If Town fails to deliver a notice for the period in question, Town shall be deemed to have waived its right to require such meeting and/or inspection of the Property until the next anniversary date referred to above; provided, however, that such waiver shall not limit any other right of Town under this Agreement or Applicable Law to oversee and inspect the operation of the Landfill and Developer's other obligations hereunder. (c) If, based on any meeting and/or inspection referred to in Section 12(a) or lib) above, Town determines that Developer is not in compliance with any of its obligations under this Agreement, Town shall notify Developer in writing of such non-compliance, whereupon Developer shall have thirty (30) days to correct such non-compliance before Town may find Developer to be in default under this Agreement; provided, however, that if Developer reasonably requires more than thirty (30) days to correct such non-compliance, Developer shall have such additional time as is reasonably necessary to correct such non-compliance before Town may find Developer to be in default under this Agreement. Upon Developer completing any such corrective work, Developer shall permit Town representatives to inspect such work to confirm that such non-compliance has been corrected. 6 (d) Developer shall obtain prior to the Opening day, and shall maintain during the Operation Life, a performance bond in the amount of $100,000 securing Developer's performance obligations under this Agreement.

Following delivery of such notice, Town may deliver written notice to Developer of Town's election to accept such dedication so long as such notice is delivered prior to the Closing Day. If Town elects by written notice to Developer to accept such dedication, then (i) Developer shall thereafter promptly undertake such actions at its sole cost to formally dedicate the East Branch of Brawley Wash to Town subject to Developer reserving rights during the Operation Life to conduct periodic maintenance or repair required on any berms, levees or other improvements made by Developer in or around the East Branch of Brawley Wash. Developer shall undertake such periodic maintenance and repairs at its sole cost, subject to being granted reasonable and timely access to the East Branch of Brawley Wash to conduct such work during the Operation Life. If Town fails to give any written notice to Developer of 7 Town's acceptance of the dedication of the East Branch of Brawley Wash, Developer shall remain obligated to undertake such periodic maintenance and repairs during the Operation Life. 17. Force Maieure. In addition to any specific provisions of this Agreement, the performance by either party hereunder shall not be deemed to be in default where there is a delay in performance caused by or resulting from war, insurrection, terrorism, strikes, lockouts, riots, floods, earthquakes, fires, casualties, acts of God, acts of the public enemy, epidemics, quarantine restrictions, freight embargos, lack of transportation, governmental restrictions or priority, unusually severe weather, inability of any contractor, subcontractor or supplier to perform acts for such party, acts or the failure to act of any public or governmental agent or entity, litigation relating to the Property initiated by a third party. other that Developer or the Town, or any other causes beyond the reasonable control the party claiming an extension of time to perform (each, a "force majeure event"), and the party affected by the force majeure event gives notice to the other party after the occurrence of such event. In the event that any party to the Agreement is unable or fails to perform due to a force majeure event and such party has given the notice as provided above, then the time for the performance of the other party shall also be extended for a period of time equal to the period of the delay plus a reasonable start-up period. 18. Host Fees. (a) Developer shall pay the Town a "Host Fee" as set forth in this Section 18. The Host Fee shall be $1.20 per Ton of Net Tonnage and shall be paid each calendar quarter in the manner set forth in Section 18(b). Payments shall be made to the Town General Fund and transmitted to the Town at the address set forth in Section 34. In the event Developer fails to make payment within ten (10) business days after receipt of written notice from the Town that a specific payment was not timely made, Developer shall, in addition to the required payment, pay a late fee of ten percent (10%) of the total amount due for said quarter.. (b) Subject to the other provisions of this Section 18, on each Review Date, the Host Fee for the year then commencing shall be adjusted upwards by an amount equal to any positive change in the CPI Less Energy for the period commencing with the then current Base Index and expiring on the last day of the calendar month immediately prior to the one year anniversary of the then current Base Index. On each Review Date, any increase in the Host Fee shall be rounded to the nearest one (1) cent. The formula for such adjustment shall be as follows: Adjustment amount = 1 + [(RDCPI - BI) / BI] Where: RDCPI =CPI Less Energy for calendar month May in the year of the Review Date; and BI =Base Index E.g. If the Host Fee in effect prior to adjustment is $1.20 per Ton, the most recently reported CPI Less Energy for calendar month April in the year of the Review Date is 218.4 and the Base Index is 213.8, then the positive percentage change between the Base Index and the CPI Less Energy on the Review Date, i.e., 1 +[(218.4-213.8)/213.8], is 1.0215%. The adjustment to the Host Fee is thus calculated as follows: $1.20 x 1.0215% _ $1.2258, rounded to $1.23. