G. Melton, Jr., Chariman Northwest Ark. Regional Planning Comm. P. 0. Box 745 Springdale, AR 72764 Dear Chairman Melton: The Board of Directors of the City of Fayetteville, at their regular meeting held on June 5, 1979, discussed the solid waste problem confronting the City and agreed with the executive committee of the Northwest Arkansas Regional Planning Commission finding and conclusion that the needs of its constituents could best be served through the formation of a regional Solid Waste Authority which would serve the Benton and Washington County area. The City Board pledged its "seed funding" of $1,500 to be used for the nec- essary fees involved in the establishment of such an authority and under- stands that if funds remain after the authority is established, they will receive their proportionate reimbursement share. The City Board also ap- pointed me to serve on the commission's organizational committee for the creation of the Solid Waste Authority. The Fayetteville City Board stands ready to enter into the formal agree- ments with other units of government in the two county area and pledges its support to the rapid creation of the authority and its future work in dealing with the solid waste problem of Northwest Arkansas.
