Title
Joint resolution approving an Intergovernmental Agreement between Lake County and the Solid Waste Agency of Lake County.
Staff Summary
· The Solid Waste Agency of Lake County approached Lake County to initiate discussions regarding “untangling” the collection and transfer of the Affected Area Compensation Fee that is collected by SWALCO and then transferred to Lake County and the local surcharge fee that is collected by Lake County and a portion is then transferred to SWALCO.
· The key terms of the intergovernmental agreement are as follows: SWALCO will collect 75% of the local surcharge ($0.9525) and Lake County/Health Department 25% ($0.3175). If the local surcharge limit of $1.27 per ton is lowered or raised by legislation the collection ratio would continue to be 75/25. If this ratio is no longer considered appropriate the parties may agree to alter it.
· SWALCO will receive approximately $1,866,221 of the surcharge balance and Lake County/Health Department will retain $1,100,000 in the County’s Solid Waste Management Tax Fund.
· Any new host fees received from other waste management facilities in Lake County would be split 75 % to SWALCO and 25% to the County. This would not apply if the County was the siting authority for a pollution control facility as these will be negotiated on a case-by-case basis.
· Any new statutorily authorized fees would also be split using the 75/25 ratio. The two 1994 intergovernmental agreements that SWALCO and Lake County entered into will be voided.