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in no event shall any CPI Less Energy-based increase in the Host Fee cause the Host Fee to exceed four percent (4%) of the average charge per Ton of Net Tonnage that third- pariy customers of the Landfill paid to deposit Waste at the Landfill during the year of this Agreement immediately preceding the Review Date for such CPI Less Energy-based increase (the "Host Fee Limit"); 8 provided, however, that (i) the Host Fee Limit shall not require any Host Fee already in effect to be reduced below its then current rate and (ii) the amount of such CPI Less Energy-based increase in the Host Fee that would be in excess of the Host Fee Limit may be applied to subsequent year increases in the Host Fee so long as the Host Fee Limit is not exceeded. In the event the CPI Less Energy for a Review Date reflects a negative percentage change when compared to the applicable Base Index, the Host Fee for the then commencing year shall equal the Host Fee payable during the immediately preceding year. (c) Host Fees shall be calculated and paid by Developer to Town within forty-five (45) days after the end of each calendar quarter in which such Host Fees are earned. Within forty-five (45) days after the end of each calendar quarter, Developer shall deliver to Town a written report (a " uarterl Report"), certified in writing by Developer as being true and correct, of (i) the Net Tonnage deposited at the Landfill and (ii) Developer's determination of the quarterly Host Fee payment due under Section 18(a) with respect thereto (the "Host Fee Determination"), as derived from Developer's review of its operational, financial and other relevant books and records as of the end of such calendar quarter. The Quarterly Report shall contain reasonable detail as to how the Host Fee Determination was made by Developer, including details of any ineligible Waste processing costs under the neighborhood container program referred to in Section 21 or the voucher program referred to in Section 22. In light of the unpredictability of the available volumes of Waste, number of customers, future laws and regulations and/or the business operations of Developer, Town acknowledges that Developer has not made any representations regarding the volume of Net Tonnage or the amount of any Host Fees to be paid hereunder. Developer specifically reserves the right to reject any Waste received at the Landfill. (d) Developer shall retain for at least three (3) years accurate records of Net Tonnage deposited at the Landfill for final disposal, including gate receipts. In addition to the Quarterly Reports, Developer shall deliver to Town, from time to time, copies of all periodic reports filed by or on behalf of Developer with the State of Arizona or any other applicable governmental body with respect to volumes and types of Waste deposited at the Landfill (e) Developer shall install, operate and maintain at the Landfill, accurate and reliable scales, certified by the Arizona Department of Weights and Measures. Such scales shall be kept in good condition and repair at all times while the Landfill is open for business. Town shall have the right, in connection with Town's review and audit rights referred to in Section 18(fl, to test the accuracy of such scales, provided that such testing does not unreasonably interfere with the operation of the Landfill. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Developer may charge customers of the Landfill using methods other than weight-based fees, including volume-based fees and flat fees determined in Developer's sole discretion, provided that such alternative charge methods shall not affect the method for calculating the Host Fee payable to Town as contemplated hereunder. (f) From time to time, upon Town's written request, but not more frequently than once per calendar year, Developer shall make its records applicable to calculation of the Host Fee Determinations covering the record retention period set forth in Section 18(d) above available to Town for review and audit by Town or Town's accountants or other representatives. If, following any such review and audit, Town believes that any Host Fee Determination was improperly made, Town may give written notice thereof to Developer, in which event Town and Developer shall promptly cause their respective representatives to confer with each other with a view to resolving such matter in good faith. If the representatives of Town and Developer are unable to resolve such matter within thirty (30) days after the date of delivery of Town's notice to Developer, Town and Developer shall refer the dispute to a mutually acceptable firm of independent certified public accountants (the "Independent Accountants") for final determination. The Independent Accountants may request of Town and/or Developer such documents and information as may be necessary or appropriate for proper determination of the matter, and Town and Developer shall cooperate to promptly satisfy any such request. The determination by the Independent Accountants of such matter shall be final and binding on Town and Developer, and may be enforced as an arbitration award in the state or federal courts of Arizona. Town's out-of-pocket costs of conducting a review and audit described above shall be borne by Town, unless the results of such review and audit, as finally determined by agreement of Town and Developer or by the Independent Accountants, show that Town was underpaid by more than five percent (5%) for the period under review, in which event Developer shall reimburse Town all of such out-of-pocket costs and the costs of the Independent Accountants upon presentation of receipts or other reasonable documentation thereof. (g) Any Host Fee amount which, based on the separate agreement of Town and Developer or a determination of the Independent Accountants, is payable by one party to the other shall be paid within thirty (30) days after the agreement or determination and any such payment not timely paid in accordance with this Section 18 shall bear interest at the rate of nine percent (9%) per annum until paid. 19. Free Public Access. On one Saturday in March and one Saturday in October (each, as selected by Developer) during the Operation Life, Developer shall allow each Town household (and all households not within the Town but which are located in the geographic area depicted on Exhibit E attached hereto) to deliver Waste directly to a site designated by Developer at the Landfill free of charge. Notice of each such free public access date together with terms for delivery of Waste consistent with this Section 19 shall be published at least two (2) weeks in advance of such free public access date in a local Marana newspaper reasonably acceptable. to the Town. The costs of such notice shall be for Developer's sole account. Waste delivered during these free public days shall be excluded from the calculation of the Host Fees under Section 18. Developer shall be permitted to impose. reasonable restrictions on such free public access, including, without limitation, (a) a maximum of two (2) Tons per household per six-month period (any amount not used in a six-month period shall not be carried forward to any succeeding six- month period), (b) limit to two cars or pickup trucks per household per six-month period; (c) individuals presenting evidence (e.g., driver's license and utility bill) of residency within Town or within the area depicted on Exhibit E, as applicable; or (d) prohibition of commercial vehicle capacity for delivery of Waste. Residents shall pay the posted gate rate for any amount in excess of two tons per six-month period. 