TRANSMITTAL LETTER FOR BOARD MEETING OF MARCH 16, 2017
COMMITTEE ON MAINTENANCE AND OPERATIONS
Mr. David St. Pierre, Executive Director
Title
Request for authority to set initial price for the sale of compost produced by the Metropolitan Water Reclamation District
Body
Dear Sir:
As part of the District’s resource recovery initiatives, we began producing a compost product at our facilities in 2016. In addition to reducing disposal costs, this high quality soil amendment is valuable and it is our desire to begin selling this product this coming spring at an initial price of $10 per cubic yard and adjust the price as warranted by market conditions.
Authority is being sought from the Board of Commissioners to establish the introductory price of $10 per cubic yard and for flexibility to adjust the price based on market conditions. If a price adjustment is warranted, the Board of Commissioners will be notified in a timely manner.
Requested, John P. Murray, Director of Maintenance and Operations, BAP
Recommended, David St. Pierre, Executive Director
Respectfully Submitted, David J. Walsh, Chairman Committee on Maintenance and Operations
Disposition of this agenda item will be documented in the official Regular Board Meeting Minutes of the Board of Commissioners for March 16, 2017
