million per year would be received by employees involved in the <br />park. <br />Concerning Commissioner Eggert's question on composting, Mr. <br />Knigin recounted Mr. Graham's previous experience and maintained he <br />was an authority on composting. He advised that only Class A, or <br />under certain circumstances Class B, composting material would be <br />generated. Recognizing there is a big responsibility in Indian <br />River County to the food chain, they probably would want to aim for <br />Class A. <br />Commissioner Eggert inquired if they were interested in <br />operating the Landfill and, if so, how they would do it. <br />Mr. Knigin responded in the affirmative, if the Board desired <br />them to do it. <br />Mr. Graham added that PSG would be interested in operating the <br />Landfill as part of this contract or a future RFQP. <br />Commissioner Bird cited the original objectives were to extend <br />the life of the present landfill, create jobs, and reduce costs to <br />the County for disposal of taxpayers' garbage. He pointed out that <br />each of the three f irms had predicted a very wide range of how much <br />trash would end up in our Landfill. He was concerned that the <br />Landfill would fill up much faster by having "outside" garbage' <br />going into it, and wanted assurances that County residents would <br />not have to pay more for garbage disposal in the future. <br />Mr. Knigin understood and stressed the need for a tipping fee. <br />He stated that Indian River County waste alone would not satisfy 11 <br />companies. He suggested there would-be no "outside" waste in the <br />Landfill if it is segregated and goes directly to the facility <br />where it will be recycled. He acknowledged that the Board and <br />INRIVCO will have to agree to a ceiling of what will be going into <br />the Landfill, and the overload will go elsewhere. <br />Commissioner Bird emphasized that the final agreement had to <br />include some kind of tipping fee to help offset the utilization and <br />life of the Landfill. <br />County Attorney Vitunac wondered if INRIVCO had given any <br />thought to mining the existing landfill, and Mr. Graham responded <br />that landfill mining is an option which is rapidly becoming popular <br />and worth considering. <br />Commissioner Macht was curious how profits will be derived and <br />who has the authority on the tipping fees, and Mr. Lipshie <br />enumerated the various sources of income, advised that the rents <br />will be based on square feet of occupancy, and that the Board of <br />26 - <br />June 13, 1996 <br />8 o o K 98 P,� :356 <br />
