Minutes - Regular Meeting <br /> Solid Waste Advisory Board <br /> December 11 , 2003 <br /> Approved January 8 , 2004 <br /> are going to provide financing . Our intent is to use our marching orders from the <br /> Board to show what it will look like financially . Including the tipping fees with the <br /> resulting deficit and the availability fees to make that up , then come back to the <br /> Commissioners with an action item . <br /> Sassaman states that we should wait until we get the plan and comment as we see fit . <br /> A lot of what is in Gayle ' s memo is what we wrestled with before . The goal is <br /> something we may never reach . <br /> Pollock states that we are the only County in the state that begs the state to go out and <br /> look for more garbage . We did that and compared tonnage from 2001 - 02 to <br /> 2002 - 03 . Calculating it their way we are at 46 % waste reduction, if we net out the <br /> C & D waste recycled at private facilities , we are at50 % 48 % . We are successful and we <br /> are making progress . <br /> Tipton remarks that UNC ' s recycling percentage has also increased similarly in last <br /> year . <br /> Kabrick moves that the SWAB wait to comment on the plan . I would like one point of <br /> clarification . Did Gayle call you [Vickers] and ask you not to send the letter ? <br /> Vickers states that he [ Gayle ] was following direction from the county . <br /> Kabrick states that it seems to be a little out of line . <br /> Vickers states that he asked that I consider not sending it, not telling me not to send it . <br /> Sassaman states that that is appropriate . A lot has gone through my mind since it was <br /> first drafted . It seems that there was a preamble in the letter that stated that this was a <br /> body appointed by the Towns and that we are bring the Towns ' concerns to the <br /> BOCC . <br /> Vickers 211a the motion to wait for the solid waste management plan to come back and <br /> comment then . <br /> Norwood states that there was a concern of getting this to the state late . <br /> Vickers states that it came up at the work session where the Board was advised that it <br /> was going to be late . <br /> Pollock states that there is one consequence where we are going to submit a grant for <br /> a glass crusher .
