Item #8: Consider an interlocal agreement for participation in a regional household
hazardous waste collection program. Paul Isham, the Town attorney, gave
the Board several reasons why he is recommending the Board not enter into
this contract with the main reason being that the Town would be held
proportionally liable for any accident in any City that entered into this
agreement. If the Board participated in this program the Town would have to
agree to commit to the levying of an ad valorem tax to pay for its' share of
any joint liability that may accrue under this program. The Town would be
committing to the possibility of having an ad valorem tax sometime in the
future. Motion by Alderman Loeser, seconded by Alderman Bush, to not
participate in this agreement.
Motion carried unanimously.
