RECITALS
Whereas, the Gallatin Solid Waste Management District (the District) was created on
May 20, 2003 to provide 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 Gallatin Solid Waste
Management District and entered into an interlocal agreement with the Gallatin Solid
Waste Management District.
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 ofthe foregoing recitals
and the terms contained herein, the parties agree as follows:

levels, fee schedules, and what items will be accepted for disposal. The City
encourages the District to keep the Story Mill Raad Convenience Station open a
minimum of f ve days per week, at least through the spring/summer/fall months
when grass companies depend on the convenience of the station. The Deposit of
compastable 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 a lined cell. The City strongly encourages the
District to not increase the tipping fee to the point that the fee would discourage
people from using the Convenience Station.
2. The City will continue to operate the compost facility (grass and brush''/a" 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

associated with collecting the funds. The funds will be submitted from the District
to the City a minimum of once per quarter.

keeping the materials in a neat pile. The District will arrange for the sale of the
white goods, and will retain all revenue received.
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 one day per month.
The land area on which the facilities are located will continue to be owned by the
City.
6. The District will accept clean woad waste (brush) from the City free of charge, as
long as the District is operating a clean woad waste 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/graveling/asphalt repair of driving aisles and parking areas; snow removal.
The City will maintain the main driving aisle surfaces from the gate an 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 on the landfill site in a manner
suitable to the City. If the District desires additional maintenance, they may do so
at their own expense.

the utility bills transferred to their name effective on July 1, 2008.
