That memorandum will be <br />presented at the scheduled August 15 meeting as there was not <br />sufficient time to thoroughly prepare the item for the July 11 <br />meeting. <br />Further the Owners Group requested that the staff proceed, with <br />appropriate technical assistance, to prepare an economic model for <br />various options in handling construction and demolition waste using <br />a processing facility. Work on the model will be conducted as part <br />of the detailed plan preparation on construction and demolition <br />waste to be presented at the Owners Group October meeting. Tha <br />model will enable us to develop options for differential fees for <br />separated materials as well as determine how a centralized <br />processing facility might work. <br />
