Board reviews five-year Dry Creek amendment with $71.43/ton fee, agrees to approve draft
Summary
The board discussed a five-year Dry Creek contract amendment retroactive to Jan. 1, 2026, with a fee of $71.43 per ton (including a $1.89 DEQ host fee), CPI adjustments and an 85% CPF calculation; members agreed to approve the draft and process it through the BlueSheet procedure.
County staff presented a proposed five-year amendment to the Dry Creek agreement at the Jan. 27 meeting, asking that it be retroactive to Jan. 1, 2026. The draft sets a fee of $71.43 per ton, which the presenter said includes a $1.89 DEQ host fee.
The board discussed how CPI adjustments will be handled: staff said each March they will compare last year to this year's numbers and apply an "85% of CPF" calculation with a 4% cap. A board member asked for clarification on the CPF reference; staff confirmed the existing contract language (85% and the 4% cap) remains unchanged.
Commissioners agreed they could approve the draft in the administrative meeting and route the finalized document through the BlueSheet process after signature lines and correct party names are updated. Staff noted the counterparty has sold and the signature block will reference the new contact, and that DirectRec (as referenced in staff remarks) would sign the agreement.
No vote tally or formal adoption was recorded in the administrative meeting; the board directed staff to finalize the draft and submit it for formal processing.
