Lease Renewal - Bradshaw Quarry Road Solid Waste Convenience Center <br />The Board considered renewing a lease for the existing solid waste convenience center on <br />Bradshaw Quarry Road for a five-year period at a rate of $2,400 per year. <br />Commissioner Brown asked about the language indicating that this staffed site will continue to <br />be necessary in the foreseeable future. She asked if there was a plan that she was not aware of. <br />John Link said that this statement meant that there would continue to be convenience centers. <br />Commissioner Brown said that she received a call from a church that uses this solid waste <br />center every Sunday, and the church was told that they could no longer accept church debris because it <br />was not household waste. She made an inquiry of Public Works, and this is not the case. <br />Geoffrey Gledhill said that he would go back and read the solid waste ordinance. He said that <br />it is clear when the solid waste ordinance was adopted in 1993 that the Board wanted to make sure that <br />only household waste was accepted. <br />A motion was made by Commissioner Brown, seconded by Commissioner Jacobs to approve <br />and authorize the Chair to sign a lease for the existing solid waste convenience center on Bradshaw <br />Quarry Road for a five-year period at a rate of $2,400 per year. <br />VOTE: UNANIMOUS <br />C.
