schedules. Goes to the Finance Committee on May 5th, full Board of Commissioners on
May 17th.
A proposed resolution went to the Board of Commissioners authorizing the issuance of
the bond series 2026.
o Board determined it is in the best interest of the county to approve the proposed
resolution and recommend its adoption by the Kent County Board of
Commissioners.
Mayor Kepley: recommendation to add a 10-year mark to redo the agreement.
o There is time to adjust before going to the full board.
o Will have a discussion with Jeff Dood from Fiscal Services on if that language is
needed, or if it is a given.
Supervisor Madura: How sure are we to get bond under 6%?
o Jeff Dood works with organizations that issue schedule.
o Rates have not bene volatile as far as known, nothing has been over 4%.
Supervisor Madura: How aggressive will we be to pay off early?

carried full 20 years.
o Unable to pay off before the 10-year mark. 2036 is the earliest it can be paid fully.
o Kent County has a history of paying debts off early.
Discussions had on enterprise revenue funds and solid waste surcharge.
o Reserve could go towards other projects that are necessary in the future.
c. SafeChem Services Agreement for Barry County – AR
With the cost and limited access of a single household hazardous waste collection
event, Barry County partners with the Kalamazoo County Household Hazardous
Waste Center to provide its residents year-round access to a disposal program
with reimbursement to Kalamazoo County.
Barry County inquired if Kent County DPW could provide a similar program to
better serve northern Barry County residents at the South Kent SafeChem facility.
Under the terms of the FY2026 agreement, Barry County will fund their resident’s
access to the SafeChem Center Program Services up to a maximum amount of
$7,800 for the services under the Agreement. DPW will agree to provide 200
vouchers at $39 each.
Costs charged to Barry County for their residents to use of the SafeChem Center
Program will be based upon the actual number of household equivalents served.
Barry County will be charged a participation fee of $39.00 per household
equivalent, the average cost of a Kent County resident using the program.

Motion
It was moved by Supervisor Madura and seconded by Mayor Kepley to approve a SafeChem
Household Hazardous Waste Disposal Program Agreement with Barry County for FY2026.
Motion carried unanimously.
•

IV.

Mayor Kepley: Do we check ID’s now? Technically, they could drop off now and not
know.
o Some counties flow here. We use the term “live, work, or play” for the program.
Majority of our residents are local.
o By issuing the voucher, we create path to formalize agreement.
o Works well with Kalamazoo County and helps their customers with inquiries.
o Necessary for our program, we had over 11,000 people use the program last year.
Waste to Energy Operations

4

•

•

•

•
•

•

We are in the largest outage at Waste-to-Energy we have had in a while.
o To replace scrubber with unit 2.
o Turbine generator; replacing the DC inverter, doing maintenance on piping
systems, sandblasting, inspecting and replacing parts.
o Done every seven years.
o Turbine is 40 years old now.
o A lot of work is being done right now to stay in compliance. The plan is to meet
not only emission standards but continue to generate electricity once the turbine is
refreshed.
a. 2025 Emissions Data Test Results
Packet includes actual boiler conditions and shows examples of where we have permit
limits for a variety of things.
o Unit 1 operates 86% below allowance for SO2 (Sulfur Dioxide).
Replacement of the scrubber on unit 1 last year saw a reduction in reagents used to treat
the flu gas before it came out of the facility.
o Expect to see improvements when unit 2 is replaced as currently it draws excess
air into the system because of the rust and holes.
b. MACT Ruling
Memo put together with assistance from Madison Consulting regarding Title V Permit.
Final ruling has challenges but is more favorable than draft.
o EPA (Environmental Protection Agency) listened to concerns.
o Can meet emissions with current equipment.
o Net cost is predicted to be $50,000 a year, which will be paperwork and
adjustments internally.
▪ Opposed to the predicted $30M over 10 years if the draft rule went
through.
o There is more risk than award to challenge review.
▪ Opposition could lead to bigger impacts and reworks less in our favor.
o Due to minimal financial impact and ability to meet the ruling, it is recommended
to not challenge.
o Must comply and be ready to meet new stack test requirements based on the final
rule in five years. (State of Michigan (Environment, Great Lakes and Energy)
administers the Title V Permit in their own program).
▪ We are also making those with the new scrubbers being input.
▪ Public Works have already done things to prepare for the changes.
▪ Ready to meet with minimal financial impact.
Supervisor Madura: Is there a way to get operators certified ahead of time?
o Only if you can get operators that are already certified.

5

•

•

V.

•

o Must have 6-months experience in the plant to get certification.
o Interpreted as an impossible task to have all certified before being at the plant,
will check with EPA if this is a reasonable adjustment.
o Jesse Douglas discussed the development program at the plant.
▪ It is a career ladder in Vicinity.
▪ Those in the plant already by the time they are ready to do the testing.
▪ There are some challenges with resignations and retirements.
• This is where the task becomes impossible and agree that it is not
feasible.
Commissioner Pachla requests to be updated before the next board meeting on what the
Waste-to-Energy Association decides on challenges.
o May 11th is the deadline for challenges; meeting being held with the Association
this afternoon to discuss.
Mayor Kepley: regarding destruction efficiency requirement of the control equipment, are
there alternate control to help resolve HCl (Hydrogen Chloride) concentration issue?
o HCl is treated with lime injection process.
o Alternative process is still allowed under MACT ruling.
o Jesse Douglas discussed the emissions from materials that come to the facility. We
can’t control what materials come to the facility. Waste stream is different
between geography and months.
▪ Florida will have different trash than Michigan.
▪ December will see different waste than July.
Accounting & Finance
a. FY2025-FY2026 2nd Q Revenue Comparison
How well are we doing under the new rate structure?
o Outpacing 2025.
o Commodity sales dropped.
o Solid waste surcharge up.
▪ Collecting and remitting was recorded quicker this year.
o Waste to Energy rate balanced to same as North Kent and South Kent.
b. FY2027 Operations Budget (Revised) – AR
DPW administration developed a fiscally conservative FY2027 Operations budget
projecting lower revenues and expenses during a FY2026 transition year to
countywide flow control of municipal solid waste (MSW). The Board of Public
Works adopted the initial FY2027 operations budget at their March 5, 2026
meeting.

