When Judge Pat B. Brian determined that there was not enough evidence to grant the request from G&F, tlie path was cleared for the contract to be signed.

Public Works Director, LaMar Richins told the Board of County Commissioners that part of the Request for Proposal factor was to make sure the County would NOT be responsible for billing. If that was going to be changed, said Richins, the contract would also have to be changed before signing took place. Granite Environmental Inc. representative, Michael O'Hara, who has been working with the County as they try to establish a waste pick-u- p fum, added that he felt BI1 would be responsible for the billing due to the fact that the County currently does not bill residents for garbage pickup as residents pay fur COPY ! f ! sev- ting egged.
