RECITALS A. The City owns and operates a solid waste disposal area known as the Salina Landfill and legally described as: Section Seven (7), Township Fifteen (15), Range Three (3) West of the 6th P.M. in Saline County, Kansas (the "Salina SWDA") B. The City has been designated as the Solid Waste Management Planning Authority for Saline County, Kansas by interlocal agreement with Saline County dated January 24, 1994, in accordance with K.S.A. 65-3405(b). C. Consistent with and in furtherance of the Kansas waste management policy set forth in K.S.A. 65-3401, the City in Resolution No. 93-4605 adopted June 7, 1993, expressed its desire to cooperate with counties in the North Central Kansas Regional Planning Commission ("NCKRPC") area by providing a means for the disposal of waste generated in those counties in the Salina SWDA. D. Mitchell County desires to dispose municipal solid waste ("MSW") generated in Mitchell County in the Salina SWDA.

The City authorizes the County to dispose of MSW generated in the County by depositing such waste in the Salina SWDA pursuant to the terms and conditions of this Agreement. 2. Term. This Agreement shall be effective commencing June 5, 1995 and shall remain in effect until April 5, 1997, unless otherwise terminated as provided in this Agreement. 3. Charges. The charges for disposal of MSW generated inMitchell County shall be based upon the regular rates charged to Saline County residents, as those charges may be amended from time to time by resolution of the City's governing body (the "Base Rate"), plus a $2 per ton host county special charge. a. Beginning May 1,1994. The parties acknowledge that the City's governing body has set a Base Rate of $16 per ton, effective May 1, 1994.
