persists, future loads will be inspected before dumping and, if unacceptable, will
be rejected. it will be the responsibility of the Town to dispose of any rejected
loads in a suitable manner and/or pay the Authority for processing cost and/or

qualifying project plan for the unincorporated areas of the county.
(4) For cities that do not submit a plan for filling the requirements of

County. Grant funds during these two years shall be used as a
match to construct a second MRF and/or Recycling Transfer Station

grant award to cover Authority administrative costs, and 20% of the amount
received for the countywide education program.
G. The Town shall maintain accurate records of all expenditures of grant funds
and shall make these available to the Authority and DEP as provided in
Chapter 17-716.430, F.A.C. or any successor regulation.

program or to take any action which would conflict with or frustrate the
intent of this agreement as long as this agreement is in effect.

application for grants under other provisions of Chapter 403, Fla. Stat. that
are not in conflict herewith.

against and prevent scavenging and unauthorized removal of such recyclables

Proposed Interlocal Agreement with SWA
Our File No. 13147.1
Dear Rita:
I have reviewed the proposed Interlocal Agreement with the Solid
Waste Authority which you forwarded to me under memo of July 20,
1994. Please be advised that I approve same as to legal form and
sufficiency.
As to the substance of the agreement, the Town should make sure
that it is satisfied with provisions relating to costs and its
responsibilities relating to the use of the Authority's facility as
this agreement is binding through September 30, 2010. The
agreemont does not appear to address the cost of tipping fees or
for that matter even impose a cost upon the Town. I am not sure,
however, as to the meaning of paragraph 6 which states that all
solid waste collected by or on behalf of the Town shall be disposed
of at an Authority operated or permitted facility in accordance
