III LEGISLATION
1. Discussion of Contractinq for Solid Waste Services
Solid Waste Superintendent Jones discussed problems
associated with Landfill regulations and operations. He
then offered options available to the City regarding the
level of contracted services from the private sector.
Committee members discussed the merits of each proposal,
including using compost material for cover and the viability
of contracting the Landfill operations.
It was the consensus of the Committee to proceed with Option
1 for a short-term solution, with material being blown into
the pit, not composted, for 1, 3, and 5 years. For a long-
term solution, it was the consensus of the Committee to
develop an RFP covering variable levels of service, up to
contracting all solid waste management activities. The RFP
will be brought back to the UAC prior to advertising.
2. Daishowa Cost Estimates

members regarding cost estimates on Daishowa project and

services of a consultant to assist in the design.
The Committee's consensus was to allow the Light Department
to prepare a Request for Qualifications for design of the
transmission line and substation. The purpose would be to
begin a screening process of consultants. No contract would
be approved until the Mill expansion and permits are
approved.
