A <br />number of citizens have approached the Landfill Owners Group and the <br />Board of Commissioners about taking action that would establish this <br />practice as written policy. Staff have drafted the attached resolution <br />that would formally implement this policy. A similar resolution is <br />expected to be presented in the near future for consideration by the <br />Landfill Owners' Group. <br />RECOMMENDATION(S): The Manager recommends that the Board adopt the <br />proposed resolution. <br />
