Agenda — 5 items

1. Motion to Approve the Solid Waste Delivery Agreement with Allied Waste Services of North America LLC, dba Republic Services of the Twin Cities – Inver Grove Heights. <br>This agreement provides Republic Services with a disposal rate in exchange for its long-term commitment to deliver municipal solid waste to the City's Waste Campus, including municipal solid waste from the metropolitan area that may become available through the Consent Decree process.
