RESOLUTION APPROVING CENTRAL IOWA WASTE MANAGEMENT ASSOCIATION'S
2009 COMPREHENSIVE SOLID WASTE MANAGEMENT PLAN UPDATE
FOR THE CITY OF AMES
WHEREAS,the Resource Recovery System is governed by the City of Ames City Council in accordance
with an approved 28-E agreement with Story County,all of the cities in Story County(with the exception of Collins
and Sheldahl),and Iowa State University; and,
WHEREAS,the agreement calls for the Resource Recovery System to provide for the disposal of the solid
waste generated by the involved agencies; and,
WHEREAS, one element of that disposal is meeting state regulations that deal with comprehensive
planning; and,
WHEREAS,in the late 1980s,the City and the members of the Resource Recovery System 28-E agreement
joined with the Boone County Landfill and its members to form the Central Iowa Waste Management Association,
and the association is an informal planning area and is appropriate since the Resource Recovery System uses the
Boone County Landfill for disposal of solid waste that can not be processed into refuse-derived fuel;and,
WHEREAS,every three years,the association is required to submit updates to its Comprehensive Plan to
the Iowa Department of Natural Resources(IDNR); and,
WHEREAS, the major element for the upcoming three years will be to review the system of handling
construction and demolition wastes,as building demolition materials are becoming an increasing element of the
waste stream; and,
WHEREAS,another element of the Comprehensive Plan Update submittal is to indicate to the IDNR the
progress made toward the state's 50%waste diversion goal; and,
WHEREAS,in order to receive input on the Plan,a draft version was sent out to each agency involved with
the Resource Recovery System and the Boone County Landfill,and following that,three public meetings were held;
and,
WHEREAS,the IDNR requires that the agencies involved with the Comprehensive Plan enact a resolution
of support,and since the City of Ames administers the 28-E agreement,that requirement can be met for all of the
agencies by the City Council's enactment of the supporting resolution.
NOW, THEREFORE,BE IT RESOLVED by the City Council of the City of Ames, Iowa,that the 2009
Comprehensive Plan Update for the Central Iowa Waste Management Association is hereby approved.
ADOPTED THIS 8'day of September,2009.
