Commissioner Halkiotis said that there needs to be a very careful selection of members on the <br />Solid Waste Advisory Committee. <br />Chair Gordon asked what would happen if the Solid Waste Advisory Committee did not come <br />together until after the County takes over solid waste management. <br />John Link suggested that staff list issues that are the purview of staff, Board of County <br />Commissioners, and Solid Waste Advisory Committee. Also, the relationship between the staff and the <br />advisory board should be delineated. <br />Commissioner Carey said that we do not necessarily need to wait until the County assumes <br />solid waste management before appointing members to the Solid Waste Advisory Committee. <br />John Link said that the Board of County Commissioners should set the parameters for the Solid <br />Waste Advisory Committee prior to the first meeting. <br />The Clerk will contact the other jurisdictions and ask them to make appointments to the Solid <br />Waste Advisory Committee as soon as possible. <br />d. Owner's Request to Relocate High Rock Road Solid Waste Convenience Center <br />John Link summarized this information. This is an agenda item on the November meeting <br />agenda. The request is to move the High Rock Road solid waste convenience center 1,000 feet further <br />northwest on High Rock Road. Additional recycling services would be allowed by the relocation of this site <br />such as a salvage shed. <br />2. DISCUSSION OF PREPARATIONS FOR COMMISSIONERS' ANNUAL GOAL SETTING <br />RETREAT <br />The Board discussed the date for the goal setting retreat. The Board decided to have the retreat <br />on January 20, 2000 from 3:00-9:45 p.m. at the Southern Human Services Center. <br />Chair Gordon suggested having the Boards and Commissions submit their goals and put them in a <br />briefing notebook. The Board will let the Boards and Commissions know if a presentation needs to be <br />made. The Boards and Commissions will be encouraged to make information in the briefing notebook self <br />explanatory so that a presentation at the retreat is not necessary. <br />Commissioner Halkiotis would like to see a one-page administrative summary for each group. <br />John Link will develop a form for the one-page administrative summary and the Board will then <br />send the form out with letters. <br />Commissioner Carey said that the form should include recommendations for the year in priority <br />order. <br />Commissioner Brown and Commissioner Jacobs would like to know how what the Boards and <br />Commissions are requesting relates to the Board of County Commissioners' goals. <br />Chair Gordon suggested starting out with a Financial Update and then look at updating and <br />prioritizing goals. <br />Commissioner Jacobs suggested talking about internal board structure. He would also like to have <br />a free flowing conversation about what the Board wants to change, what the Board is doing, what should <br />be improved, how there can be fewer meetings, and future options on conducting business.
