Fiscal Note
The Negotiated Agreement calls for annual payments to the City of $125,000, starting the year that the facility begins to accept waste (expected to be in 2028). Payments would be prorated in the first year and increase by 2% each year thereafter. The annual payment is a landfill siting fee and compensation payment, and, in addition to impacts caused by the landfill on City services, is intended to compensate the City’s for impacts on the golf operations of the adjoining Yahara Hills Golf Course. Payments will be deposited in the general fund. The negotiated agreement also provides future payments from the County for any daily lost rounds of golf attributable to odor complaints or safety concerns at the landfill. Future payments for refunded greens fees as provided under the Agreement shall be deposited in the golf enterprise account.
