Due to landscaping and environmental <br />problems t~at exist, Waste Management decided to proceed and <br />Council ca, not deny anyone their rights to ask for a Conditional <br />Use Permit~and to be heard. Mayor Gamec stated that as far as <br />he is concerned the contract is excellent because it does protect <br />everyone; ~ouncil was not looking at money when they looked at <br />the contract -- we were taking into consideration liability and <br />pollution.i This contract, in most .cases, doubles the protection <br />we can ge~ with all the State agencies put together (Waste <br />Manag~men~ Act, Compensation and Mitigation, County Closure and <br />Post C~°s~re).
