Board Member Steven Johnson requested having the processing and the hauling split out of the report and listed as separate line items. Board Member Steven Hamilton asked about the District's fuel expense. Susan Dellinger responded the fuel is still under the budgeted amount even with the increase in costs.

Motion carried (Motion #0&-061848-OZl. 3.i. Consideration of the P:+eliminary FY 2009 District Budget for the Bozeman Convenience Site/Household Hazardous Facility - ~233,S3I~- Tom Miller, District Manager District Manager Tam Miller presented the District FY 2009 Budget for the Bateman Convenience Site and Household Hazardous Facility for $233,631. He reported he depreciated the site over 5 years instead of I 5 years. He reviewed the expenses for the various object codes for the site: telephone, T-1 line, Kocky Mountain Security Contract, and the hauling contract under purchased services. He reviewed under Improvements (900) the costs associated are for the purchase and installation of a new scale, containers, gravel, and other miscellaneous improvements they might find once the District takes over the operation. The Board discussed the pros and cons of installing a new scale. In summary, comments against purchasing a new scale were that the cost of the scale outweighed the benefits of installing one at this point in the operation. The scale was a big part of the expense that did not appear to be necessary because the tipping fees are based on volume rather than tonnage. There were ingress and egress issues on placing a new scale on the site. The "Go little as you grow" and "pay as you go, is a wiser decision far the start-up of the new enterprise. Comments for the purchase new scale were that having a scale would give the District and the customers a consistent and accurate accounting of the tannage and business conducted. It gives legitimacy to the operation. The way it is done at Logan should be done at Bozeman, that way there is not argument. The customers are use to being charged a fee based on the weight. It will avoid any disputes by customers rather than a scale operator estimating the cost each tinte. The intention is to build up the site, attract mare customers by providing more services than what has been in the past. They intend to install a Z wall so eventually they can accept more light construction materials to not only increase revenues but provide good service to a variety of types of clientele. They want to accommodate as many people as they can aside from the commercial haulers. They want to do it right the first time. The location is a good place for a convenient site. The site might be there for 30 years. The Board decided to take a vote. Gallatin County Solid Waste Management District June 18, 200&, Minutes 3 Boarut Memberlady May moved to approve the expenses in the Bozeman Convenience Site 2009 Budget for the purchase and installation of a new scale at the Bozeman Convenience Site as presented.

He reported at the Logan Landfill there has been an issue with late vehicles. The District is trying to keep employees overtime and comp time down. The District has accommodated late commercial trucks if they call ahead to the scalehause operator. The scalehause takes the last load across the scales at 4:00 p.m. to get the cell emptied and the customers weighed out by 4:30 p.m. At that time, the operators and scalehouse employees start their closing procedures. The issue is that the scalehouse operator opens the gate for the commercial late trucks, but others get turned away. The landfill would like to accommodate any vehicle if they come in after 4:00, with notice that if they cannot get emptied and back out to the outbound scale by 4:30 p.m., they will be assessed an additional $10/tan for commercial, and $5,00 per ton for non- commercial. A11 vehicles would be required to be checked out no later than 5:00 p,m. They want td discourage not encourage late vehicles by attaching the appropriate late fees to their tipping fees. The late fee would be implemented July 1st, the start of the new fiscal year. The Board discussed the issue. They recommended putting a sign that has the hours of operation down at the frontage road entrance by the interstate. The Board agreed it would be appropriate to charge a fee, not only to deter late vehicles, but to recover the costs of the employee's having to stay and accommodate the late trucks. It was noted the landfill should keep a firm closing time because it is a safety issue. Board Member R. Stephen White moved to accept the recommendation far imposing a late fee for vehicles dispvsirzg after closure time of 4:30 p.m. at the Logan landfill as offuly I, ZOOS.

