<br />M Martinsville <br /> <br />City Council <br />Agenda Sununary <br /> <br />Meeting Date: May 12, 2009 <br />Item No: 7. <br />Department: Public Works <br /> <br />, <br /> <br />Issue: Consider adoption of a Council Resolution supporting a phased <br />approach to the development of the landfill methane recovery project. <br /> <br />Summary: As discussed at previous Council meetings, engineering work is <br />proceeding on the development of a landfill gas/methane recovery project at the <br />City landfill. For engineering, construction, and funding purposes, staff <br />recommends developing the project in two phases, with phase I being the <br />engineering/ construction work for the gas collection and flaring system, and phase <br />II being the engineering/ construction related to utilization of the collected gas <br />either as an alternate fuel source for a potential end user, or for the production of <br />power. Funding for phase I was approved by Council at the April 28, 2009 <br />meeting. As efforts are made to seek grant and/ or other funding for phase II, it <br />has been noted that separation of the project into distinct phases may enhance the <br />City's ability to pursue such funding. <br /> <br />Attachments: <br /> <br />Resolution <br /> <br />Recommendations: <br /> <br />Recommend adoption of the Resolution <br />
