Finance Committee - 03/03/2021 Page 3
Jeff LaFleur, Superintendent Solid Waste
Yes | am, thank you Mayor; Jeff LaFleur, Superintendent of Solid Waste. This change order is requested
because of some rules and added reports that we had to do for DES. As you know, when DES makes a
change we have to hire an engineer and go through all of our paperwork and make sure everything is right.
There was a list submitted with this, if you’d like me to go through it | could. Just a few of them, the big ones
that these charges are going towards is — renew the Four Hills Groundwater Management Permit. We have to
actually file for the groundwater report, they changed some of the regulations on that because of PFAS, so we
had to resubmit that. Our Federal Greenhouse Gas Report was changed also because of some changes at
DES. Another big one was we had to review and comment on the draft of our new Title V which is our air
permit for the landfill.
Mayor Donchess
Alright any questions or anyone from the Committee or the Board.
Alderman Klee
Mr. Mayor?
Mayor Donchess
Yes, Alderwoman Klee?
Alderman Klee
Thank you. So just more for the public because | can see it in the document, Mr. Lafleur, this $31,000.00 is
very specific to these remaining scope items, these reports and so on that you had to do. The Administrative
cost of these is the $31,000.00 that you are asking for the change order, is that correct?
Mr. LaFleur
Exactly. Thank you.
Alderman Klee
It is nothing specific to the actual program but just these added additional requirements that the DES put on us,
is that correct?
Mr. LaFleur
Yes exactly. | usually budget a certain amount each year for our engineering through Sanborn Head and these
are above and beyond because of DES Regulations and Changes.
Alderman Klee
Thank you.