Compaction Site Chairman Bruce Hanson reported he has been working on developing a compaction site separate from the convenient sites. The trash from the Bozeman Convenience Site if compacted at a compaction site prior to being transported to Logan would be a savings. The compaction site would be open to the commercial haulers. The location of the site will be important. He is looking at the triangle between Belgrade, Bozeman, and Faur-Corners. He would like to work an a presentation far the next meeting. The Board agreed to set up a committee to begin researching the idea. There are many things that will have to be considered. One recommendation was to consider segregating the waste stream for resell before compaction similar to the way the West Yellowstone Transfer Station operates. Light construction does not have to ga into the lined cell. The site location that can accommodate the needed equipment/buildings will be a key component. Gallatin County Solid Waste Maxiagement District June 18, 2008, Minutes 7 Lee Nuss and Lance Johnson of L & L Site Services, Inc. volunteered to be on the committee to give input far the commercial haulers. Board Member R. Steven White agreed to sit on committee but did not want to be the Chair. Storm Shirley agreed to set, u~a, the first meeting and chair it. He will be too busy to be in charge of the committee. He will contact Andy Krause. He applied to be the Belgrade representative on the District Board. He will see if he is interested serving on the committee as a citizen representative. Board Member Steven Johnson agreed to be on the committee. Board Member Dave Schmidt said he will try to assist the committee in a limited capacity because it is the busy season for his company. He will be available more during the winter months. The Board discussed on trying to develop some goals for the committee: locating a goad location where land is available to purchase; cost of land; equipment/building design specifications & cost; financial analysis based on materials coming in the site verses cost at Logan verses value of recycling, etc. 7. District Manager 11Zepart -Tom Miller District Manager Tom Miller passed out a document titled, "LEED Project Certification." He reported it is an overview of a program far building contractors that earn credit far demonstrating they build meeting green building and performance measures. They earn points for recycling instead of landfilling. He received a request by guests in attendance tonight, to provide an area where they can recycle their separated clean wood. There is a financial incentive for the District to provide the opportunity. Starting July 1, the landfill will accommodate the request. The landfill will be implementing a clean wood waste diversion program. The landfill is limited on space, but a site has been prepared for it by the Class 4 area. Lee Nuss, L & L Site Services, Inc., responded he gets a lot of calls from builders who are pushing for the certification. He wants to be the leader, but does not have the property to accommodate the program. The wood will be a good outlet for hog fuel. Board Member Steven Hamilton responded the Townsend school district uses the wood waste system to heat their school at a substantial savings. The Board discussed the program agreeing it would be a good program that is in-line with the industry. Saving air space in the cell will benefit the District financially. Wood is an easy market, Discussion centered around lowering the cost far disposing of clean wood to give mare incentive to the haulers. The Board concurred for now, they would wait until they can get an idea of what their casts will be far equipment, processing, transportation, etc. and see what revenue the fuel will generate. They would limit the clean wood to commercial Gallatin County Solid Waste Management District .lone 18, 200$, Minutes S haulers. It will be important to keep it monitored because the clean wood has to remain free of contaminants for processing it into hog fuel. District Manager Tom Miller reported he will have an Alternate Daily Cover Demonstration at the landfill on June Z~th or 25tH. He will email the Board with the date and time. • District Manager Tom Miller reported a demonstration of a litter vacuum truck is scheduled for Friday at 10:30 a.m. • District Manager Tom Miller reported he will be taking a trip with Board Member Jody May to Ennis to look at a small size compactor.

He plans an soliciting a variety of deliverables. The committee can compare and contrast what they want to do such as cost per load/ton/yardlprovide containers temporarily or permanently, roll offs, etc. Board Member Steven Johnson responded the hauling at the Bozeman Canvenience site will begin July 1. He questioned the District being able to have an RFP out and a bid back and acted upon by July l st. District Manager Tom Miller responded he does not have to do an RFP to purchased services under $50,000. The FY 2009 budget for the hauling contract for the Bozeman Convenience site is $26,000. Chairman Bruce Hanson responded that the District has the option of the District hauling it. The District might want to research investing in a front-load packer. 8. Recycle Program Coordinator Report -Wayne Shelton Recycling Coordinator Wayne Shelton submitted a Recycle Commodity Inventory (adjustments were made to it since the Board packets were received); Recycling Program Balance Sheet as of May 31, ZOO8; Profit and Loss as of May 2008 (previously discussed and approved under 3.4. Financial Report); He Hated they are on a schedule far the payables to the District. The commodities sold due to the District are listed as inventory on the balance sheet. The revenue is estimated because the processor sends different commodities to the market at different times. If the market changes the revenue owed to the District changes. The adjustments will be made as payment is received. Cardboard has lost revenue due to the containers not being in place because of the issue the City had with the bins. The bins are now fixed. The program has rented cardboard bins from Four-Corners Recycling. Dave Leverett, Four-Corners Recycling, reported he is two months into the processing and hauling. He has Hat gotten paid for the hauling. The bills have now been submitted for payment. He submitted checks for the commodities processed. They agreed to deposit them when the hauling contract is paid by the County, so he is not financing the District. The revenue received from the recycling program is approximately $ T 7,300 for the first month. Just Gallatin Gallatin County Solid Waste Management District June 18, 2008, Minutes 9 County is up IO% shave Headwaters from the start. The District would have paid Headwaters $10,000 this month. The Board discussed the program. They agreed site development depended on bins. If more bins are needed, they will have to purchase mare. If needed, the financials for the program will need to reflect those changes. It was estimated the program startup would pay far itself in about fourteen months in comparison to the money paid to Headwaters each month. The contracts need to get in place so vendors will be paid. They agreed the cardboard bins need to get in place. Chairman Bruce Hanson responded the District will give the Recycling program one year before asking Por re-payment for the startup of the program. After one- year, then it will be put on a 5- I O year schedule. The object of the program is to get the volume up. 8.1. Site Agx+eementa Recycle Coordinator Wayne Shelton reported the Belgrade site is not in place. He would like to find other sites in the Belgrade area. Manhattan's old site, the person is on vacation. The Big Sky and Amsterdam sites are increasing in volume. Tentative approval has been given to put a site up at the Valley Ice Garden location. It is leased by Cardinal Distributing. Dave Leverett wanted the Board to know that the Big Sky site was donated by the generosity of Gene Cook. The Exxon. station in Big Sky, owned by Story Distributing, is very supportive of the recycling program. The Board agreed a thank you letter should be sent to Gene Cavk. Recycling Coordinator Wayne Shelton agreed to get one written and sent. 8.2. Hauling Contracts The Faur~Corners Hauling contract is not completed because of their concern regarding prevailing wage requirements in the contract that they did not know about when responding to the RFP. Dave I,everett responded he is dealing with the State on the issue and hopes to resolve it to get the contract in place. Recycle Coordinator Wayne Shelton reported the City of Bozeman Hauling contract is in their legal department. He worked with Steve Jahnsvn on issues regarding the Saturday, Sunday, holiday pickups in the contract with overtime and their RFP did not call for Sunday pickups.

