12 <br /> 1 Commissioner Rich asked how fuel is purchased for county cars. <br /> 2 Wayne Fenton said in the past there was a fueling facility in the northern part of the county, but now <br /> 3 fuel cards are distributed, allowing drivers to fuel up in other places. He said the fuel is bid out each time it <br /> 4 is needed, from four different potential suppliers; and the purchase is made from the lowest bidder. <br /> 5 Chair Jacobs referred to page 3 of the abstract and asked if there are plans to track county use of <br /> 6 resources, such as recyclables, and sustainable practices. <br /> 7 Wayne Fenton said the department is trying to take incremental step toward improving sustainable <br /> 8 practices. He said there are efforts to purchase and use more environmentally friendly building products. <br /> 9 He said that larger purchases for other departments are not under the jurisdiction of Asset Management <br /> 10 Services. <br /> 11 Chair Jacobs said he feels there should be a benchmark to start from, as well as a unified policy <br /> 12 and a universal protocol for the county on how resources are used. <br /> 13 Wayne Fenton said work could be done on a scorecard to track progress from year to year. He said <br /> 14 his department is happy to work with other departments on this. <br /> 15 Chair Jacobs asked if the Board agreed with this idea, and the answer was yes. <br /> 16 <br /> 17 d. Resolution Recoqnizinq Jan Sassaman for Service on the Solid Waste Advisory Board <br /> 18 The Board considered a resolution recognizing Jan Sassaman for his volunteer service on the Solid <br /> 19 Waste Advisory Board and authorizing the Chair to sign. <br /> 20 Chair Jacobs read the resolution — <br /> 21 <br /> 22 ORANGE COUNTY BOARD OF COMMISSIONERS <br /> 23 <br /> 24 RESOLUTION RECOGNIZING JAN SASSAMAN FOR COMMUNITY SERVICE ON THE <br /> 25 SOLID WASTE ADVISORY BOARD <br /> 26 <br /> 27 <br /> 28 <br /> 29 WHEREAS, Jan Sassaman will be concluding his service on the Solid Waste Advisory Board when the <br /> 30 Board dissolves at the closing of the Orange County Landfill at the end of June 2013; and, <br /> 31 <br /> 32 WHEREAS, Mr. Sassaman has served as a member of the Solid Waste Advisory Board since its creation <br /> 33 thirteen years ago, including serving in a leadership role as Chair; and, <br /> 34 <br /> 35 WHEREAS, in addition to Mr. Sassaman's commitment to activities of the Solid Waste Advisory Board, <br /> 36 over the years he has served as a consultant in the solid and hazardous waste field <br /> 37 internationally working on evaluation of incineration technologies, hazardous waste site <br /> 38 mitigation, risk assessment and a broad array of other related topics; and, <br /> 39 <br /> 40 WHEREAS, Mr. Sassaman has provided a persistent and impassioned voice for protection of the <br /> 41 environment of Orange County; <br /> 42 <br /> 43 NOW, THEREFORE, be it resolved that the Orange County Board of Commissioners hereby recognizes <br /> 44 Jan Sassaman for his outstanding service to the staff of the Solid Waste Management <br /> 45 Department, the Orange County Board of Commissioners and the people of Orange <br /> 46 County during his exemplary volunteer service on the Solid Waste Advisory Board. <br /> 47 <br /> 48 This the 4th day of June 2013. <br /> 49 <br /> 50 Jan Sassaman said it had been a pleasure working with the Board of County Commissioners, the <br /> 51 county manager and staff, and he has learned a lot about solid waste and recycling, as well as county <br /> 52 government and politics. He said the most important thing for him has been the opportunity to work with <br /> 53 county and town staff. He said the government employees that work in Orange County are by far the best <br /> 54 group of government servants that he has ever worked for. <br />
