A RESOLUTION AUTHORIZING THE MAYOR TO EXECUTE A SOLID WASTE DISPOSAL
INTERLOCAL AGREEMENT BETWEEN THE CITY OF SALINA AND MITCHELL COUNTY, KANSAI
llaeagr.
In June 1993, the City Commission adopted a Resolution establishing policy on acceptance of out-of-county
solid waste at the city of Salina landfill (copy attached). The Commission established guidelines and
authorized the City Manager to negotiate interlocal agreements with any of the counties in the North Central
Kansas Regional Planning Commission (NCKRPC) area.
An agreement has been finalized with Mitchell County (Beloit).
The city of Salina landfill has adequate capacity and operating capability to accept the solid waste generated
within Mitchell County in our region. Economies of scale make this an'angement cost-effective and in the
best interest of Mitchell County and the city of Salina/Saline County.
Actual annual Mitchell County tonnages disposed of in Saline County are expectedto be relatively small.
There is an economic incentive for waste reduction in outlying counties prior to transfer to our landfill. In
addition, some waste from the county may be disposed of in other allowable locations. After this agreement,
Salina will be serving the regional counties of Cloud, Ottawa, Lincoln, Ellsworth, Republic and Mitchell.
