Landfill                          The Council had a couple questions in regards to the landfill including

if money has ever been borrowed from the landfill fund for other county operations.  Also, since the City has a contract, not a 28E agreement, with Ida County, and

the county owns the landfill, what, if any, closure and monitoring costs will the city be held responsible for?
