20 <br /> 1 Commissioner Dorosin questioned why the Board needs separate meetings. He said <br /> 2 this is all supposed to be transparent, and it should be on the regular agenda. <br /> 3 Commissioner McKee said the reason for his proposal of stand-alone events is due to <br /> 4 concern about the possibility of a lack of time for this size of a public hearing. <br /> 5 Commissioner Pelissier asked if staff could look at the calendar before this decision is <br /> 6 made. <br /> 7 Michael Talbert suggested starting the meeting an hour early. <br /> 8 Chair Jacobs clarified that Michael Talbert will come back with scheduling <br /> 9 recommendations if this fails. <br /> 10 Michael Talbert said this is correct. <br /> 11 Commissioner Price said if this fails she would like to have staff look for a meeting that <br /> 12 is lean. <br /> 13 Commissioner Gordon said she supports a stand-alone meeting with a work session <br /> 14 afterward, just in case it ends early. <br /> 15 <br /> 16 VOTE: Ayes, 3: Chair Jacobs Commissioner McKee Commissioner Gordon; Nays, 4: <br /> 17 Commissioner Dorosin, Commissioner Pelissier, Commissioner Rich, Commissioner Price <br /> 18 <br /> 19 MOTION FAILS <br /> 20 <br /> 21 c. Approval of Budget Amendment #4-113 to Purchase Rural Curbside Recycling <br /> 22 Trucks <br /> 23 The Board considered approving Budget Amendment#4-B, for a total of$581,314, <br /> 24 authorizing the purchase of two (2) rural curbside recycling trucks from Southern Trucks of <br /> 25 Charlotte, North Carolina utilizing the Sole Source exemption from the formal bidding <br /> 26 requirement. <br /> 27 Gayle Wilson said staff has been delaying the replacement of these trucks, and the <br /> 28 current trucks barely function. He said the new trucks are designed to serve both a manual a <br /> 29 fully automated system and are versatile for serving the rural area. He said these take about 8 <br /> 30 to 9 months to build. He said he realizes that one of the options may not require these trucks; <br /> 31 however, staff is going to recommend a similar truck next year in their budget for the multi- <br /> 32 family program. He said this means the new trucks would still be used. <br /> 33 Commissioner McKee expressed his support for this purchase. <br /> 34 <br /> 35 A motion was made by Commissioner Pelissier, seconded by Commissioner McKee to: <br /> 36 <br /> 37 • Approve Budget Amendment#4-B for a total of$581,314 from solid waste enterprise <br /> 38 fund reserves for the purchase of the two curbside recycling trucks; and <br /> 39 • Approve a Sole Source exemption purchase from Southern Truck of Charlotte, North <br /> 40 Carolina to procure the two curbside recycling trucks at a cost of for $287,076 each <br /> 41 ($574,152). <br /> 42 Commissioner Dorosin asked what would be done with the trucks if curbside recycling <br /> 43 was not initiated. <br /> 44 Gayle Wilson said he would not request a recycling truck in next year's budget, but <br /> 45 would substitute one of these trucks instead. He said he would use the other as a backup for <br /> 46 all of the other programs. He said these are the most adaptable trucks that can be found. <br /> 47 <br /> 48 VOTE: UNANIMOUS <br /> 49 <br /> 50 d. Potential Orange County Fair—Conceptual Plan and Follow-Up <br />
