Minutes - Regular Meeting <br /> Solid Waste Advisory Board <br /> November 2, 2006 <br /> Approved December 7, 2006 , <br /> will be the news release . Next when the bin is delivered it will have a sticker that <br /> explains mixed paper and finally a brochure also delivered with the bin . <br /> Norwood states that the comment I ' ve heard the most is that it ' s too confusing . <br /> Maybe there should be a way to educate one thing at a time . <br /> 2007 Meeting Schedule Wilson states that there are four of our meetings that fall on the <br /> night the Commissioners have a regular meeting or a work session . This may matter <br /> to Barry Jacobs . You may want to reschedule or consult with Barry . <br /> Sassaman states that we should continue to do as we have in the past whereas if there <br /> was a meeting where we wanted Barry to attend we would tell him and make sure the <br /> meeting did not conflict with the BOCC meeting . <br /> Other None <br /> 6 . Other Business Kabrick suggests that the board or staff consider changing the way <br /> the meetings are run . Having a consent agenda which would be composed of the <br /> minutes of the previous meeting and stuff for informational purpose only : There <br /> would be some information that wouldn ' t need to get discussed unless a member <br /> wanted to pull it for discussion . Then there would be the discussion agenda . We <br /> spend a lot of time belaboring stuff that shouldn ' t be belabored . This way we could <br /> focus on the meat of what we need to talk about . This would mean that the <br /> programs / services update would be written and given to the board a week before the <br /> meeting so the board could look at it and decide if they wanted to pull something . <br /> Wilson states that it may not be possible given the workload . <br /> Kabrick states that I am contrasting this board to the OWASA board where the <br /> discussions are much more focused and the information packet is thick but we only <br /> discuss the meat . This board needs to focus on the solid waste management plan and <br /> transfer station and everything else on this agenda is in the " noise' at this point; it <br /> doesn' t matter . <br /> Sassaman states that one way to approach it is to have the agenda divided into things <br /> that are informational and clearly indicate the discussion and try to strict the <br /> discussion to those things that need to be discussed . <br /> Kabrick states that items 2 and 3 are what we really needed to do today . <br /> Sassaman states that part of the function of this board has been informational and to <br /> educate people on the board who aren ' t as aware as other so they can then deal with <br /> their constituents . Maybe we could set the time to spend on an item . <br /> 6 <br />
