Eagle Waste would retain all revenues and risk associated with the sale of recyclables. All of the above quotes have fuel surcharges which are adjusted monthly based on government index. Chairman Long did check out references given from the companies. All of the companies wanted what was best for the town. There were advantages for using the local Vilas Hwy G Landfill versus Oneida County’s Landfill. We are co-owners in the Landfill Venture Group of Vilas County. Maintenance for our compacter was discussed as well as different ways to recycle and the different bins to use. A locked in flat fee for one year was desirable. MOTION/LONG: SECOND/SPENCER: To make agreement with Eagle Waste, Inc. of Eagle River, Allen Alby for the quoted price of $13,664.40 (plus fuel surcharge) for one year. MOTION CARRIED. Chairman Long thanked Veolia, Inc. and Charlie Evenhouse for their service over the years. But felt the board needed what was most cost effective service for Boulder Junction. The timetable for the new carrier would be taking over in approximately three weeks. The town would assess the situation again next year. Should there be any problems, there would be two other good companies out there looking for the business of the town. Resort of the Woods: Vilas County Zoning & Planning is requesting comments on the Petition from J. Keysers, President, to amend official WI Wetland Inventory Map for purpose of providing access to building site behind wetland. MOTION/LONG: SECOND/SCHUENEMANN: Town has no objection to this request, if the county determines at the hearing on August 7th that the neighbors do not object. MOTION CARRIED. MOTION/SCHUENEMANN: SECOND/SPENCER: To adjourn the meeting at 8:15 p.m. MOTION CARRIED. Respectfully submitted by Lois J. Smith, Clerk/Treasurer
