Commissioner Gordon asked how the Board decisions on recycling will impact the <br /> purchase of roll carts. <br /> Gayle Wilson said adjustments will be made as necessary depending on the Board's <br /> decisions. <br /> Commissioner porosin asked if there has been any discussion on reducing the <br /> frequency of collection, given the size of the new roll carts. <br /> Gayle Wilson said those conversations have been had with the municipalities and the <br /> most recent bids were done to be awarded either way. He said the towns would like to stay <br /> with weekly for now, with the option to change to bi-weekly in the future. <br /> Paul Laughton said there are some changes in the CIP from last year for large pieces <br /> of equipment. He said a re-build program has been instituted, and this is a cost savings of 30- <br /> 35 percent. He said the CIP reflects these reduced equipment costs. <br /> Gail Wilson said, with the closing of the landfill and the reduced hours, staff decided to <br /> approach things differently and rebuild once before equipment is replaced. He said this has <br /> eliminated $2.2 million from the equipment reserve account to be moved to the landfill post <br /> closure reserves. <br /> Paul Laughton said the next scheduled work session to discuss the CIP will be on May <br /> 15. <br /> Commissioner Price asked about the infrastructure in Efland and whether staff could <br /> look at the at-grade railroad crossings. She would like this to be put into the scope of work <br /> because she is concerned about these. <br /> 3.