20. Customer Vehicle Flat Fees. Non-commercial landfill customers who present evidence (e.g., driver's license. and utility bill) of residency within Town or otherwise within the area depicted on Exhibit E, as applicable, shall be charged a flat fee of $10.00 per non-commercial vehicle (the "Vehicle Flat Fee") for up to the first one (1) Ton of eligible Waste deposited by such vehicle at the Landfill. Any Net Tonnage of Waste in excess of one (1) Ton deposited by such vehicle shall be subject to Developer's posted gate rates in effect from time to time. The Vehicle Flat Fee shall be subject to annual upwards adjustment by an amount equal to any positive change in the CPI. On each Review Date, the Vehicle Flat Fee shall be increased by any positive percentage change reflected in the CPI when compared to the applicable Base Index, rounded to the nearest one (1) cent. The formula for such adjustment shall be as follows: Adjustment amount = 1 + [(RDCPI - BI) / BI] Where: RDCPI =CPI existing on the Review Date; and BI =Base Index E.g. If the Vehicle Flat Fee in effect for cars prior to adjustment is $10.00, the most recently reported CPI on the Review Date is 228.2 and the Base Index is 223.9, then the positive percentage change between the Base Index and the CPI on the Review Date, i.e., I + 10 [(228.2-223.9)/223.9], is .1.0192%. The adjustment to the Host Fee is thus calculated as follows: $10.00 x 1.0912% _ $10.19205, rounded to $10.19. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in no event shall any CPI-based increase in the Vehicle Flat Fee cause the Vehicle Flat Fee to exceed the average per-Ton eligible Waste disposal cost charged to non-commercial customers using solid waste landfills or transfer stations in the greater Tucson, Arizona metropolitan area. To the extent such limitation applies to any CPI-based increase in the Vehicle Flat Fee, Developer may not in any subsequent year's CPI-based adjustment to the Vehicle Flat Fee claim as part of such adjustment the amount of any prior year's increase in the Vehicle Flat Fee that would have occurred but for the application of this paragraph. In no event shall any CPI-based adjustment to the Vehicle Flat Fee cause the Vehicle Flat Fee to decrease from one year to the next. In the event the CPI for a Review Date reflects a negative percentage change when compared to the applicable Base Index, the Vehicle Flat Fee for the then commencing year shall equal the Vehicle Flat Fee payable during the immediately preceding year. 21. Neighborhood Container Program. During the Operation Life of the Landfill, during each calendar quarter (a calendar quarter being each of January through March, April through June, July through September, and October through December), upon the request of Town given at least fifteen (15) days in advance, Developer shall arrange for up to four (4) roll-off containers to be placed in neighborhoods determined by Town within Town limits and/or any neighborhood outside of Town limits but within the geographic area depicted on Exhibit E attached hereto (not more than four (4) such neighborhoods per calendar quarter) for individuals residing in such neighborhoods to dispose of Waste, and Developer shall arrange for the retrieval of such containers when full and for the disposal of their contents at the Landfill. The costs of providing and retrieving such containers and for disposing of their contents shall be for the sole account of Developer; provided, however, that if Developer must remove Waste from any such container based on such Waste not being eligible for disposal at the Landfill based on Applicable Laws, and Developer's cost of such removal and disposal of such Waste at another facility exceeds $1,000 per individual container or $2,000 in the aggregate for all containers in any calendar quarter, Developer may credit its full costs of such removal and disposal of such Waste against Host Fees payable to Town. If Developer exercises its right to credit such costs against Host Fees payable to Town, Developer shall provide Town with receipts or other appropriate evidence of Developer's costs of such removal and disposal of such ineligible Waste. No Host Fees shall be payable in respect of Waste deposited at the Landfill from the neighborhood container program contemplated by this Section 21. 22. Town Voucher Program. Commencing on the Opening Day, for each calendar .year of the Operation Life of the Landfill (prorated in the first year for any partial calendar year), Developer shall provide Town with thirty (30) vouchers, each voucher entitling the holder to deposit up to two (2) Tons of Waste to the Landfill free of charge. Town shall have sole discretion as to the distribution of such vouchers, provided that such vouchers may not be distributed or used for commercial benefit. Unused vouchers from a particular calendar year shall expire at the end of such calendar year and may not be used in any subsequent calendar year. A person depositing Waste at the Landfill under a voucher who exceeds the two (2) Ton limit of such voucher shall pay the posted gate rate for any Net Tonnage in excess of such limit. To the extent Developer must remove Waste from any such voucher-related deposit based on such Waste not being eligible for disposal at the Landfill based on Applicable Laws, Developer may credit its cost of such removal and its cost of arranging for proper disposal of such Waste at another facility against Host Fees payable to Town. If Developer must relocate and dispose of Waste deposited at the Landfill based on such Waste not being eligible for disposal at the Landfill based on Applicable Laws, Developer may credit its full costs of such relocation and disposal of such Waste against Host Fees payable to Town. If Developer exercises its right to credit such costs against Host Fees payable to Town, Developer shall 11 provide Town with receipts or other appropriate evidence of Developer's costs of such relocation and disposal of such ineligible Waste. Waste deposited at the Landfill under a voucher shall be excluded from the calculation of the Host Fees otherwise due the Town under Section 18. 