<br /> 84-287 Letter from the City Manager recommending adoption of a resolution ro enter
<br />into an agreement with Southeastern Public Service Authority of Virginia for use and support
<br />of a solid waste disposal system.
<br /> "As you know, last month SPSA made a major breakthrough by securing the necessary munic-
<br />ipal approvals for the long awaited Refuse Derived Facility (RDF Plant). With theses sign-
<br />off~, it:'now appears that construction of the facility can be initiated in the very near
<br />future.
<br />
<br /> As a result of these actions, SPSA has requested that the site of the City's Incinerator
<br />be used oF a temporary basis as its transfer station. SPSA has agreed in concept ro the
<br />tached cdntract prepared by the City Attorney's Office which requires that SPSA absorb all e::~
<br />costs associated with improvements to the site, along with demolition, once operations are
<br />terminated (to include demolition of the City Incinerator).
<br />
<br /> Until this recent breakthrough in negotiations, it appeared that a permanent transfer
<br />station would have been required to serve the regional landfill. By utilizing the incinerator
<br />smte on a temporary basis, SPSA can give strong consideration to locating the permanent ~aci-
<br />lity as part of the RDF plant.
<br />
<br /> Therefore, it is recommended that the attached resolution be approved authorizing the
<br /> City Manager to enter into an agreement with SPSA for establishment of a temporary transfer
<br /> station at the existing City Incinerator."
<br />
<br /> On motion of Mr. Beamer and seconded by Mr. Whitlow, the following resolution was adopted
<br /> and by the following vote:
<br />
<br /> ~A RESOLUTION AUTHORIZING THE CITY MANAGER TO ENTER INTO AN AGREEMENT WITH
<br /> SOUTHEASTERN PUBLIC SERVICE AUTHORITY OF VIRGINIA FOR USE AND SUPPORT OF A
