_ 26 Robert M. Jessup Jr. APR 2 9 Attorney at Law t Received April 25, 1997 APR 2 81997 To the persons on the Managers Office accompanying distribution list Landfill Reorganization Agreement— Revised Article V Gentlemen and Ms. Loewenthal: Here is a revised draft of Article V of the agreement for your review. This draft reflects only a few changes that I have made in response to the discussion at the AOG meeting on April 17,but at least one change is substantial, and I thought circulating these changes would help keep things moving along. Once we have determined the next step in this process, I will circulate a new complete draft of the agreement. The changes to Section 5.06 are intended to clarify that the express fee limitations in other sections are limitations on the County's general powers as to rates, fees and charges set forth in Section 5.06. There is a new Section 5.08, entitled "Governmental Recycling Fee." At the end of the AOG meeting, the Managers asked me to add a provision to the draft agreement that treated any general recycling fees on a basis substantially similar to increases in the mixed solid waste tipping fee. Section 5.08 is my response. You will see that Section 5.08 applies only to fees imposed directly against governments, as opposed to charges imposed against users or property owners. This approach protects the governments from changes that directly impact their budgets, thereby providing protection of the type afforded by Section 5.07 (with respect to the Mixed Solid Waste Tipping Fee). This draft provides for recycling fees imposed on users or property owners, including general availability fees, to be handled as "Other Fees" under Section 5.09 (formerly Section 5.08). This framework generates(at least)the following questions: 100 Europa Drive Europa Center Suite 380 Chapel Hill,NC 27514 Phone:919/932-8790 Fax:919/967-4149 E-mail:Bob)essup @aol.com
