimer County and the City of Fort Xxxxxxx. A number of Cebu stakeholders participated in the June 2001 exchange, including staff from the City’s Planning Department and the Department of Public Services, representatives from the Xxxxx Foundation, and members Barangay Pari-an. The objectives of this third trip/exchange were to: - Introduce U.S. staff to the Cebu community, its existing solid waste management system, and project stakeholders; - Introduce U.S. staff to the barangay system; - Provide Cebu staff with an overview of education and outreach campaign elements; - Further refine the waste segregation pilot - Continue to refine what will be addressed in the Resource Cities project and draft a work plan. Key Accomplishments Include: An Action Plan drafted in March was reviewed, completed tasks were checked off, and the status of remaining tasks was updated. The pilot waste segregation project identified in the March Action Plan was further defined and scheduled for beginning stages of implementation. A neighborhood, or barangay, called Pari-an was enlisted to serve as the study area for the pilot. A partnership with a corporate, non-governmental organization (Xxxxx Foundation) was established, and Xxxxx representatives accepted specific roles for the NGO to support neighborhood based source separation and recycling efforts. An introduction to potential public outreach and education tools was presented. As a result of the third exchange visit, we were able to adjust the pilot programs to address an area – segregation of organic material from the waste stream to be composted – that needs more attention than recycling. A good framework for the curbside collection and trial compost operation projects has been outlined, with a number of details filled in concerning assignments and schedules. A new “corporate” project has been added to the work plan, whereby the Xxxxx Foundation will provide assistance in educating the public about segregation and composting activities. The NGO may also...
