Re: Redirection of the Villaee of Elk Grove Villaee's Waste
Dear Mayor Johnson:
This letter describes our understandings with respect to the delivery of
waste to the Solid Waste Agency of Northern Cook County (the "Agency") by the
Village of Elk Grove Village (the "Village").
At the request of the Village, the Agency hereby directs the Village,
beginning June 4, 2001, to deliver its Financing Member System Waste (as
defined in the 1992 Project Use Agreement between the Agency and the Village,
and referred to herein as "Waste") to the Agency at the Groot Transfer Station
located at 1759 Elmhurst Road, Chicago, Illinois (the "Groot Facility") instead of
to the Agency at the Agency's Wheeling Township Transfer Station in Glenview,
Illinois.
This action will save the Agency approximately $0.31 for every ton of
Waste redirected to the Groot Facility, and the Village understands that those
savings will accrue to the Agency and be used for the benefit of the Agency's
members.
The Village agrees that it will accept full responsibility for any up -front
costs incurred by the Agency as a result of the redirection of its Waste to the
Agency at the Groot Facility. Specifically, if the Agency requests real-time data
regarding delivery totals for Waste delivered to the Groot Facility from the
Village rather than next day Waste delivery totals, the Village will pay for all of
the costs associated with installing and operating the equipment necessary to meet
such request. At this time, the Agency is not requiring real-time data and there
are no start-up costs to the Village.
