STANDING AND SUB COMMITTEES
OPERATIONS COMMITTEE MET SEPTEMBER 7, 2006, AT 5:45 PM. Liegois gave an overview at the meeting of what is happening at the landfill. The Bio-Reactor will operate until Thanksgiving, weather permitting. This has been a good year of operation for the bio-reactor.
In mid to late October we will have an Open House for the addition to the Household Hazardous Building, which is part of the grant requirement.
The committee talked about the Medical Waste and how to handle it. We would like to see a permit issued for an incinerator to handle this waste. It is not safe to flush the waste, even though that is what pharmacists tell you. The members of the agency think that it might be a good idea to have a one day event to help the citizens with a clean up of medical waste.
UNFINISHED BUSINESS:
A. ALLIED WASTE The company is not interested in purchasing the landfill at this time. Liegois is waiting to see if they are interested in the possibility of discussing a commercial contract.
NEW BUSINESS: (none)
EMERGENCY BUSINESS: (none)
Low Moor made a motion that we adjourn until our next regularly scheduled meeting on October 12, 2006, at the Recycling Center at 6:30. Clinton seconded the motion. Motion unanimously carried. Adjourned at 7:08 P.M.
