(c)The vote of the Board of Supervisors approving the siting of a resource recovery facility, including a recycling, transfer, or composting facility shall require an affirmative recorded vote of the supervisor representing the town or city in which the facility is to be located, in addition to approval by two-thirds vote of the entire Board of Supervisors.
(d)The District may not enter into any contract with nonmember municipalities or private entities for the management of solid waste generated outside the boundaries of the District, unless the contract is deemed to be in the best interests of the District, and approved by a two-thirds majority of the Board of Supervisors.
