AGENDA ITEM #5: Decision and action on composting/co- composting proposal. Ed Ilschner outlined an alternative agreement between BVSWMA and the City of Bryan. Basically, the agree- ment provides that the composting program would be developed as an individual program by the City of Bryan and monitored by BVSWMA for 12-18 months to determine the success of the program. After the 12-18 months period, BVSWMA could decide to purchase the operation. Other points of the agreement were that the facility would have an "open gate" policy and a $6.00 tipping fee would be imposed. The City of Bryan would lease the tub grinder for the 12-18 months. BVSWMA would fund marketing costs for the operation and if the Board decided to purchase the Pleasant Hill operation, these costs would be credited back to BVSWMA. If not, the funds would be paid back to BVSWMA. The scale and scale house are to remain at the Pleasant Hill site.

Tom Brymer made the motion to proceed with the implementation of the agreement and the processing of any documents necessary. Ed Ilschner seconded. The Board unanimously approved.
