Minutes - Regular Meeting Solid Waste Advisory Board January 15, 2009 Approved February 5, 2009 model based on a combination of revenue sources . Then send that to the Commissioners and Town Boards for their comments and then bring it to the public and then back to the Board for their final recommendation. Sassaman asks has it been established who is responsible for bringing it to the public from each jurisdiction . Pollock states that it has been looked at as a unified process that would go once . You as the SWAB can decide if it' s more effective to bring it forward four times to each of the boards and public rather than once to the public, you should let us know that. Sassaman raises the concern of what if one of the Towns decides to do it differently? That is something that should come up in one of the planning meetings, assuming we get all the Towns' representatives there . Wilson notes that unless the plan is finalized by June 30, we will not be eligible for the expanded grant money . 5 . Transfer Station Site Search Update and Discussion Wilson states that on December 11th the Board was presented with a recommendation from the manager and consultant. The Board had a lengthy discussion of where to go from there . They decided to eliminate one of the final three sites and proceed with two sites . One is the 43 - acre OWASA property and the other is the adjacent 142-acre property owned by Dennis Howell. [Howell LLC] Staff was instructed to conduct assessments, appraisals, surveys, etc . on each property and come back at the earliest opportunity and present the work . Presumably they would select one of the two sites . Staff was also directed to come back on January 22nd with a proposal to initiate a citizen advisory group consisting of residents who live in that part of the county to assist the County in development of the transfer station at one of those locations . Sassaman asks where are you with the assessments . Wilson states that they are in the final stages of concluding an agreement with a property appraiser . The survey is already under contract. A surface water assessment has been requested . Letters were sent to both property owners notifying them that their property had been selected for investigation and assessment by the BOCC and asked for permission to conduct the various assessments . One of the property owners did not provide that permission . Subsequently a letter of 30- day right of entry notice followed . The OWASA Board wanted to know in more detail the type of assessments that is going to be conducted because they have some sludge there . The OWASA Board meets on January 22nd to consider how to respond to the County ' s inquiry . 4
