Minutes - Regular Meeting <br /> Solid Waste Advisory Board <br /> March 2, 2006 <br /> Approved April 6, 2006 <br /> Clayton recommends that pressure be put on the Commissioners . <br /> Wilson states that the Commissioners have already passed a resolution . <br /> Sanitation Division Reorganization Wilson states that there has been inquiries made by <br /> a couple of the Commissioners regarding doing the reorganization this year . We have <br /> prepared some numbers . If it didn' t make sense last year because of having to rent <br /> space and set up temporary quarters until the new operations center is ready, it <br /> doesn' t seem to make sense this year . We' re not sure where this is going and frankly <br /> at this point we may as well wait until the new building is ready . <br /> Clayton asks if there is enough savings if the two groups were to work together . <br /> Wilson states that there would be some operational efficiencies that should translate <br /> into savings . Ultimately there will be some one time costs related to the transition . <br /> Clayton asks currently the landfill and administration is physically separated, why do <br /> we physically need to move sanitation to have them efficiently integrated . <br /> Wilson states that it is possible to leave them where they are and avoid some of those <br /> transition costs . <br /> Landfill Gas Preliminary Report Wilson states that we have a preliminary report and it <br /> will be presented at the March 15 work session if it' s on the agenda . The report states <br /> that it is not economically viable to utilize the gas out of our landfill . The best case <br /> scenario was they could utilize the gas from the south Eubanks landfill for a net cost <br /> of about $120, 000 a year . There is no money to be made . <br /> Sassaman asks if the significant cost transferring it or capturing it? <br /> Wilson replies it seems to be capturing it because we have none of the plumbing . <br /> Fiscal 2006- 07 Budget Wilson states that I hope to have this on the next agenda in some <br /> fashion . There are some major elements coming up like recommending an increase in <br /> the 3R fee, the transfer station on Eubanks Rd . , and issues related to the operations <br /> center . <br /> Leachate Basin Sezver Project Wilson states that we had hoped to construct this year or <br /> at least have it out for bid . It has been delayed . We have more information and it is <br /> going to cost twice what we thought it was going to cost . <br /> 10 . Other Business Wilson states that you all should start thinking about when you want <br /> to get the Work Group back together . <br /> 13 <br />
