FAX (913) 826-7244 January 25, 1995 Darrell E. Miller Jewell County Attorney P.O. Box 344 Mankato, KS 66956 Re: Solid Waste Interlocal Agreement Dear Mr. Miller: Thank you for your recent letter regarding the possibility of the city of Salina and Jewell County entering into an interlocal agreement. Jewell County would meet our guidelines for such an agreement allowing disposal of municipal solid waste at our landfill. I have enclosed for your information, a copy of the agreement between our City and Republic County. An agreement with Jewell County would be substantially the same. At this point, it would be helpful for us to know your estimated annual tonnage, number of loads per week, type of vehicles and similar information if available. Our current landfill tipping fee is $16 per ton, plus a $2 per ton special"host" charge for non-Saline County waste. We do not expect a rate change in 1995. Any agreement would have an ending date of April 1997. All our interlocal solid waste agreements end then. We expect to renew the agreements then, with appropriate renegotiation or revisions if any. " , Darrell E. Miller Page 2 Please let me know when you may wish to proceed. At that time, I will have our City Attorney, Greg Bengtson (823-6325), prepare an agreement for consideration by each governing body. Our other agreements with our neighboring North Central Kansas counties are working very well. We look forward to cooperating with you in a similar way. Sincerely, ~k~ Dennis M. Kissinger City Manager Enclosures cc: Greg Bengtson, City Attorney Frank Weinhold, Director of General Services Michael Morgan, Deputy City Manger ..