6

Using FY2026 January - February revenue actuals, DPW finance staff revised
revenue forecasts with an increase revenue projection of $3,724,400. Operating
expenses remain unchanged and the additional revenue, when realized, we be
allocated to contingency and used for future year operating expenses or capital
improve fund expenditures as approved by the Board.
Motion
It was moved by Commissioner Pachla and seconded by Mayor Kepley to approve the
Department of Public Works 2027 Revised Operations Budget to be submitted to County
Administration.
Motion carried unanimously.
•

Commissioner Pachla: Any more thoughts about using money to reduce tip fees?
o Dollars can be spent.
o Major turbine outage means no generation of electricity. Have a $1M fund to help
soften that loss during outage.
o We also have the Sustainable Business Park and South Kent Transfer Station
infrastructure.
▪ Discussing various funding were lined out could be and will be spent.
▪ The funding is set aside but is part of the cash reserve.
▪ It is tracked and set aside inside that reserve.
c. FY2027 Accrual Budget – AR

Annually the Department of Public Works prepares a Rate Study for its operations. This rate
study is a cash basis income statement, and its primary use is to set disposal rates to cover cash
expenditures including wages, benefits, operating expenses, capital improvements and debt
payments.
The budget submitted to the Controller’s Office is a full accrual basis budget and audited
financial statements are filed on this basis. Therefore, the rate study has adjustments for capital
improvement plan expenditures, principal payments, landfill cell construction reserves and
internal fund contributions.
Annual approval of a full accrual basis budget by the Board of Public Works streamlines and
enables the Board to make any needed budget adjustments instead of bringing these requests to
the Board of Commissioners and recommended by the County Budget Director for DPW
Enterprise Funds.
Motion

7

It was moved by Commissioner Pachla and seconded by Supervisor Madura to approve the
FY2027 Accrual Budget for the Department of Public Works showing revenues of $70,167,502
and expenses of $70,167,502.
Motion carried unanimously.

VII. Public Comment/Miscellaneous
• No Public Comment.
• Board Miscellaneous:
o Mayor Kepley: Now that flow control is active, has anything changed with the
six-cities? Are they still going to Waste-to-Energy?
▪ This first year we agreed to not direct material to any specific facility. This
year, it remains to be seen.
▪ Manager Paul Smith has noticed a slight increase in material.
▪ Industry loves to tip on concrete.
• North Kent volumes are up 40% this year.
• South Kent is not seeing much of an increase.
▪ Mayor Kepley noted that he would like to see the material direction
resolve sooner than later.
▪ Board strategic review is currently ongoing.

8

•

▪

Waiting for that review to be completed before recommending the
type of technical committee and who needs to sit on it to discuss
these types of concerns and logistics.
Commissioner Pachla: When do we start to direct materials from facilities
and how would a South Kent Transfer Station impact this?
• It was also requested by Commissioner Pachla to have transfer
tonnage included in the data.
• Any decision to move forward with the South Kent Transfer
Station program design will depend on a 2–3-year process.
• Based on the cost of the North Kent Transfer Station, South Kent
would likely be double the size and cost around $25M.

VIII. Adjournment

AGENDA ITEM#: III-A
SUBJECT: AMP ONE Sortation Pilot Project
DIVISION: Waste-to-Energy Facility Operations
PREPARED BY: Darwin J. Baas, Director

ACTION REQUESTED:

To approve and authorize the Director to enter a contract with AMP Robotics Corporation (AMP) to
install an AMP ONE sortation system for a two (2) year pilot at the Kent County Waste-to-Energy
(WTE) Facility.
SUMMARY OF REQUEST:
DPW, AMP and Vicinity Energy have completed a feasibility assessment to install a mixed waste
sortation line at WTE to remove recyclables from inbound loads prior to combustion. Based on the
outcomes of the study, AMP is ready to proceed to a pilot project to install sortation equipment.
The pilot project will include the installation of an AMP ONE sortation system configured to sort up to
two (2) target material categories from inbound municipal solid waste. The focus of the pilot project
is to evaluate the removal efficiency, marketability, and reduction in thermal loading for plastics and
old corrugated cardboard (OCC) prior to combustion.
The feasibility assessment indicates combustion throughput could be increased by up to 30,000 tons
annually with the removal of 5000 tons of OCC and 5000 tons of plastics. As a demonstration pilot
project, AMP will provide the sortation system, including installation and operation, for a period of 24
months and will not charge any processing fees to Kent County.
Corporate Counsel will review and approve the contract as to form with terms to parallel the term
sheet.
SUGGESTED MOTION:
It was moved by Commissioner
