Minutes - Regular Meeting <br /> Solid Waste Advisory Board <br /> August 2, 2007 <br /> Approved September 6, 2007 <br /> Attendance : Jan Sassaman, Bonnie Norwood, Remus Smith, Al Vickers, and Michelle <br /> Grunwald <br /> Staff: Gayle Wilson, Blair Pollock, Paul Spire, and Wanda McCain <br /> 1 . Adoption of Minutes from June ? SWAB meeting Vickers moves to accept. Smith <br /> 2nd . Passes unanimously . <br /> 2 . Board Member Comments Norwood states that there have been some complaints <br /> about people being able to stay longer than they are suppose to at the convenience <br /> center on Eubanks . I ' ve spoken to Van about it on occasion . Someone else has <br /> complained and now the rules are being enforced . There was a woman who used to <br /> keep the shed clean; she' s there all the time, recycling and moving stuff around, not <br /> knowing about your operation, I was wondering if she could volunteer there ? <br /> Wilson states that it would be better to enforce the rules and have the attendant do the <br /> job . The drivers can help the attendants if they have time on their routes . There are <br /> some liability issues with volunteers and someone would need to manage them . As <br /> formal volunteers they would have to wear , safety gear and we would be responsible <br /> if something happened to them . <br /> Pollock adds that there are other people who hang out there and help citizens but also <br /> use that time to salvage themselves . <br /> Vickers states that getting in and out of the convenience center on Eubanks Rd . is <br /> crazy and very dangerous . Can we change the traffic pattern to one way in and one <br /> way out? <br /> Spire states that a solution is being looked at for all the sites . <br /> Wilson notes that narrowing the entranceway to slow traffic has also created a <br /> bottleneck . <br /> Pollock adds that the overflow from closing Hwy 57 has come largely to Eubanks <br /> Road, not Walnut Grove Church Road as we had expected it might. <br /> Norwood adds the gravel entranceway to Eubanks Road also creates a problem with <br /> entering the road at an appropriate speed . <br /> Sassaman states that Chapel Hill hasn' t reappointed me nor have they dis-appointed <br /> me . <br /> 1 <br />