23. Neighboring Ground Water Well Monitoring. If provided access to a source located prior to any treatment such as a water softener, Developer shall sample the five (5) domestic water wells registered within two (2) miles down gradient from the Property listed on Exhibit F attached hereto. No later than sixty (60) days following receipt of Final Entitlements for the Landfill, Developer shall send written notice, to the address used by Pima County for sending tax bills, to the owner of each property on which any of such water wells exist to determine if such owner wishes to have such water well sampled. If any such property owner does not elect to have such well sampled by Developer by sending written notice to Developer within thirty (30) days after Developer's written notice was mailed, Developer shall not be required to sample such owner's well in the future. If such property owner elects to have Developer sample such well and provides Developer with appropriate access to such well, Developer shall gather enough samples to establish an adequate background sample set (at Developer's discretion) from such well over a one (1)-year period in order to obtain a statistically valid background determination of the quality of the water in such well. Developer shall provide the results of such sampling to the property owner. Developer shall sample each such well for parameters that are deemed standard for State and Federal landfill monitoring requirements and that are reasonably expected to be associated with landfill-related constituents. After such initial sampling and during the Operation Life, if Developer's sampling of its own test wells on the Property indicate that ground water contamination from the Landfill is occurring, Developer shall sample each such property owner's wells on an annual basis (subject to being granted appropriate access to such wells) until Developer's sampling of its own test wells on the Property indicate no further ground water contamination from the Landfill. 24. Town-Generated Waste. Developer shall allow Town to dispose of qualifying Town-generated Waste eligible to be deposited in the Landfill at a rate equal to the lesser of {a) ninety percent (90%) of the published gate rate on the date of deposit or (b) the lowest commercial vehicle rate actually charged by Developer at the Landfill on the date of deposit. Town-generated Waste qualifying for such discount shall mean Waste generated exclusively by Town and delivered in Waste delivery vehicles containing only Town-generated Waste, as determined by Developer in its reasonable discretion. Town-generated Waste mixed with other Waste shall not be eligible for such discount and Developer shall have no obligation to separate Town-generated Waste from other Waste delivered to the Landfill. 25.

Force Majeure. In addition to any specific provisions of this Agreement, the performance by either party hereunder shall not be deemed to be in default where there is a delay in performance caused by or resulting from war, insurrection, terrorism, strikes, lockouts, riots, floods, earthquakes, fires, casualties, acts of God, acts of the public enemy, epidemics, quarantine restrictions, freight embargos, lack of transportation, governmental restrictions or priority, unusually severe weather, inability of any contractor, subcontractor or supplier to perform acts for such party, acts or the failure to act of any public or governmental agent or entity, litigation relating to the Property initiated by a third party other that Developer or the Town, or any other causes beyond the reasonable control the party claiming an extension of time to perform (each, a "force majeure event"), and the party affected by the force majeure event gives notice to the other party after the occurrence of such event. In the event that any party to the Agreement is unable or fails to perform due to a force majeure event and such party has given the notice as provided above, then the time for the performance of the other party shall also be extended for a period of time equal to the period of the delay plus a reasonable start-up period. 18. Host Fees. (a) .Developer shall pay the Town a "Host Fee" as set forth in this Section 18. The Host Fee shall be $1.20 per Ton of Net Tonnage and shall be paid each calendar quarter in the manner set forth in Section 18(bl. Payments shall be made to the Town General Fund and transmitted to the Town at the address set forth in Section 34. In the event Developer fails to make payment within ten (10) business days after receipt of written notice from the Town that a specific payment was not timely made, Developer shall, in addition to the required payment, pay a late fee of nineL~n percent (41Q%) of the total amount due for said quarter. (b) Subject to the other provisions of this Section 18, on each Review Date, the Host Fee for the year then commencing shall be adjusted upwards by an amount equal to any positive change in the '~^.'r'.,2°&:1-1.1 L055298.15 CPI Less Energy~~r the period corrLmencing=with the then curr~,t~t ~~e I, naeXeiri~~~n the last day of the_~.~l~ndar~m~,h~_.. ~ -1~'_.-1~_ra.~ar_t.