Chairman Crescimbeni posed questions to Public Works Director Jim Robinson and Solid Waste Division Chief Jeff Foster regarding reports that Advanced Disposal Services owes the City solid waste host fees from its operation of the yard waste facility at Old Kings Road Landfill.  Mr. Foster indicated that an investigation is on-going as to whether host fees may have been payable on a portion of the yard waste that was not recycled but was landfilled instead.  Mr. Crescimbeni requested that a report be presented to a special Finance Committee meeting next Tuesday immediately preceding the City Council agenda meeting.
