Privately owned and operated: <br /> <br /> The landfill will pay property taxes and other costs as required by law or <br /> as negotiated with the local community. These costs will be paid by the <br /> user. The compensation fund could be collected for the state or county by <br /> the landfill. <br /> <br />An alternative to county ownership of a landfill may be local or municipal <br />ownership of the land with a leaseback to the county or private enterprise for <br />development and operation of the landfill. Leasing gives greater control over <br />the operation and use to the community. Leasing also allows the community to <br />collect payments in lieu of taxes for property taken off the tax rolls and <br />recover costs for other items such as litter control and local inspections. <br />Although it is unlikely the community will ever be free of liability for the <br />landfill, the state compensation fund and requirements on owners and operators <br />to provide additional financial guarantees for the landfill's"operation, <br />closure and post-closure care, would cover most if not all the liability <br />costs. <br /> <br />Local control through the leaseback arrangement could assure that nuisance <br />problems would be handled in an efficient and timely manner. Under the <br />leaseback arrangement the municipality could recover its costs for enforcing <br />ordinances controlling the activities of the landfill. OrdinanCes'would still- <br />have to be approved by the Metropolitan-Council to ensure they do not adversely <br />affect the regional waste management system. <br /> <br />JH9012-PHENV2 <br /> <br />1/18/83 <br /> <br /> <br />
