Minutes - Regular Meeting <br /> Solid Waste Advisory Board <br /> March 3, 2005 <br /> Approved April 7, 2005 <br /> Vickers states that the question then is how do we integrate the political element of <br /> the plan (having input from other stakeholders) with the technical items [we address <br /> as the SWAB ] at our regular meeting . <br /> Sassaman states that the way to do that is to have our issues after that . My thought <br /> was that we would meet once a month as a separate group . <br /> Kabrick asks if SWAB worked with staff to draft the initial plan? <br /> Wilson states that the plan was developed in 1996 adopted in 1997 and only recently <br /> the County made some significant revisions to it . This body has never had an in <br /> depth look at the plan . <br /> Kabrick asks do we attack it like the fee structure, with that kind of intensity ? <br /> Wilson states that staff will do the bulk of the technical work . We will then come back <br /> to you all for guidance . <br /> Sassaman states that we could have the first hour of our meeting to discuss the Plan <br /> and invite the others but we would have to be very disciplined about it . In the second <br /> hour we could discuss our other business . <br /> Tipton asks what would be the focus of the workgroup ? <br /> Sassaman replies to get some buy -in from other jurisdictions . <br /> Wilson states that once we are further into development of the plan an hour isri t <br /> going to be much time . <br /> Kabrick states that there has to be an initial meeting of all the stakeholders to decide <br /> what the goals are for the 10-year plan . <br /> Wilson states that the over riding objective is to design a system that can attain the <br /> waste reduction goal of 61 % . The political goals are more uncertain . <br /> Kabrick states that we need to get the political goals out on the table and revise the <br /> plan around that . Until we have that meeting, maybe we can' t decide how we move <br /> forward as a group or a subgroup . <br /> Vickers states that we need to look at things we do not need to spend time on, for <br /> example, is the 61 % goal something that is fixed and not to be revisited ? <br /> 2 <br />
