Third Amendment to Interlocal Agreement with Alachua County for Solid Waste Disposal (B)
This item is a request to amend the agreement between the City of Gainesville (City) and Alachua County (County) for Solid Waste Disposal Services.
Explanation
The City-County Interlocal Agreement for Solid Waste Disposal of May 12, 1998, First Amendment dated September 28, 2004, Memorandum of Understanding dated November 23, 2004, and the Second Amendment dated October 23, 2007 obligates the City to require its residential solid waste contractor to deliver all acceptable waste, collected within the City, to the County's designated facilities.

This Third Amendment to the Interlocal Agreement would extend the term of the agreement to December 31, 2018; resolve conflicts between the reporting requirements of the original agreement and the Memorandum of Understanding; affirm a commitment by the City to develop and implement contractual flow-control within its jurisdiction, to the extent allowed by law, to direct franchised haulers to deliver solid waste generated within the city limits to the County's Transfer Station; and establish an agreement between the City and County to share expertise and costs associated with the maintenance of identified closed landfills within the City limits. The term of the Third Amendment coincides with the remaining term of the County's contract to haul its waste to New River Landfill.
