Minutes Regular Meeting <br /> Solid Waste Advisory Board <br /> May 1 , 2008 <br /> Approved June 5, 2008 <br /> Attendance : Jan Sassaman, Bonnie Norwood, BJ Tipton, Remus Smith, Al Vickers, and <br /> Michelle Grunwald <br /> Staff: Blair Pollock, Wanda McCain, and Gayle Wilson <br /> 1 . Discussion and Approval of Interim Solid Waste Plan Sassaman states that not <br /> seeing any members of the public here we will dispense with the public hearing . <br /> Pollock states that after tonight we will be taking the plan around to the various <br /> boards over the next month . As they each have comments, hopefully they won' t be <br /> too contradictory or make us go back and forth too often . The only concern is if the <br /> comments contradict each other, we will list all the comments and bring it to the <br /> BOCC and hope for some kind of redaction. The Board has scheduled it for June 3rd <br /> and then we will be able to send it in as an approved plan . <br /> What will happen after that is that we will continue with our planning work as we <br /> were with the work group to resolve some of the issue we were working on like <br /> commercial and financing, convenience centers, how to pay for those, how to pay for <br /> commercial . This presentation will lay out those issues but not show the solutions as <br /> we don t have them yet. <br /> Sassaman states that my understanding of the next steps are, assuming we approve <br /> the interim plan wording, would be to send it on to the Towns and the Board of <br /> Commissioners . <br /> Vickers moves to do that. Smith 2nd , <br /> Smith states that staff did a wonderful job on the report. It is thorough, complete and <br /> written in 2nd grade language . It is a good plan. <br /> Grunwald states that may be the reason for a lack of response - because people <br /> understand it. <br /> Vote passes 5 -0 <br /> 2 .
