DIRECTOR OF OPERATIONS AND EDUCATION REPORT

EDUCATION: Liegois reported that 500 students were reached with the education programs. This number is down, which could be from the fact that gas prices are higher and that school are not taking as many field trips. Liegois has been assisting Carla Hilgenberg, a teacher from the Clinton School District with a environmental grant program.

The Enviro Kids program received an award from the 2005 Conservation Board. They will be doing a formal press release at a later date.

Upcoming planned events are a Compost Workshop, Enviro Kids for 2006, and the Schools Districts Enviro programs.

RCC: The building is done and new signs are up. Drop off area is done. Right now they are working on the inside of the new building.

BIO-REACTOR: November 15, 2005 the bio-reactor was closed down for the winter months. The operator, Dennis Redmon is helping with other items at the landfill. Redmon and Liegois are taking an online compost certification class.

IOWA DNR RULES FOR COMP PLAN AND PERMITTING (SEE ATTACHED) Liegois wants to know if the agency wants to participate in this endeavor in having an attorney check the law and write a letter to the DNR concerning the misinterpretation of the Iowa law by the DNR concerning existing Comp Plans and waste exportation through Iowa-permitted transfer stations. Ten agencies have issues concerning this misinterpretation of the Iowa Code. Those ten agencies will share the cost for the attorney fees and this could possibly run 2 to 3 hundred dollars for the attorney’s time in preparation of the letter and participation in any meetings or return correspondence from the DNR. Each agency will be billed for their share of the costs. After much discussion Delmar made a motion that we financially and publicly support this endeavor. DeWitt seconded the motion. Roll call vote was taken.

Clinton yes Clinton County yes DeWitt yes Camanche yes
