ASSEMBLT EM'S COMMUTE Assemblyman Blankenburg referred to Robert McFarlane's July 28, 1987 memorandum regarding the close out on the landfill and questioned whether the steps listed would satisfy the DEC requirements. Mayor Selby responded that if the borough completed the items listed in the memo and the leachate dis- charge water flowing out of the lagoons meet DEC requirements, DEC landfill close out conditions would be met. BLANKENBURG, seconded by STEVENS A discussion followed between assemblymembers and the mayor. With the concurrence of his second, Assemblymember Blankenburg amended his motion as follows: BLANKENBURG, seconded by STEVENS moved to authorize staff to prepare the paperwork necessary to spend $200,000 to finish the close out on the landfill project. moved to award $200,000 to authorize staff to prepare paperwork necessary to award $200,000 to Frontier Construction to close out the landfill. Assemblyman Stevens pointed out there was some discussion about breaking the award into two separate projects with items "8" and "9" being separate bids. Mayor Selby explained that the contract with Frontier Construc- tion was mainly for the close out of the landfill and some of the optional miscellaneous items under "8" and "9" may not be included in the Frontier Construction's award. Clarification was made that the motion was to authorize staff to prepare the paper work to award Frontier Construction $200,000 to complete the three large items listed in the close out of the landfill.
