those counties in the Salina SWDA.
D. Ottawa County desires to dispose municipal solid waste ("MSW") generated
in Ottawa County in the Salina SWDA.
IN CONSIDERATION of the mutual promises and covenants set forth herein, the
parties agree as follows:

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 August 4, 1994 and shall
remain in effect until April 5, 1997, unless otherwise terminated as provided in this

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 rate. The parties acknowledge that the City's governing body
has set a Base Rate of $16 per ton, effective May 1, 1994. Consequently, beginning
August 5, 1994, Ottawa County MSW will be received by the Salina SWDA for a
charge of $18 per ton ($16 Base Rate plus $2 special charge).
b. Future changes. While the Base Rate may change during the term of this
Agreement, the $2 per ton special charge shall remain the same throughout the term
of this Agreement. For example, if the City'sgoverning body increases the Base Rate

would be $19 per ton ($17 Base Rate plus $2 special charge).
4. Vehicle type. The charges outlined in paragraph 3 shall apply to all MSW
generated in the County for disposal in the Salina SWDA, regardless of whether the MSW
is delivered to the Salina SWDA by privately owned vehicle, commercial vehicle, or county
vehicle.
5. Billing arrangement. At the written request of the County, the City shall provide
the County with a monthly billing statement for charges incurred as a result of the disposal
of MSW generated in Ottawa County delivered to the SWDA by haulers specified by the

MSW generated in Ottawa County to arrange for payment of the applicable charges with
the City. In either case the charges shall be payable according to terms established by the
City's Department of Finance.
6. Salina SWDA rules and regulations. Ottawa County MSW shall be handled in the
same manner and subject to the same ordinances, rules and regulations as apply to Saline
County MSW. Any party transporting Ottawa County MSW to the Salina SWDA for
disposal pursuant to this Agreement shall be deemed to have submitted to the City's
jurisdiction for purposes of enforcement of the City's ordinances, rules and regulations
relating to the disposal of solid waste in the Salina SWDA. Any party transmitting only
Ottawa County MSW to the Salina SWDA shall be exempt from the City's permit
requirement for disposal of waste originating outside Saline County.

handling, equipment, or facilities not currently used in the City's operation of the Salina
SWDA, the County shall be responsible for all costs associated with that special handling,
