(A) The City of Garden City is one of the constituent members of the Central Wayne County Sanitation Authority (the “Authority”). The Authority disposes of solid waste originating within the territorial limits of its constituent members.
(B) The city and the Authority have entered into a Solid Waste Disposal and Service Agreement (the “Agreement”) which prescribes their respective rights and obligations with respect to solid waste disposal services to be performed by the Authority, and to assure an adequate supply of solid waste, all in furtherance of the purpose of protecting the public health and the general welfare of the people in the city as required and authorized by the Constitution and Public Act 641 of 1978 [now repealed]. Pursuant to the Agreement, the city has agreed to deliver or cause to be delivered to the Authority substantially all solid waste originating within its territorial limits and to pay or cause to be paid to the Authority for disposal thereof certain rates which the Authority estimates will be sufficient to pay the expenses of the operation, maintenance, and administration of facilities of the Authority and the principal and interest requirements on all outstanding bonds of the Authority. Pursuant to the Agreement, the city is obligated to enact an ordinance regulating the collection and disposal of solid waste originating within its territorial limits.
