15.B.4. REQUEST TO RENEW LEASE BY MWI CORPORATION
Commissioner Davis opened discussion on whether it was prudent to grant the request of
MWI Corporation to renew their lease on landfill property located on Oslo Road for fifteen
years. He added that the County's future was uncertain as to the status of the landfill and
possible landfill expansion, and fifteen years is a long time He noted, too, that the subject area
could be a tremendous asset to economic development, and he was uncertain if this was the
highest and best use for the land.

Administrator Baird elaborated on MWI's proposed expansion plans, which included
constructing an additional building and hiring more staff.
Discussion continued, with input from Himanshu Mehta, Managing Director, Solid
Waste Disposal District, regarding MWI's future plans.
Administrator Baird recommended renewing the lease for 5 years, and reevaluating if and
when MWI comes forward with concrete plans.
Attorney Polackwich agreed that it made no sense to approve an extension for an
expansion that may not materialize.
Director of Utilities Erik Olson addressed Commissioner O'Bryan's query on what
happens at the conclusion of the fifteen -year lease period if MWI is granted their request.
Chairman Solari suggesting authorizing a 5 -year lease with the flexibility for amendment
should circumstances dictate.
ON MOTION by Commissioner O'Bryan, SECONDED
by Commissioner Davis, the Board unanimously
authorized staff to authorize a 5 -year extension of the
lease with MWI Corporation with the flexibility to do
something else should the applicant present more concrete
plans for expansion.