O. Box 1230, Bozeman, MT 59771-1230. RECITALS Whereas, the Gallatin Solid•Waste Management District (the District) was created on May 20, 2003 to pmvide structured management of the Logan Landfill and any future solid waste management systems in the District; to provide a distinct entity under Montana law with the financial resources to fairly and properly carry out waste management duties and responsibilities; and to provide an opportunity to perform alternative methods of collection and disposal of solid waste, such as recycling and composting (County Resolution 2003-054); Whereas, in the fall of 2007, the City of Bozeman joined the Gallatua Solid Waste Management District and entered into an Interlocal Agreement with the Gallatin Solid Waste Management Distract. Whereas, the Interlocal Agreement governing the City joining the District provides that the purchase and installation of a Convenience and Household Hazardous Waste Station will be made by the City and will be located at the City's current landfill and that the City and District will negotiate a long term agreement to have the District pay for the operational costs of maintaining this facility once the City closes its existing Class II cell, This provision of the Interlocal Agreement is to be completed not later than June 30, 2008. NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED, inconsideration of the foregoing recitals and the terms contained herein, the parties agree as follows: 1. On July1, 2008, the District will assume all operations and maintenance of the Convenience Station located on the City of Bozeman Landfill property at 2143 Story Mill Road. The District shall determine the hours of operation, staffing Page 1 levels, fee schedules, and what items will be accepted for disposal. The City encourages the District to keep the Story Mill Road Convenience Station open a minimum of five days per week, at least through the spring/summe~r/fall months when grass companies depend on the convenience of the station. The Deposit of compostable materials into the compost facility will reduce the volume of trash disposed of in the lined cell at the Logan Landfill, saving lined landfill space for items that must be disposed of in alined cell. The City strongly encourages the District to not increase the tipping fee to the paint that the fee would discourage people from using the Convenience Station. 2. The City will continue to operate the compost facility (grass and brush 1" or less in diameter) located on the Landfill property. The District will collect the tipping fee from compost customers and will submit 80% of the amount collected to the City. The remaining 20% will be retained by the District for their expenses associated with collecting the fiands. The funds will be submitted from the District to the City a minimum of once per quarter. 3. The City will continue to operate and maintain the white goods area located on the Landfill Property. All revenue from the white goods area will be transmitted to the District from the City a minimum of once per quarter. 4. The District will operate the Household Hazardous Waste (HHW) facility at the Story Mill Road Convenience Station in the same manner it is being operated now. As such, the HHW facility will be opened at the Story Mill Convenience Station location a minimum of ane day per month. S. The land area on which the facilities are located will continue to be owned by the City. 6. The District will accept clean wood waste (brush) from the City free of charge, as long as the District is operating a clean wood_wa'ste collection program. 7. The District will ensure the land in and adjacent to the convenience station operations will be adequately maintained, including, but not necessarily limited to: litter pickup; grass and weed mowing; watering of trees and other vegetation; grading/gravelinglasphalt repair of driving aisles and parking areas; snow removal. 8. The City will maintain the main driving aisle surfaces fmm the gate on Story Mill Road to the white goods and clean wood areas, including asphalt repair and snow removal, as well as the fences and electronic gate an the landfill site in a manner suitable to the City. If the District desires additional maintenance, they may do so at their own expense. 9. The District will assume all utility charges related to these facilities and will have the utility bills transferred to their name effective on July 1, 2008. Page 2 10. The District will assume all maintenance and upkeep on the scale building(s) and restroom facilities. 11. The District understands that the scale is no longer certified. If the District chooses to install a new scale, it shall be at the expense of the District and will become an asset of the District. 12. The computer, with WasteWorks hardware, printer, and cash register located in the scale house will remain in the scale house for the District's use, As this equipment wears out, needs replaced, or needs repaired, the District will replace/repeat the equipment at no expense to the City, and the new equipment will then be an asset of the District. 13. If at any time the District abandons the operation of the Convenience facility, the buildings, facility and area will be left in a well maintained condition. 14. The District will restrict employee access to the facility to site operation times, and will advise City if Board employees will be on-site during hows the facility is not open to the public. 15.
