Kobza stated that the agreement between the City of Wisconsin Rapids, the Town of Sigel, and the Town of Seneca, and Advanced Disposal Services Cranberry Creek Landfill, LLC was discussed. A motion was made by Oilschlager stating that he moves that the Cranberry Creek Landfill Expansion Local Committee approve the negotiated agreement with Advanced Disposal Services Cranberry Creek Landfill, LLC in the form that the Local Committee reviewed today subject to any non-substantive changes made to finalize the agreement and the Wisconsin Department of Natural Resources issuing its approval of the plan of operation for the landfill expansion, and authorize the committee chair to sign the final agreement on behalf of the committee once the DNR approval has been issued. That motion was seconded by Zacher. Motion carried. E. It was noted that the Plan of Operation still needs to be approved by the WI DNR. Once that is done, involved municipalities will need to approve the agreement. It is hoped that this can be completed by February 17. If special meetings need to be called, involved municipalities agreed that they could call special meetings to handle. Kobza drafted a resolution for the boards of these municipalities to use to approve the agreement once the Plan of Operations from the DNR is approved. Once everything is completed, the document of this agreement may be viewed on the State of WI Waste Facility Siting Board website. F. Maps were distributed to each of the involved municipalities that showed the location of residents that will receive sociological payments. G. Eric Hanson from Waste Management joined the meeting at 9:00AM. Kobza informed him that the committee has approved the proposed agreement. Hanson also stated the Plan of Operations has not yet been approved by the DNR. He feels that it will be soon completed. He asked questions of the committee: Who is the contact person for the Standing Committee, when does/how often will that committee plan to meet suggesting it should be done quarterly, and if the information for that committee could be distributed via electronic means. He was given the contact person for that committee (Sue Schill, Attorney for City of Wisconsin Rapids). He stated that finalization for the sociological payments will be completed soon. He entertained other questions from members of this committee. H. Adjourn – Oilschlager made a motion to adjourn at 9:25AM with a second from Nieman. Motion carried.
