recommended that a comprehensive solid waste management agreement among the local <br /> governments is desirable. These recommendations are on page 2-3 of the memorandum from <br /> the SWAB to the County Commissioners (Attachment 2-a). <br /> Chair Pelissier said that the County Commissioners asked the towns to appoint one <br /> elected official and one staff person to work with this proposed work group to work on the <br /> interlocal agreement. <br /> Commissioner Yuhasz said that the SWAB was directed by the Board of County <br /> Commissioners to address alternatives that may exist and SWAB said that there was nothing <br /> in the interlocal agreement that provided for alternatives to the landfill. He thinks that it is <br /> important that these discussions be at an elected official level. <br /> Commissioner Gordon left at 9:20 PM. <br /> Jim Ward said that something that closely resembles the current SWAB would have <br /> value to carry the ball on these issues. He thinks that there should be a lot of pressure to get <br /> to work on this. <br /> Chair Pelissier agreed. <br /> b) Extended Landfill Life Cycle (Community Improvements Fund — Surcharge <br /> Option) <br /> Gayle Wilson said that last summer the County engaged a new engineering firm <br /> (attachment 2-b). The first task for the firm was to evaluate landfill closure options. His <br /> recommendation is Option 2. <br /> . . j . . . - . . . . - <br /> 1. 452,000 CY Remaining Advantaqes <br /> 70 Months • No public involvement process <br /> January 2016 • Extended site life <br /> • Additional tipping fees ($50 x 126,450 extra <br /> tons = $6,322,500) compared to existing <br /> • Revise slopes from 4:1 permitted capacity <br /> to 3:1 <br /> • Easily constructed and maintained side <br /> • Less than 10% capacity slopes <br /> increase <br /> • Does not exceed existing permitted height <br /> • Additional 191,591 CY <br /> or 126,450 tons • Consistent with existing slope construction <br /> • No additional cell construction <br /> Disadvantaqes <br /> • Does not maximize potential airspace <br /> • Extended site life may have negative <br /> impact on public perception <br />