~tli:~~ea a~nniv~r.'sary_of the then~uxrent~Bas~=Ins~~. On each Review Date, a~~lncteas~_i~__the Host Fee shall be -inc~eaey--any-positives-~en~ge-elrange- rounded to the nearest one (1) cent. The formula for such adjustment shall be as follows: Adjustment amount = 1 + [(RDCPI - BI) / BI~~ Where: RDCPI = CPI Less Energy exiting-enf ~~n~ar month Main the~~_a;z_~f the Review Date; and BI =Base Index E.g. If the Host Fee in effect prior to adjustment is $1.20 per Ton, the most recently reported CPI Less Energy enfor calendar month April in the _ e~ the Review Date is 218.4 and the Base Index is 213.8, then the positive percentage change between the Base Index and the CPI Less Energy on the Review Date, i.e., 1 +[(218.4-213.8)/213.8], is 1.0215%. The adjustment to the Host Fee is thus calculated as follows: $1.20 x 1.0215% _ $1.2258, rounded to $1.23. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in no event shall any CPI Less Energy-based increase in the Host Fee cause the Host Fee to exceed four percent (4%) of the average charge per Ton of Net Tonnage that third-party customers of the Landfill paid to deposit Waste at the Landfill during the year of this Agreement immediately preceding the Review Date for such CPI Less Energy-based increase the "Host Fee ,imit"l; provided, however, that site-h-limit(il the Host Fee Limit shall not require any Host Fee already in effect to be reduced below its then current rat . --La°,~~ E....~~`) .~',uo.,d-ii~aivi~c°~a~c....iY~x~-th~--H , > Energy-based adjustment-te-the-H®~st-Fee-e-laim-as Rart-e£ sue-h-aclju~ -e€any -prier-year-'-~ and (iil the amount of uch PI Les .nerev-based increase in the Host Fee that would annlied to subsequent v~ar increa~es_in _the_Host Fee. solone as the Host Fee Limit is not exceeded. In the event the CPI Less Energy for a Review Date reflects a negative percentage change when compared to the applicable Base Index, the Host Fee for the then commencing year shall equal the Host Fee payable during the immediately preceding year. (c) Host Fees shall be calculated and paid by Developer to Town within forty-five (45) days after the end of each calendar quarter in which such Host Fees are earned. Within forty-five (45) days after the end of each calendar quarter, Developer shall deliver to Town a written report (a " uarterl Report"), certified in writing by Developer as being true and correct, of (i) the Net Tonnage deposited at the Landfill and (ii) Developer's determination of the quarterly Host Fee payment due under Section 18~) with respect thereto (the "Host Fee Determination"), as derived from Developer's review of its operational, financial and other relevant books and records as of the end of such calendar quarter. The Quarterly Report shall contain reasonable detail as to how the Host Fee Determination was made by Developer, including details of any ineligible Waste processing costs under the neighborhood container program referred to in Section 21 or the voucher program referred to in Section 22. In light of the unpredictability of the available volumes of Waste, number of customers, future laws and regulations and/or the business operations of Developer, Town acknowledges that Developer has not made any representations regarding the volume of Net Tonnage or the amount of any Host Fees to be paid hereunder. Developer specifically reserves the right to reject any Waste received at the Landfill. ~:10"'O~~~Q--.-." 11055298.15 (d) Developer shall retain for at least three (3) years accurate records of Net Tonnage deposited at the Landfill for final disposal, including gate receipts. In addition to the Quarterly Reports, Developer shall deliver to Town, from time to time, copies of all periodic reports filed by or on behalf of Developer with the State of Arizona or any other applicable governmental body with respect to volumes and types of Waste deposited at the Landfill. (e) Developer shall install, operate and maintain at the Landfill, accurate and reliable scales, certified by the Arizona Department of Weights and Measures. Such scales shall be kept in good condition and repair at all times while the Landfill is open for business. Town shall have the right, in connection with Town's review and audit rights referred to in Section 18(fl, to test the accuracy of such scales, provided that such testing does not unreasonably interfere with the operation of the Landfill. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Developer may charge customers of the Landfill using methods other than weight-based fees, including volume-based fees and flat fees determined in Developer's sole discretion, provided that such alternative charge methods shall not affect the method for calculating the Host Fee payable to Town as contemplated hereunder. (f) From time to time, upon Town's written request, but not more frequently than once per calendar year, Developer shall make its records applicable to calculation of the Host Fee Determinations covering the record retention period set forth in Section 18(dl above available to Town for review and audit by Town or Town's accountants or other representatives. If, following any such review and audit, Town believes that any Host Fee Determination was improperly made, Town may give written notice thereof to Developer, in which event Town and Developer shall promptly cause their respective representatives to confer with each other with a view to resolving such matter in good faith. If the representatives of Town and Developer are unable to resolve such matter within thirty (30) days after the date of delivery of Town's notice to Developer, Town and Developer shall refer the dispute to a mutually acceptable firm of independent certified public accountants (the "Independent Accountants") for final determination. The Independent Accountants may request of Town and/or Developer such documents and information as may be necessary or appropriate for proper determination of the matter, and Town and Developer shall cooperate to promptly satisfy any such request. The determination by the Independent Accountants of such matter shall be final and binding on Town and Developer, and may be enforced as an arbitration award in the state or federal courts of Arizona. Town's out-of-pocket costs of conducting a review and audit described above shall be borne by Town, unless the results of such review and audit, as finally determined by agreement of Town and Developer or by the Independent Accountants, show that Town was underpaid by more than five percent (5%) for the period under review, in which event Developer shall reimburse Town all of such out-of-pocket costs and the costs Q~ the Independent...

