Miscellaneous Resolution 87213
BY: PLANNING AND BUILDING COMMITTEE - Anne M. Hobart,
Chairperson
IN RE: DEPARTMENT OF PUBLIC WORKS - AUTHORIZATION TO PAY
CERTAIN PLANNING COSTS AND INTENT TO PROCEED WITH
ACQUISITION OF A SANITARY LANDFILL
TO THE OAKLAND COUNTY BOARD OF COMMISSIONERS
Mr. Chairperson, Ladies and Gentlemen:
WHEREAS, as required by Act No. 641 of the Public
Acts of Michigan, 1978, as amended, the County of Oakland
(the "County") has prepared a Solid Waste Management Plan
(the "Act 641 Plan") providing for the disposal of all non-
hazardous solid waste generated in the County using a combi-
nation of sanitary landfills, transfer stations and resource
recovery facilities (the "System Facilities"), with emphasis
on the use of resource recovery facilities and limiting the
use of sanitary landfills; and
WHEREAS, to implement the Act 641 Plan and to
finance the acquisition and construction of the System Faci-
lities required to implement the Act 641 Plan, the County
and twenty-eight local units of government (the "Municipali-
ties") have entered into an Intergovernmental Agreement for
the Disposal of Solid Waste, dated as of August 15, 1985
(the "Agreement"); and
WHEREAS, the Municipal Solid Waste Board ("MSWB"),
consisting of one representative from each of the
Municipalities, has been formed pursuant to the Agreement
for the benefit of the Municipalities to assist in the
implementation, operation, management and administration of
the County's overall, solid waste management and disposal
system including equipment and System Facilities to be
acquired, constructed or operated by the County or any
agent, designee or contractor in connection with the imple-
mentation of the Act 641 Plan (the "System"); and
WHEREAS, Section 7.1 of the Agreement obligates
each Municipality to reimburse the County for its pro rata
share, as set forth in Schedule C attached to the Agreement,
of costs incurred by the County subsequent to July 1, 1985
for the planning, design and implementation of the System,
which aggregate costs were represented to the Municipalities
in the fall of 1985 to be approximately $693,700; and
WHEREAS, the MSWB has begun the preparation of the
Plan of Financing for the System Facilities and, upon
completion, will forward the Plan of Financing to the Board
of Commissioners for approval; and
WHEREAS, in connection with the preparation of the
Plan of Financing, the MSWB has determined that certain
activities (negotiation of contracts for sale of steam and
electricity, initial site work for resource recovery facili-
ty and preparation of vendor request for qualifications and
request for proposals) should commence on a "fast-track"
basis simultaneously with the preparation of the Plan of
-2-
Financing in order to shorten the overall project schedule
and to realize cost savings; and
WHEREAS, the MSWB has also determined that existing
landfill resources are not adequate to handle non-process-
ible solid waste, by-passed solid waste and incinerator ash
generated by the Municipalities and, accordingly, has recom-
mended that the County acquire a new sanitary landfill to
meet the needs of those local units of government that are
presently or may in the future become members of the MSWB;
and
WHEREAS, on April 21, 1987, the MSWB adopted reso-
lutions authorizing the expenditure of an additional amount
not to exceed $418,334 to pay the costs of (i) the "fast-
track" activities described above to proceed simultaneously
with the preparation of the Plan of Financing (not to exceed
$250,000), (ii) an increase in the budget of the engineering
consultant in the amount of $48,334 through the adoption of
the Plan of Financing and (iii) the preliminary costs
associated with the acquisition of a landfill for present
and future MSWB members (not to exceed $120,000 through the
adoption of the Plan of Financing) if the County agrees to
go forward with such acquisition; and
WHEREAS, twenty-seven of the Municipalities have
agreed to reimburse the County for their pro rata share of
any such additional costs incurred by the County; and
WHEREAS, the Board of Commissioners of the County
of Oakland deems it necessary and advisable to authorize the
-3-
expenditure of the additional $418,334 and to indicate its
intent to proceed with the acquisition of a new sanitary
landfill.
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED, BY THE BOARD OF
COMMISSIONERS OF THE COUNTY OF OAKLAND, as follows:
1. The Board of Commissioners hereby authorizes
the expenditure of an amount not to exceed $418,334 for the
following purposes:
(a) the costs (not to exceed
$250,000) of the "fast track"
activities described above to
proceed simultaneously with the
Plan of Financing;
(b) an increase in the budget of
the engineering consultant in
the amount of $48,334 through
the adoption of the Plan of
Financing; and
(c) the preliminary costs (not to
exceed $120,000 through the
adoption of the Plan of Financ-
ing) associated with the acqui-
sition of a sanitary landfill
for present and future members
of the MSWB.
2. In connection with the authorization to expend
moneys for the purpose set forth in paragraph 1(c) above,
the Board of Commissioners hereby indicates its intent to
proceed with the acquisition of a sanitary landfill on
behalf of present and future members of the MSWB.

Mr. Chairperson, Ladies and Gentlemen:
Pursuant to Rule XI-G of this Board, the Finance Committee has

sanitary land fills.

implementation of the 641 plan have been placed in the Sewer,
Water and Solid Waste Division Budget - Professional Services
Account.
3) Section 7.1 of the Agreement obligates each municipality in the
County to reimburse the County for its pro-rata share of the
additional cost incurred for design, planning and implementation
of the 641 plan (certain funds spent from Sewer, Water and Solid
Waste Budget), total cost estimated to be $693,700.
4) Thirty (30) municipalities have currently joined the MSWB and
have approved resolutions agreeing to reimburse the County for
additional cost not exceeding $418,334, the County will receive
the remainder of its advances, from time to time as other
municipalities join MSWB.
5) The MSWB has adopted a resolution for the use of the $418,334
which includes initial planning leading to the County's
acquisition of a sanitary landfill site.
6) $418,334 is available in the Sewer, Water and Solid Waste budget,
and recommends the following expenditures in conjunction with the
MSWB resolution:
a) $250,000 for "fast track" activities relating to the

electricity and the preparation of vender request for
qualifications and request for proposals related to current
projects including the proposed wasta-ta'-enEr''gy facility,
b) $48,334 to increase the engineering consultant contract to
cover additional work accomplished through the plan of
financing,
