The board seemed to favor a very simple set of <br />services focused mostly on just MSW and the existing ‘shed’ for oil, filters, <br />batteries and anti-freeze while eliminating any other services during the <br />construction period. There was no formal vote taken. <br /> <br />Topic D Solid Waste management plan three-year update. The State informed <br />Orange County, contrary to what we had believed and to past state <br />practice, the County’s three-year update to the ten year plan will now be <br />due December 2012, not June 30, 2012, and must include the electronics <br />recycling plan and an abandoned manufactured home plan for the County <br />or other entities to be eligible for state funding for those two programs, It is <br />not obvious at this point if all four governments will continue to collaborate <br />on the submittal as they have in the past. The SWAB did not therefore <br />take any action on recommending how the update might be pursued.
