Shockingly Low Host Community FeesShould be Explained

Unanswered Question The following question was asked at the June 18,2013 councilmeeting:

"Your 2008 audit shows you received $11,973 in host fees and your2007 audit shows $11,920. How could these numbers be so low?" 2009 should have been included in that question. Since 1987, state law set the minimum community host fee at $0.50per ton. The numbers for 2007 to 2009 seem extremely low. This question is still unanswered.

Same Tonnage Allowed for Each Year onChart? (350 tons/day or 2100 tons/week)

Thanks to Marc Schrieks, tonnage increased from 80 tons/day to 350 tons aday. This was an increase of337.5% of trash for Lodi. What a great ideafor a Main Street! "Two weeks ago, the council approved a contract with National TransferInc., at 445 N. Main St., on the west side of one of the borough's main

streets, increasing the amount of garbage it processes from 80 tons to 350tons a day.The decision was made after Councilman Marc Schrieks said in a Junecaucus meeting that the Bergen County Board of Freeholders, which hasfinal jurisdiction over the decision, had planned to approve National'srequest for an increase. In the end, it turned out that it was not even on thefreeholders' agenda at the time."

Continued: Marc Schrieks serves Pinto Marc Schrieks worked for the disgraced state senatorJoseph Coniglio at the time of the-tonnage increase.Coniglio's wife Valerie was the-clerk for the FreeholderBoard that had the final decision on the matter. Marc Schrieks sat silent at a county hearing when theFreeholder Board said that the Lodi mayor and councilwere in support of the tonnage increase.

To this day, Marc Schrieks continues to tell people hevoted against the tonnage increase even though he didmore to get it passed than anybody else.

"Remiss" At the May 21, 2013 council meeting, a resident of theAvenues asked Marc Schrieks why he broke with pastpractice by approving a new host agreement upstairs at aworkshop instead of at a regular public meeting. MarcSchrieks adamantly said he never approved a new host

agreement and didn't know what the person was talkingabout. When Marc Schrieks was shown a copy of the agreement hesigned just months prior, he said he was "remiss". He thenwent on to admit he never looked at any recent hostagreement from other communities nor did he seek oneprice from another transfer station before giving Pinto100% of Lodi's business.