On one Saturday in March and one Saturday in October (each as selected by Developer) during the Operation Life-As-~t~ ~~.in~ed-by~,~w1~Y„a, Developer shall allow each Town household (and all households not within the Town but which are located in the geographic area depicted on Exhibit ~~ attached hereto) to deliver Waste directly to a site designated by Developer at the Landfill free of charge. 1~[szta~~~~~o~_P~a__~la.~ be published at least two (21 weeks in advance of such free public access date in a local Marana news~aner reasonably acceptable to the Town The costs of such notice shall be for Developer's Cole account. Waste delivered during these free public days shall be excluded from the calculation of the Host Fees under Section 18. Developer shall be permitted to impose reasonable restrictions on such free public access, including, without limitation, (a) a maximum of two (2) Tons per household per six-month period (any amount not used in a six-month period shall not be carried forward to any succeeding six-month period),. (b) limit to two cars or pickup trucks per household per six-month period; (c) individuals presenting evidence (e.g., driver's license and utility bill) of residency within Town or within the area depicted on Exhibit ~~, as applicable; or (d) prohibition of commercial vehicle capacity for delivery of Waste. Residents shall pay the posted gate rate for any amount in excess of two tons per six-month period. 20. Customer Vehicle Flat Fees. Non-commercial landfill customers who present evidence (e.g., driver's license and utility bill) of residency within Town or otherwise within the area depicted on Exhibit ~, as applicable, shall be charged a flat fee of $10.00 per non-commercial vehicle (the "Vehicle Flat Fee") for up to the first one (1) Ton of eligible Waste deposited by such vehicle at the Landfill. Any Net Tonnage of Waste in excess of one (1) Ton deposited by such vehicle shall be subject to Developer's posted gate rates in effect from time to time. The Vehicle Flat Fee shall be subject to annual upwards adjustment by an amount equal to any positive change in the CPI. On each Review Date, the Vehicle Flat Fee shall be increased by any positive percentage change reflected in the CPI when compared to the applicable Base Index, rounded to the nearest one (1) cent. The formula for such adjustment shall be as follows: Adjustment amount = 1 + [(RDCPI - BI) / BI~~ Where: RDCPI =CPI existing on the Review Date; and BI =Base Index E.g. If the Vehicle Flat Fee in effect for cars prior to adjustment is $10.00, the most recently reported CPI on the Review Date is 228.2 and the Base Index is 223.9, then the positive percentage change between the Base Index and the CPI on the Review Date, i.e., 1 + [(228.2-223.9)/223.9]., is 1.0192%. The adjustment. to the Host Fee is thus calculated as follows: $10.00 x 1.0912% _ $10.19205, rounded to $10.19. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in no event shall any CPI-based increase in the Vehicle Flat Fee cause the Vehicle Flat Fee to exceed the average per-Ton eligible Waste disposal cost charged to non-commercial customers using solid waste landfills or transfer stations in the greater Tucson, Arizona metropolitan area. To the extent such limitation applies to any CPI-based increase in the Vehicle Flat Fee, Developer may not in any subsequent year's CPI-based adjustment to the Vehicle Flat Fee claim as part of such adjustment the amount of any prior year's increase in the Vehicle Flat Fee that would have occurred but for the application of this paragraph. In no event shall any CPI-based adjustment to the Vehicle Flat Fee cause the Vehicle Flat Fee to decrease from one year to the next. In the event the CPI for a Review Date reflects a negative percentage change when compared to the applicable Base Index, the Vehicle Flat Fee a-~o-s~zaE:~.~-t iossz9s.is 11 for the then commencing year shall equal the Vehicle Flat Fee payable during the immediately preceding year. 21. Neighborhood Container Program. During the Operation Life of the Landfill, during each calendar quarter (a calendar quarter being each of January through March, April through June, July through September, and October through December), upon the request of Town given at least fifteen (15) days in advance, .Developer shall arrange for up to four (4) roll-off containers to be placed in neighborhoods determined by Town within Town limits and/or any neighborhood outside of Town limits but within the geographic area depicted on Exhibit ~ attached hereto (not more than four (4) such neighborhoods per calendar quarter) for individuals residing in such neighborhoods to dispose of Waste, and Developer shall arrange for the retrieval of such containers when full and for the disposal of their contents at the Landfill. The costs of providing and retrieving such containers and for disposing of their contents shall be for the sole account of Developer; provided, however, that if Developer must remove Waste from any such container based on such Waste not being eligible for disposal at the Landfill based on Applicable Laws, and Developer's cost of such removal and disposal of such Waste at another facility exceeds $1,000 per individual container or $2,000 in the aggregate for all containers in any calendar quarter, Developer may credit its full costs of such removal and disposal of such Waste against Host Fees payable to Town. If Developer exercises its right to credit such costs against Host Fees payable to Town, Developer shall provide Town with receipts or other appropriate evidence of Developer's costs of such removal and disposal of such ineligible Waste. No Host Fees shall be payable in respect of Waste deposited at the Landfill from the neighborhood container program contemplated by this Section 21. 