16 1 Commissioner Foushee said that it includes what Commissioner Hemminger said and 2 the idea of placing the signs, and offering assistance to property owners to remove surface 3 level trash without disturbance. 4 Commissioner Yuhasz asked that the County Attorney approve any assistance 5 beforehand. 6 Frank Clifton clarified that the motion was the Manager's recommendation as indicated, 7 and the Board will bring back follow-up documentation on all of the issues and how to proceed. 8 He also suggested that the Rogers Road Task Force review this. 9 Commissioner Foushee and Commissioner Hemminger accepted this amendment. 10 Commissioner Jacobs said that he would like to respectfully include in this the work of 11 the Engineers Without Borders. He hopes that the staff incorporates this data into what is 12 brought back. 13 VOTE: UNANIMOUS 14 15 C. Interim Services Planning for Walnut Grove Solid Waste Convenience 16 Center 17 The Board received and considered authorizing staff to proceed with an interim 18 convenience center service plan of services to be provided at the Walnut Grove Church Road 19 Convenience Center during the period of construction. 20 Solid Waste Director Gayle Wilson said that the prior discussion about this expansion 21 included an urging by the Board that staff find a way to keep some level of services continuing 22 through the period of construction at the site. Staff has considered numerous options. He said 23 that staff is recommending in the interim that all SWCC activities move to the older site that was 24 once used as the SWCC for 20 years and they are proposing to go only to garbage during that 25 time due to size limitations. The existing site currently utilizes 32 dumpsters and staff believes 26 they can put 24 dumpsters on the interim site. He hopes to get recycling on this site, but they 27 would have to reduce the number of dumpsters. He is proposing to keep the oil containers at 28 the current site. He said that at a meeting in December, the Board of County Commissioners 29 wanted him to do public outreach that this property is not being considered as a landfill or 30 transfer site. He told the public that this property is not being considered for a transfer station 31 or a landfill at this time. 32 Commissioner Yuhasz asked if single-stream recycling would provide any relief to the 33 space constraints. Gayle Wilson said that it would be of minimal benefit. 34 Commissioner Hemminger asked if there would be signage indicating where people can 35 take their recyclables. Gayle Wilson said that they would do a massive and comprehensive 36 public outreach campaign. 37 Commissioner Jacobs said that there is a property owner nearby that the County could 38 influence, and that is the Northern Human Services Center. This could be used as a temporary 39 site for recycling. 40 Commissioner Jacobs asked if there could be any incentives for moving the bidding 41 process faster. John Roberts said that this could be worked out. 42 Commissioner Yuhasz suggested encouraging citizens to use the curbside recycling 43 where it is available. 44 A motion was made by Commissioner Jacobs, seconded by Commissioner Hemminger 45 to authorize staff to proceed with the interim implementation of convenience center service plan 46 at Walnut Grove Church Road Convenience Center due to center construction disruptions, 47 including temporarily reducing services to municipal solid waste and waste oil/anti-freeze/oil 48 filters/batteries;with additions to place temporary bins at Northern Human Services Center for 49 recycling with temporary signs, to include in bids incentives to finish sooner, and to place signs 50 at original site to give plenty of time to inform the current users at this SWCC.
