RESOLUTION #74-96
PITKIN COUNTY SOLID WASTE CENTER
/, -//
WHEREAS, reorganization of the Pitkin County Solid Waste Center appears
to be in the public interest, inasmuch as it appears that:
1. The existing location has a great potential for becoming a model
solid waste center;
2. The projected County wasteloading is estimated to be 37 tons per day
in 1975, rising to 150 tons per day in 1990, assuming a maximum population
growth rate not to exceed 7% per annum and a resultant equivalent daily
population of 28,250 people or 157 tons per day in 1990, whichever is less;
3. The County has obtained a comprehensive, well-analyzed management
and operational plan for the solid waste center from Briscoe-Maphis, Inc.,
in order to permit the County through good management practices to utilize
said solid waste center site for twenty years in order to accommodate the
aforesaid waste loading;
4. The adoption of the model management and system practices recommended
in said report (as herein modified) will permit such solid waste loading,
including appropriate margins for error to be accommodated in a sound fashion;
5. Section 36-23-16, C.R.S. 1963, as amended, authorizes counties to
finance such operation by ad valorem property taxation of/and by user service
charges;
6. A public hearing was held upon appropriate notice to consider said
plan and the adoption of user fees, and comments concerning modifications of
the plan and fees were made and are generally incorporated herein.
NOW THEREFORE THE BOARD OF COMMISSIONERS OF PITKIN COUNTY HEREBY RESOLVES
as follows:
1. Adoption of Management Plan. That the Briscoe-Maphis Management Plan,
as modified herein, is adopted as setting forth appropriate minimum management
standards for the solid waste center site, and specifically the recommendations
listed within Section III of said plan.

City and County.
Reviewed at a regular meeting of the Board of Commissioners of Pitkin