22. Town Voucher Program. Commencing on the Opening Day, for each calendar year of the Operation Life of the Landfill (prorated in the first year for any partial calendar year), Developer shall provide Town with thirty (30) vouchers, each voucher entitling the holder to deposit up to two (2) Tons of Waste to the Landfill free of charge. Town shall have sole discretion as to the distribution of such vouchers, provided that such vouchers may not be distributed or used for commercial benefit. Unused vouchers from a particular calendar year shall expire at the end of such calendar year and may not be used in any subsequent calendar year. A person depositing Waste at the Landfill under a voucher who exceeds the two (2) Ton limit of such voucher shall pay the posted gate rate for any Net Tonnage in excess of such limit. To the extent Developer must remove Waste from any such voucher-related deposit based on such Waste not being eligible for disposal at the Landfill based on Applicable Laws, Developer may credit .its cost of such removal and its cost of arranging for proper disposal of such Waste at another facility against Host Fees payable to Town. If Devel~ner must relocate and dispose of Waste deposited at the Landfill may credit its full costs of such relocation and disnosal of such Waste against Host Fees movable to Town. If~eveloner exercises its right to credit such costs against Host Fees navable to Town Develoner shall ~xszusl~~.._TQwn. uv..th._receit~ts~ar~h~r_~.Qlzxiate_...eYisienc.~£J~_~u~a_per_s_cQSt~_~zf~~hr~ation anc~ s~ispo~al 9 such ax~eligilzle Wash Waste deposited at the Landfill under a voucher shall be excluded from the calculation of the Host Fees otherwise due the Town under Section 18. 23.

If any such property owner does not elect to have such well sampled by Developer by sending written notice to Developer within thirty (30) days after Developer's written notice was mailed, Developer shall not be required to sample such owner's well in the future. If such property owner elects to have Developer sample such well and provides Developer with appropriate access to such well, Developer 1-1053298:1-1 1 1 05 5 298.15 12 shall gather enough samples to establish an adequate background sample set (at Developer's discretion) from such well over a one (1)-year period in order to obtain a statistically valid background determination of the quality of the water in such well. Developer shall provide the results of such sampling to the property owner. Developer shall sample each such well for parameters that are deemed standard for State and Federal landfill monitoring requirements and that are reasonably expected to be associated with landfill-related constituents. After such initial sampling and during the Operation Life, if Developer's sampling of its own test wells on the Property indicate that ground water contamination from the Landfill is occurring, Developer shall sample each such property owner's wells on an annual basis (subject to being granted appropriate access to such wells) until Developer's sampling of its own test wells on the Property indicate no further ground water contamination from the Landfill. 24. own-Generated Waste Developer shall allow Town to dic ose o uali i T,~ own-generated Waste eligible to be deposited in the Landfill at a rate equal to the lesser of (al ninety percent (90%1 0~ tla~~u~l.i~h~~~ga~:~r~t~~nxh~_slat~~:afsl~lzcz~at::~ox ~ ~h~_1Q~~s~t~amm~x:~ial_yeJzic~le rate~~u~~ch~arg~~, b~I?~yeloner at t ~ Landfill o~ the c~a~e ~~..d.~nosit.

CIVIC CENTER DRIVE, MARANA, ARIZONA 85653 COUNCIL CHAMBERS, August 10, 2010, 6:00:00 PM To: Mayor and Council Item D 3 From: Cedric Hay ,Senior Assistant Town Attorney Strategic Plan Focus Area: Progress and Innovation Subject: Presentation: Discussion of proposed changes to Title 16 (Signs) of the Marana Land Development Code and other possible regulations addressing signs in the public right- of-way Discussion: This study session item is presented to explain and discuss sign code changes that are scheduled to be brought to the Town Council for consideration and possible adoption at the September 7 meeting. Staff is seeking feedback from Council on the proposed changes and. any additional changes Council may request, including possible revision of regulations relating to signs in the public right-of-way. The backup for this item includes the current drafts of the entire package of sign code and wayfinding (kiosk) program documents proposed to be brought forward on September 7. The following is a summary of the key changes being proposed: . Modify Section 16-09-04 Political Sign- delete the setback requirement on the property and delete the date on which signs can be installed. . Modify Section 16-10-O1.C.2 Permits- slight changes to the wording so that a single, four square-foot political sign would more clearly be allowed by this section without obtaining a permit. . Delete Section 16-11 Fees- this section was added to the Town's comprehensive fee schedule and is no longer needed in the LDC. . Modify Section 16-14-17 Service Station Sign- renamed it to Fuel Sign, simplified it to indicate the amount of square footage of fuel prices that can be on various types of signs and allow for the fuel price to be displayed electronically. . Delete Sections 16-14-08 Construction Sign and 16-14-29 Temporary Construction Sign- these sections were very similar to two other sections (16-14-27 and 16-14-28), therefore; the four sections were combined into two sections. . Modify Section 16-14-27 Development Sign- this type of sign can be displayed on property being developed to identify the name of the development and other information such as proposed tenants and opening dates. The sign area was increased to 64 square feet from 40 feet and the setback reduced to 10 feet from 15 feet. This modification also states when this sign can be installed. Modify Section 16-14-28 Developer, Contractor and/or Subcontractor Identification. Sign- this type of sign can be displayed on property being developed to identify who is involved in the developing, construction