Minutes - Regular Meeting <br /> Solid Waste Advisory Board . <br /> March 3, 2005 <br /> Approved April 7, 2005 <br /> Pollock states that both of you are on the right track with your strategic thinking <br /> about how to conduct the meeting . This group will have to shape the agenda for the <br /> other meetings and be the lead as you go into the other meetings with elected officials <br /> and other stakeholders . You bring a lot to the table even though you don ' t have the <br /> status they do . <br /> Sassaman agrees that the SWAB could hash out the - issues first . <br /> Tipton states that there needs to be some base of agreement on the details of the plans, <br /> for example if the goal of 61 % is in agreement with all parties move on to the next <br /> step , if not come to an agreement of a new goal . Then move on to the next step . <br /> Clayton states that Tipton s approach is organic, fluid and can change but it seems <br /> that we need to do that here before presenting it to the working group . <br /> Sassaman states that the most important part of the work group is to get the buy in of <br /> the elected officials . <br /> Wilson suggests that the representatives of the SWAB speak with their respective <br /> Mayor / Chair and explain/ request participation for the group . He lays out options to <br /> propose to the local governments about ways they might participate and suggests that <br /> each Town might nominate one or more council members to attend or that perhaps <br /> the Towns will decide to send only staff until there ' s something substantive to decide . <br /> Suggests SWAB members find out best how their boards might participate . <br /> Sassaman asks how to approach it if one government want to send staff, while <br /> another chooses elected officials . <br /> Wilson says that would be their choice *in how they participate . <br /> Clayton states that the approach could be taken a step further by asking bluntly if <br /> there is something they want . Try to get their initial buy-m not only on organizational <br /> structure but if they ' ve got some pet peeves, we should know up front . I have not <br /> gotten any guidance from the County elected officials . <br /> Kabrick says we have to act in the best interests of the jurisdiction who appointed us . <br /> Norwood asks if there is something that the public could bring up that we don' t <br /> already know about? <br /> 3 <br />
