Minutes - Regular Meeting <br /> Solid Waste Advisory Board <br /> September 4, 2008 <br /> Approved October 2, 2008 <br /> the single car that comes in and goes right to the TVs and computers and takes <br /> everything you don' t want them to have . <br /> Wilson replies that that is good information and we will follow up on that. <br /> Grunwald states that I go to the SWCC on Hwy 86 [Walnut Grove Church Road] two <br /> or three times a week . The gentlemen that have been working there that came from <br /> Hwy 57 are really nice . There is a gentleman there by the name of "Johnny " . He <br /> refuses to tell me his proper name . He tells me off every time I ' m in there . I asked for <br /> help getting some garbage into the dumpster he gave me a dirty look and replied " I ' m <br /> not going to hurt my back for anyone, that' s on you honey " . He will not let me put <br /> iture into the exchange shed . He said it is his job to keep the place <br /> perfectly good furn <br /> clean and if he says you don ' t put it there, you don ' t put it there . I haven' t told him <br /> who I am . I don ' t know who he is, but I ' ve had a lot of people complain about him . <br /> He has even made snotty comments to other employees working there about helping <br /> elderly people . He ' s got everybody else sitting down . As far as he is concerned he is <br /> God . I don' t know if someone needs to talk to him, he has got everyone cooperating <br /> with him and people that used to help don' t help when he' s around . They help when <br /> he' s not around . <br /> Wilson states that we will follow up and speak with Johnny to let him know what has <br /> been observed and reported and counsel him on how to improve his customer service . <br /> Grunwald states that I ' ve seen him sitting in a chair watching a man so old he almost <br /> fell over trying to get a bag of garbage into the dumpster . In a situation like that <br /> aren ' t they suppose to help ? Isn' t it dangerous? <br /> Wilson states that they are not required to because there are people that come out <br /> there with extremely heavy things . How did they get it on their truck? We don ' t <br /> require them, but ask them to help if they can . <br /> Grunwald states that helping a man get a bag of garbage out of the trunk, there is no <br /> reason for him not to get up . He has told many people " that' s not in my job <br /> description, it' s on you . You hurt your back; go ahead, I ' m not going to hurt mine " . <br /> Wilson states that we will have a talk with Johnny . Give us some more feedback after <br /> a few more trips . <br /> 3 . Landfill Alternative Technology Assessment Final Report Wilson states that this <br /> item was presented at our last meeting . A similar but briefer presentation was <br /> supposed to take place this past Tuesday night to the BOCC but the meeting ran long <br /> and they didn ' t get to it. We are trying to reschedule it. Jan thought that this group <br /> may want further discussion on it or to see if the SWAB has any recommendation or <br /> 2 <br />
