1973 SANITARY LAND FILL CONTRACT:
Mr. Lee Parker appeared before the Committee to discuss the 1973 Sanitary
Land Fill Agreement. Mr. Parker reported the volume of solid waste has
increased at least twenty percent since 1971 and most probably twice this
amount in the last two years.
Mr. Parker informed the Committee the dump area, as it is now operated,
will be at capacity by the end of 1973. This information prompted a
lengthy discussion by the Committee as to possible solutions. The Board
of Trustees will meet again in the very near future with county officials
to discuss solid waste problems.
Mr. Parker and the Committee agreed on the following changes in the 1973
Agreement to operate the land fill and recommend approval by the Board
of Trustees:
1. The base cost of the land fill operation shall be raised from
the present $22,682.00 for 1972 to $26,000.00 for 1973. This
is a fifteen percent increase since the 1970 agreement (two
years).
2. The cost of hauling waste from all Town owned containers shall
be increased from the present $1,200.00 per year to $1,600.00
for 1973.
3. The provision in the agreement controling hauling costs shall
be amended to read "the tariff's, as filed by the owner with
the Colorado Public Utilities Commission, shall govern the
hauling rates".
4. A paragraph shall be added to read as follows: "All costs for
the operation of the Air Curtain Destructor or any other burn-
ing shall be paid in addition to this agreement".
5. The land fill shall be closed all day Christmas.
Due to the lateness of the hour the balance of the agenda was postponed
until the next meeting.
There being no further business, the meeting adjourned.
