Robert M.Jessup Jr. 27 <br /> Landfill Reorganization <br /> Working Group <br /> April 25, 1997 <br /> Page 2 <br /> 1) Is it appropriate for three out of four governments to put a <br /> Governmental Recycling Fee into effect, or should such a step require unanimous <br /> approval? It struck me that a "three out of four" rule was consistent with the provisions <br /> for creating new fees in Section 5.09, which is the most closely parallel provision in the <br /> draft agreement. <br /> 2) Is the 10% increase level still appropriate? Because a <br /> Governmental Recycling Fee would most likely be imposed to allow a decrease in the <br /> tipping fee, or at least to relieve pressure for an increase in the tipping fee, it seemed to <br /> me that the same level of increase was appropriate. <br /> 3) Should a new Governmental Recycling Fee have to take effect only <br /> at the beginning of a Fiscal Year? Because of the likely relationship between the tipping <br /> fee and the Governmental Recycling Fee, I saw no need for such a restriction. <br /> As always, I would be happy to hear your questions and comments on any aspect <br /> of the agreement. Because the new Section 5.08 is so substantial, I would especially <br /> appreciate feedback on that Section before we re-circulate tp elected officials. <br /> Very truly yours, <br /> Robert M. Jessup Jr. <br />
