Miscellaneous Resolution # 92152- . June 25, 1992
BY: Charles E. Palmer, County Commissioner-District #12
RE: Solid Waste Department - Extension of Agreements with Waste
Management
TO THE OAKLAND COUNTY BOARD OF COMMISSIONERS
Mr. Chairperson, Ladies and Gentlemen:
WHEREAS Oakland County has long proposed that its
municipalities join together to collectively resolve municipal
solid waste problems with the ultimate goal of minimizing the
future direct landfilling of solid wastes; and
WHEREAS high volume reduction goals have been established to
reduce the amounts of municipal solid wastes (MSW), construction
and demolition debris (CDD) and industrial special wastes (ISW)
that must eventually be disposed of through the use of source
reduction and reuse, composting and recycling techniques; and
WHEREAS county-wide achievement of the aggressive volume
reduction goals depends upon everyone living, working and doing
business in the County being educated and informed in the same
consistent manner, upon a uniformly accepted approach to the
problem, and upon a sustained long-term change in the public ethic
in the way wastes are generated and disposed; and
WHEREAS the primary thrust of the proposed program has been
the responsible management of the waste stream over the long term
at governmentally owned and managed in-county facilities which
would guarantee the employment of high standard design and
operational practices; and
WHEREAS the basic funding mechanism required to support such
a program is the long-term commitment of the future waste stream by
the individual municipalities to the proposed System (flow control)
such that these commitments can provide the underpinning for the
sale of bonds to implement the proposed System; and
WHEREAS the County wishes to have an additional six months to
review the project status and implementation, and Waste Management
has offered to extend the Landfill License Agreement and Material
Recovery Facility Construction and Service Agreement through
December 31, 1992 at no additional cost to the County.
NOW THEREFORE BE IT RESOLVED that the Oakland County Board of
Commissioners authorizes the County Executive and Chairperson of
the Oakland County Board of Commissioners to execute the necessary
documents to extend the Landfill License Agreement and the Material
Recovery Facility Construction and Service Agreement with Waste
Management through December 31, 1992 at no additional cost to the
County.
