CAP GRANT AND BONDING PROJECT
WHEREAS, Todd County has made application for a capital assistance program grant (Grant); and

WHEREAS, The improvements include equipment for, and construction of the following infrastructure at the existing Todd County Transfer Station property near Browerville: a new municipal solid waste transfer station building; modification and retrofit of the existing transfer station for single sort processing for recyclables generated in Todd County and other nearby counties; construction of a new source separated organic materials composting (SSOM) facility for yard waste and organics generated in Todd County and other nearby counties; and
NOW THEREFORE BE IT RESOLVED, by the Todd County Board of Commissioners that Todd County will implement the project, provide necessary local financing, and accept and exercise the governmental powers necessary to develop and operate the Improvements.
