Landfill Site Leased
For Six More Years
Polk County reached an
agreement with Mr. and Mrs.
Sam Searcy of Mill Spring and
signed a new lease for the land
fill site Monday night - just 12
days before the current lease
was to expire.
According to the lease terms,
Polk County will pay the Scar-
cys 525,000 a year for the
85-acre site, plus two adjacent
tracts totalling 13 acres which
Searcy recently acquired.
The county will have the
option to renew the lease for
another six-year term, also at
$25,000 per year.
The Scarcys came to the
county's rescue in 1987,
health director Cliff Fields
said, when they first agreed to
lease the county's landfill site
for $2,500. Champion Paper
Co. had refused to renew the
lease on the previous site, and
the county was in a bind, Fields
explained.
Five years later, however,
negotiations apparently were
not as easy. Neither county
officials nor the Scarcys would
comment in recent months,
other than to say that negotia
tions had been going on for
over a year and a half.
"We have discussed this to
death," in executive sessions
board chairman Jeannie Martin
saio Monday, asking if any of
the board members had a final
comment before the lease was
signed.
At least one county commis
sioner said he didn't believe the
county would exercise its
option to renew the lease for a
second six-year term. Tim
McCorniack said he believes
0 > un ty must work to
establish a regional landfill
operation with neighboring
counties. b
