Minutes - Regular Meeting Solid Waste Advisory Board August 2, 2007 Approved September 6, 2007 appraisal of this property and based on that and the asking price consider purchasing the property as a buffer only . I would like to buy not only that but adjoining properties just for buffer . It could eventually be used for some other County uses . Norwood states that I would like to recommend you purchase that property that is a strip of land northwest of the intersection of Eubanks Rd . and the railroad tracks . We need to purchase that, I' ve heard you say, because of the topography if the old landfill messes up, it [any landfill leakage] will end there . Wilson states I have noted that but that the property is out of my price range . But I do hope to purchase part of it for a sewer easement for the leachate sewer so we can finish that after four years . That is also going to provide sewer for the animal shelter and ultimately for the transfer station sewer too, but not the solid waste operations center . On this other property for a buffer, you could support or oppose the pursuit o of that property for a buffer or do nothing, but I did feel obligated to bring it up . Norwood asks if that acreage is big enough for the convenience center ? Wilson notes that it' s not the right shape or big enough to do something on. Norwood states that it' s not clear how the neighborhood would take that purchase anyway but there may need to be more fire service out there, so perhaps this is a site in the future for that. Vickers states that buffers don t hurt you so we should consider increasing buffers and moves that the SWAB advises the Solid Waste Department that it endorses the concept of increasing the buffers along the roadway of Eubanks Rd . to the west of the construction debris landfill and purchases that would increase the buffers . No second . Motion dies . 5 . Solid Waste Management Plan Work Group Process Pollock states that the work group met in June to discuss the dropoff sites and the rural solid waste collection services analysis . The rural residential solid waste collection service looked good economically . There was no action taken on either item . At the next meeting there will be two big analyses coming forward that relate to the MRF, work that was done for bids to evaluate whether to go with one of the MRFs in the area or to build our own MRF . The consultant will come back with the results evaluating the three bidders and the haulers and the equipment bid . There was one equipment bid that wi11 be incorporated into the design for building our own MRF . That will help us compare the building our own MRF with going to an already existing merchant MRF . 4
