🧵 Now that the @TPerinton is done handing out public service jobs like they are inherited, let's turn our attention to the Host Benefit Agreement.
It's an election year for @TownHanna which is likely the driving force behind Perinton's decision to finally address the contract with @WasteManagement...which has been expired for the better part of 3 years.
What is the community host benefit agreement? It's a contractual handshake between @TPerinton and @WasteManagement. The goal is to provide the residents of Perinton "benefits" at the high cost of hosting #HighAcres in their backyard.
You may be thinking; "Okay, sounds great for @TPerinton! What's the catch?!" Well, we are so glad you asked! Let's review the top 5 reasons this agreement is...messy.
5 - @TPerinton has worked property value protection into the agreement. But, for who? Where are these properties located? While 15% below market share is fair protection in a GOOD market, what about when the markets eventually change? #clearasmud
4 - @TPerinton doubles down in this agreement by outlining how a @WasteManagement run hotline is more accurate in identifying 'Actionable Odor Events' than an app that provides real-time location and weather information directly to their inboxes. 🤡🤡🤡🤡 #whatyearisit
3 - In 2019, a derailment caused trains full of trash to sit in Maryland for 3 weeks before showing up in @TPerinton. The result was horrendous odors in the community for 7+ days. The agreement mentions avoiding delays but there are no specifics to it. This is not sufficient.
2 - The agreement doesn't address the elephant in the room. Despite the widespread belief that the continuous odor issues at #HighAcres stem from the @TPerinton side of the landfill, there is no mention of capping and closure. This should be the town's number one priority.
1 - @TownHanna's math is very wrong. Despite promoting a reduction in #NYC waste at #HighAcres, this is written to actually INCREASE it by 54k tons ⬇️

Trash volume allowed by @NYSDEC: 1.4M tons
Total NYC volume allowed per new agreement: 700k
Total NYC volume in 2020: 646k
