Merabers Present: Lyle Rosenow, Howard Geese, Ray Ziegler, Cecil Femling, Bert Olson, Joe Fehrenbach, Vince Robertson, Chet Gunvoldson, George Pal~er, Torn Burau Members Absent: Jim Osterfeld Others Present: Mike Hanan Minutes of January 17, 1991 and February 14, 1991 approved as submitted. Motion by Cecil second by Howard and approved unanimously. The committee discussed the advertising and interviewing of applicants for the position of Recycling Center Manager. Cecil and Lyle will assist Mike Hanan and Larry Krohn in the interview process. The possible solid waste storage facility was discussed. The comraittee was generally no in favor of a solid waste s~orage facility being located in Otter Tail County. After much discussion the following motion by George and sec;'l.d by Cecil was adopted unanir,10usly: RecoQraend to the Ot:er Tail County Board that Otter Tail County nae particiapce in a Solid Waste Storage Facility if the facility is co be located in Otter Tail County. The reasons given were as follows: 1. Otter Tail County has already accepted considerable responsibility for regional solid waste raanagernent through its contracts for the operation of 2 landfills and 2 incinerators in Otter Tail County. 2. Although all of the joint powers counties have accepted liability for their contributions of waste to the incinerators and land- fills the long term risks associated with the sites being located in Otter Tail County will ultimately be borne by Otter Tail County. J. Otter Tail County has already invested considerable amount of Otte~ Tail County dollars in pojects fro1:1 the road and railroad crossing to the ash monocell. In a ti □e when revenue dollars are short it does not seem prudent to invest dollars in regional projects that may take fron 5 co 10 years to recoup. 4. Otter Tail Counties participation in multi-county owned facilities in the past have not worked to the benefit of Otter Tail County residents. u 0 OtttifoTail County Board of Commissioners May 1, 1991 Page 10 Exhibit I -2- 5. Finally, the coranittee feels that price to the construction of any waste storage facility that raost, if not all, of the joint powers counties should do a better job of assuring that a greater percentage of the waste generated within their county is collected so that all counties would have a better handle of their actual solid waste volumes. Next meeting Thursday, April 11, 1991 at 7:30 P.M.
