Chairman Adams understood that other presenters are not <br />allowed in the room during the normal interview process where <br />contracts are being decided and consultants are being chosen. <br />Administrator Chandler noted that the process varies depending <br />on the types of presentations. For example, architects made their <br />proposals on the new Courthouse while other architects were <br />available and sat in on the presentations. What we are looking <br />for today is background, experience and qualifications of the <br />individual firms. Questions are asked and a decision is made prior <br />to the Board authorizing detailed negotiations on contracts with - <br />respect to dollars and cents. <br />Chairman Adams introduced Utilities Director Terry Pinto who <br />advised that the presentations today will be from representatives <br />of 3 strong companies who wish to do something for us that has not <br />been done in this form any where else in the country, at least in <br />the magnitude that we want for this project. This is different <br />from a bid process in that these companies are coming to us for an <br />opportunity to invest millions of dollars to build an industrial <br />park in our community. Different than other industrial parks, this <br />park will have a great effect on the county for years and -years as <br />it relates to our solid waste problem. We will be looking for a <br />major reduction in solid waste going into our Landfill, which will <br />extend the life of the Landfill. That extension will equate to <br />literally millions of dollars, and an industrial park will create <br />a multitude of jobs and increase the county's tax base. <br />MUNICIPAL WASTE MANAGEMENT, INC. - ATLANTA, GEORGIA <br />Director Pinto introduced John H. Hayes, president and CEO, <br />who expressed his appreciation of Chairman Adams' remarks and <br />concern about fair play on their behalf. Mr. Hayes stated that MWM <br />understood the process and was accustomed to the government process <br />of evaluating information. Mr. Hayes stated that their <br />presentation stands on its own and they are happy to make it. <br />JUNE 13, 1996 2 dou 98 PACE 332 <br />
