<br />Use categories to draft affirmative countywide goals and assign all issues, actions, and
<br />challenges to fhe appropriate goal or goals:
<br />A - Ensure a community network of basic human services that maintains, protects, and
<br />promotes the well-being of all county residents
<br />1. Achieve a per capita waste reduction goal of 61 % and minimize quantities of waste
<br />transferred to distant landfills.
<br />6. Address county-wide need for affordable and work force housing.
<br />12. Address local fallout of mental health reform.
<br />15. Address solid waste management needs in emergency storm debris management,
<br />recyclable materials handling operations, organics processing operations, solid waste
<br />convenience centers, land clearing and inert debris recycling, and waste handling
<br />operations.
<br />21. Allow persons who have functional impairments to live safely in the least restrictive
<br />environment.
<br />27. Ban all recyclables from the landfill, including any recyclable that is collected curbside -this
<br />ban would help extend the life of the landfill as we address the transfer station issue and
<br />reduce environmental pollution.
