provide Backup information on the processing costs historically. Director Burke
stated that a Historical Summary of Yard Waste Processing information was
provided by Consolidated Resources Recovery (CRR), a company utilized by the
Solid Waste Disposal District (SWDD) for processing vegetative debris. He
summarized the conditions contained in the proposed 90 -Day Option Agreement
for Processed Vegetative Waste with Alliance BioEnergy, and noted that if Alliance
Bioenergy was successful in obtaining the former Indian River BioEnergy Center, it
would result in Alliance Bioenergy taking SWDD's processed mulch at no charge;
and therefore, providing a significant cost savings per year for the SWDD.

Agreement. With the assistance of County Attorney Dylan Reingold, County
Administrator Jason Brown clarified the time frames in question and the associated
terms in the paragraph referring to the "Exercise of the Option, the Option Term,
and the Expiration of the Option" in the 90 -Day Options Agreement.
