FEB 1��2 BOOK 8 PDGF 80 Commissioner Lyons stated he felt uncomfortable but the record was clear; he had no valid reason for not voting for transfer of the franchise. Commissioner Wodtke noted that there was nothing in this agreement stating that they will be going to our dump; also we must know what the charges would be. He stressed he would not vote for an outright franchise without renegotiating it. Commissioner Wodtke stated that he was not happy with Waste Management. He would like to have the opportunity to negotiate with them and put some things in writing in order to protect the County and the Landfill. Chairman Scurlock stated that he had some questions in his mind, although he had yet to see any documentation that anything was wrong with this company. He would vote in favor of a transfer but would want to make sure, through the negotiation process, that any potential problems would be addressed, such as "duration," and to protect our ability in the future to handle waste in the County. Discussion ensued. Attorney Brandenbug suggested using the phrase "tentative approval" in the Motion. Motion was made by Commissioner Lyons, seconded by Commissioner Bird, that the Board authorize tentative approval of the transfer of the franchise agreement subject to successful modificdtion of the franchise, and an update of it to be presented to the Board within 120- days. Commissioner Lyons personally thought that the franchise was the way to go in this transaction. Commissioner Fletcher stated he would like to see other alternatives used. He stated he would vote against the Motion based on the single line direction. Attorney Brandenburg pointed out that the discussion involved having either a contract, a franchise, and the third alternative was a licensing ordinance.
