Minutes - Regular Meeting <br /> Solid Waste Advisory Board <br /> December 9, 2004 <br /> Approved January 6, 2005 <br /> are how many tons are landfilled, what are the changes in landfill patterns, how many <br /> tons are recycled, what are the changes in recycling, what are the materials that we <br /> recycle, what are the potential for recycling additional materials . The accomplishment <br /> of the SWAB could be paired off against the key issues and challenges faced by the <br /> Solid Waste Management Department . <br /> Pollock states that if you have a consensus of the SWAB to present something to the <br /> BOCC this year, I can get with Gayle we can talk about a timetable . You may want to <br /> change some things in this outline . <br /> Smith looks for ways to pare it down . <br /> Vickers states that with solid waste management there are four main areas to <br /> approach, inert debris [and] , emergency management waste, construction waste, <br /> municipal waste and recycling . Determine which are the most important in the next <br /> couple of years and focus on that . <br /> Pollock states that that is one way to do it . It makes more of a white paper than a full <br /> report . <br /> Norwood states that I agree that it should be short but also praise ourselves on our <br /> accomplishments and at the end give information on what' s being worked on . <br /> Sassaman states that part of what we are doing at the same time is that we ' re giving <br /> the Commissioners just before the January 22 meeting is our plan of what we want to <br /> do for the next year . We ' ve done this for the past few years, setting goals . I know the <br /> Chapel Hill Town Council is restive about this whole issue [ of the solid waste plan] . <br /> We need to be proactive . Randy Kabrick told the Chapel Hill Town Council that since <br /> they didn ' t sign the County ' s solid waste plan, they had to come up with their own or <br /> they were in violation of state law . He got them quite worried . I am not sure of the <br /> law on this . They were unhappy that they got a fee and got nothing new for it . I see <br /> this report going to all the elected officials . Are there any alternative ideas about the <br /> outline presented in this memo ? <br /> Tipton states that it should highlight what is on the radar screen . The SWAB could do <br /> their portion of what it thinks is on its radar screen or what should be; each <br /> jurisdiction would have something else for its radar screen . It shouldn ' t be just us <br /> agreeing on what ' s on there, although we need to spend some time on this . <br /> Sassaman states that maybe we could do that way or do it as the Solid Waste <br /> Management enterprise and the SWAB as a group putting the report together . Not <br /> getting what each jurisdiction thinks . I ' m raising these issues because I already know <br /> 7 <br />
