Lerud presented said that the Board was formed through a Joint Powers Agreement before the time when the county was involved in setting up brush dumps, and it was a way for the four municipalities to purchase and share equipment to operate their own sites. To his knowledge, Lerud said it appears that the Board never met after forming, and with the County now involved in coordinating and providingfinancingfor brush dumps, this organization was no longer needed. Lerud presented a letter from the Becker City Attorney regarding the process for dissolution of the board, and the meetingtoday was to considerthe city of Becker's request to dissolve the Joint Powers Agreement. Piasecki said that the only piece of equipment purchased by the Board was a skid steer and it was presently housed at the City of Zimmerman. Piasecki said that the skid steer could be put up for auction and the proceeds distributed to member cities. The Board members agreed that there would be an equal distribution of sale proceeds to the cities. After a brief discussion, Board member Stay offered Resolution 24-01 and moved for its adoption, second by Knier.
