WHEREAS, the Board of Commissioners has received a recommended Ingham County Solid Waste Management Plan update from the Ingham County Solid Waste Planning Committee; and

WHEREAS, the Board of Commissioners is in the process of adopting the Plan, with amendments, and transmitting it to the 24 municipalities in Ingham County for review and approval; and

WHEREAS, after the amended Plan has been adopted by a minimum of 16 of the 24 municipalities and approved by the MDEQ, it will replace the 1990 Ingham County Solid Waste Management Plan as the Ingham County policy for solid waste management; and

WHEREAS, the proposed Solid Waste Management Plan will require approximately $615,000 annually to implement, including the cost of a base level of recycling county wide, the cost of solid waste enforcement, including the cost of monitoring the implementation of the Plan, the cost of pollution prevention efforts to reduce the types and amount of hazardous materials that are placed in Type II and Type III landfills; and

WHEREAS, the Plan includes a number of options for funding the implementation; and

WHEREAS, the Controller and the Health Officer are recommending that the cost of the Solid Waste Management Plan implementation be supported by a fee placed on the waste generated in the County, and have evaluated the funding alternatives provided in the Plan and are recommending that a fee of $0.62 per cubic yard of solid waste disposed be charged to all solid waste disposal sites accepting waste generated in Ingham County.

THEREFORE BE IT RESOLVED, that the Ingham County Board of Commissioners establishes a fee of $0.62 per cubic yard on solid waste generated in Ingham County and disposed of in any solid waste disposal facility identified in the Ingham County Solid Waste Management Plan.

BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED, that it is the intent of the Board of Commissioners to support the cost of a base level of recycling services county wide by distributing to all twenty-four municipalities a proportion of approximately $360,000 generated annually will be based on the municipality's proportion of total County households as adjusted per the results of the 2000 census.

BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED, that it is the intent of the Board of Commissioners that each municipality shall arrange for its own base level recycling program, which it may do by contracting with private providers of recycling services, through arrangements with other municipalities, or by any other means that is acceptable to the Health Officer.

BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED, that the Board Chairperson is authorized to sign contractual agreements to implement this resolution with any or all of the eighteen solid waste management facilities identified in the proposed Ingham County Solid Waste Management Plan after review and approval as to form by the County Attorney.

BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED, that the Board Chairperson is authorized to sign contractual agreements with any or all of the municipalities in Ingham County in order to implement the base level of county wide recycling, which shall include at a minimum, reasonable access to drop off recycling services after review and approval as to form by the County Attorney.