or financing of the project. Changes to this section bring it more into conformance with requirements of Section 16-14-27 with regard to location of the sign and when one can be installed. Delete Section 16-14-37 Off-Premise Development Kiosk Sign Program- this section of the code sets the requirements for way-finding signs that are located within the Town rights-of-way directing traffic to new residential subdivisions. Staff proposes to remove the program for these type signs from the LDC and create a new separate policy by resolution (also attached with the backup materials) that is also scheduled to be adopted on September 7th. The Kiosk provisions were the subject of a May 18 Council Study Session. Modify Section 16-15-01 Violations of this Title- added Subsection 16-11-02 to this section due to the fee section being deleted. There are no changes to the wording. For political signs, the proposed sign code changes only affect the setback requirement on private property (eliminated) and the elimination of permitting requirements for single, small (not larger than four square feet) signs on private property. Signs are still prohibited in the Town's right-of- way. Marana's political sign regulations are consistent with those in the City of Tucson and the Town of Sahuarita. The Town of Oro Valley has taken a novel approach by establishing 12 "Temporary Sign Zones" within their town right-of-way. Within these zones any non-commercial signs which meet certain size and height requirements are allowed without the need for permits. While the zones established by Oro Valley create an opportunity for non-commercial speech, they also come with added duties for their town staff. Those who post signs in these areas are not required to obtain permits, so the areas must be monitored by town staff to ensure compliance with the size and height requirements and to make sure that only non-commercial signs are located in the areas. The claimed benefit gained by concentrating political signs in certain designated areas must be balanced against the added staff time and the fact that signs are still allowed with a permit on private property. Town staff plans to bring the changes described above for possible adoption at the September 7 Council meeting. Any additional changes requested by Council based on the discussion at tonight's meeting will be brought forward separately.

CIVIC CENTER DRIVE, MARANA, ARIZONA 85653 COUNCIL CHAMBERS, August 10, 2010, 6:00:00 PM To: Mayor and Council Item D 5 From: Suzanne Machain ,Human Resources Director Strategic Plan Focus Area: Progress and Innovation Strategic Plan Focus Area -Additional Information: Strategic Plan Action Strategy: Survey and monitor best-practices in both the public and private sector; ongoing identification, evaluation and recommendation of tools, processes and programs that enhance citizen communication and involvement and promote the transparency of government in decision-making. Subject: Presentation: Relating to Personnel; update by staff relating to a professional services agreement with Waters-Oldani Executive Recruitment consulting firm to perform executive search services for the positions of Chief of Police and Assistant Town Manager Discussion: The town will commence a recruitment process to identify its next Chief of Police and Assistant Town Manager. It is highly recommended that the town utilize an executive search firm to assist with proactively attracting and screening candidates for these two high level positions. Search firms are used as a "best practice," by municipal governments to clearly define and create a broad consensus statement about highly desired candidate attributes, to increase the size of candidate pools, and to assist with candidate screening. Town staff identified a number of eligible firms through cooperative purchasing agreements and has selected the firm of Waters-Oldani Executive Recruitment, which is a division of the Waters Consulting Group. The Waters Consulting Group was established in 1976 and has extensive experience recruiting specifically for these two types of positions. The recommendation is based both on cost considerations, the firm's experience with these types of recruitments and the guarantee that accompanies the firm's work on the placement. The stages of the recruitment will include the development of a candidate profile, advertisement, marketing strategy, search strategy and identification of quality candidates, preliminary screening and initial interviewing, background, academic and reference checks, and onsite assistance with finalist interviews. The recruitment process will involve several key stakeholders at different stages of the process including members of the mayor and council, department employees (plus the Marana Police Officers Association in the case of the Chief of Police), executive town staff, and members of the community. The professional service fees offered by Waters-Oldani are very competitive and they've committed to reducing costs where possible throughout the process. Additionally, contracting to perform executive search services for two positions has created an opportunity for further reduced costs. Professional service fees for the Chief of Police process will be $15,500 and discounted to $12,500 for the Assistant Town Manager. Project related expenses are additional and include, but are not limited to consultant travel, printing, advertising,. and long distance telephone charges. These fees are estimated to be and will not to exceed $5,500 for each search process. It is expected that the search process will take three to four months. Financial Impact: Executive search recruitment services were anticipated as part of the FY 2011 budget at $10,000. Additional funding to support this effort will be achieved through other operational savings. ATTACHMENTS: Name: Description: Type: No Attachments Available Staff Recommendation: Informational only.
