MISC. RESOLUTION #92058
BY: COMMISSIONER DONALD BISHOP, DISTRICT #6
RE: SOLID WASTE-AMENDMENT TO INTERGOVERNMENTAL AGREEMENTS,
ALLOWING LOCAL MUNICIPALITIES TO ENTER INTO PHASE I
TO THE OAKLAND COUNTY BOARD OF COMMISSIONERS:
MR. CHAIRMAN, LADIES AND GENTLEMEN:
WHEREAS, by Miscellaneous Resolution #90229, adopted September
27, 1990, the Oakland County Board of Commissioners established a
sequential implementation plan for the County's Solid Waste Program, and
through Intergovernmental Agreements (IGAs), have solicited the local
municipalities of the County to commit to participation in the County's
Solid Waste Program for both Phase I (household hazardous waste,
composting, recycling and landfilling) and Phase II (waste-to-energy), and
WHEREAS, the majority of the local municipalities have expressed
reluctance to enter a contractual commitment with the County for Phases I
and II of the Solid Waste Program due to a number of variable cost factors
which prevent the County from being able to project the costs of Phase II
on a per household basis with any acceptable degree of assured accuracy,
and
WHEREAS, conversely, a majority of local municipalities have
expressed great interest in entering the Phase I portion of the County
Solid Waste Program, if they could do so without being liable for
participation in Phase II.
WHEREAS, the schedule for construction of the Waste-to-Energy
facility, with the withdrawal of the contractor and the apparent hesitation
on the part of the State to issue the necessary air quality permits, has
been delayed indefinitely.
NOW THEREFORE BE IT RESOLVED that the Oakland County Board of
Commissioners does hereby modify and amend its Solid Waste Management
System Implementation Plan to allow local municipalities to enter into
Intergovernmental Agreements with the County for Phase I only, with no
requirement to participate in Phase II.
BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED, that no County employee, elected official
or agent enter into any negotiations with other contractors for a Waste-to-
Energy Facility until the Board of Commissioners, by appropriate
resolution, directs such activity.
BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED that all resolutions or portions of
resolutions in conflict herewith, are hereby rescinded in whole or in part.
Mr. Chairperson, I move the adoption of t„hp foregoing resolution.
