Len Leverence, representing Winnebago County, provided a slide presentation to the Town Board regarding the Solid Waste Management Board’s history and objectives. He stated their objective is to look for solutions to solid waste. An overview of the program services was provided, along with an overview of private landfill companies versus a countywide combination utilizing one landfill at a time. He supported combining all of these communities to support a county system. He proposed a regional program combining the strengths of all the mentioned communities. Solid Waste Board provides services based on users fees, which are set annually. He stated that Winnebago County is one of the lowest published landfills in the nation. He urged support to the Winnebago County Solid State Support Agreement.

Administrator, Patrick DeGrave - If the Town signs on to a ten year agreement, what guarantee do we have that Winnebago County Solid Waste will not raise the rates in the future?

Len Leverence answers, "good faith and trust".

Carlene Sprague, Clerk – If it is a question of good faith and trust, why would the Town need to sign an agreement?

Chairman, Arden Tews – What is the time frame regarding this agreement?

Len Leverance – It’s flexible. We are looking at February of 2001.

Supervisor, Jerry Jurgensen asks, "If we don’t sign the Agreement, would we still keep our same rate"?

If you decided to come back to Winnebago County at a later date, and you went to a private Agreement, capital make-up cost would be needed.

Much discussion ensued.

Jerry Finch, Winnebago County Supervisor, Town Resident – He urged the Town Board to support the Agreement.

2. Municipal Solid Waste & Recycling

Dave Tellock, representing Superior Services, stated that he is not here to compete with Winnebago County landfill. He requested a continuance of the current relationship that the Town has with Superior Services on a "hauling basis". He requested a continuance of the present contract for a one-year term. He also proposed that he would like to extend the contract as long as possible with a longer term option and a decrease in price. Dave Tellock stated that it was his intention to cooperate with the Town for a Hauling Agreement.

Director of Community Development, George Dearborn, made this presentation. He stated that the Visitor’s Convention Bureau made this request. Staff is asking that the Town Board respond favorably to this.
