Pack. 14 00:01:39,160 --> 00:01:44,350 Would you like me to use would you put yes or certainly So each year the board of 15 00:01:44,360 --> 00:01:49,760 directors reviews the calendar for the upcoming year just to make sure the other 16 00:01:50,570 --> 00:01:50,870 isn't 17 00:01:50,910 --> 00:01:56,890 a desire to change the dates the meeting time or even the place so this is just 18 00:01:56,900 --> 00:02:01,770 sort of an annual check and if you will but for the calendar in particular we are 19 00:02:01,780 --> 00:02:07,080 proposing this here typically we meet on the 2nd Thursday of each month with the 20 00:02:07,090 --> 00:02:14,030 exception of August and the summer we are proposing to the board that we also 21 00:02:14,670 --> 00:02:21,070 not meet on February. The need to meet as frequently as we have needed to over the 22 00:02:21,080 --> 00:02:24,010 last number of years has been reduced because we're getting 23 00:02:24,020 --> 00:02:27,890 a lot of the projects moving and sort of out of the way and they're really moving 24 00:02:27,900 --> 00:02:32,350 more in-house if you will in terms of we have our directions now and we're working 25 00:02:32,360 --> 00:02:37,530 on implementation and so we're bringing policy and budgetary. Questions to the 26 00:02:37,540 --> 00:02:41,990 board in addition to projects that may need Board approval and 27 00:02:42,030 --> 00:02:45,560 a number of the items that we're handling now or are increasingly being handled 28 00:02:45,570 --> 00:02:50,270 in-house because we have that direction that we need for implementation and so in 29 00:02:50,310 --> 00:02:54,110 looking at the last few years February medians have 30 00:02:54,120 --> 00:02:58,080 a tendency to be pretty light sometimes we've had to cancel them because we just 31 00:02:58,090 --> 00:03:04,970 haven't had the items. And the. In addition to after this 32 00:03:05,400 --> 00:03:07,830 was put out taking 33 00:03:07,840 --> 00:03:13,030 a look at the I don't know for next month's meeting the only 2 items that we have 34 00:03:13,040 --> 00:03:19,340 are for the minutes of this meeting and the financials of that is not to say there 35 00:03:19,350 --> 00:03:23,970 weren't busy working on projects internally and I'll go over that during my EDI 36 00:03:23,980 --> 00:03:26,580 report it's just that there is not 37 00:03:26,590 --> 00:03:32,860 a need for the board so what we would be asking the board to do is to approve the 38 00:03:33,550 --> 00:03:40,550 calendar as presented and add cancellation of the. Elia love and meeting we're 39 00:03:40,560 --> 00:03:44,710 happy to meet if you would like to the other thing I would add is that just as 40 00:03:44,720 --> 00:03:51,610 a matter of routine go ahead and save that 2nd Thursday of the month and for some 41 00:03:51,620 --> 00:03:58,280 reason we have a need to meet because things do happen. Which simply call 42 00:03:58,290 --> 00:04:01,320 a special meeting for that same 2nd Thursday of the month. 43 00:04:05,653 --> 00:04:11,704 OK comments from the board. Comments from the public. 44 00:04:15,766 --> 00:04:16,206 Entertain 45 00:04:16,216 --> 00:04:24,629 a motion to approve counter of. 20192020 with 46 00:04:24,639 --> 00:04:29,029 the addition of cancellation of the July. 4th. 47 00:04:36,229 --> 00:04:40,901 Correct correct how make a motion of 48 00:04:40,911 --> 00:04:48,152 a motion. It 49 00:04:48,162 --> 00:04:55,094 was. Paul Bremer say. Cure. 50 00:04:58,715 --> 00:05:04,165 Item on the agenda. With order of officers for fiscal year 51 00:05:04,175 --> 00:05:11,046 20192020. Certainly 52 00:05:11,056 --> 00:05:15,836 So powers agreement requires that the board appoint the board officers on an annual 53 00:05:15,846 --> 00:05:21,696 basis that occurs typically on each fiscal year the term will begin in July and our 54 00:05:21,706 --> 00:05:26,066 current share is Michael Sweeney from Ferndale and our vice chair is Frank Wilson 55 00:05:26,076 --> 00:05:30,236 from Rio del And so we're simply asking that the board you know open up for 56 00:05:30,246 --> 00:05:34,626 discussion amongst yourselves today Turman who you would like to lead the charge 57 00:05:34,636 --> 00:05:40,638 for the next year and wish to speak on this topic. 58 00:05:43,550 --> 00:05:49,652 I'm open to doing so. One more years mayor of. 59 00:05:51,883 --> 00:05:54,303 This one so I should be around. 60 00:05:59,904 --> 00:06:01,894 The world about the bush are doing 61 00:06:01,904 --> 00:06:17,511 a pretty good job. Other 62 00:06:17,521 --> 00:06:24,053 people. For. 63 00:06:25,694 --> 00:06:30,294 You know I'm interested in some point being involved but being fairly new to 64 00:06:30,304 --> 00:06:36,304 support I'm pretty happy just continue to get more familiar with the board 65 00:06:37,214 --> 00:06:44,074 practices and procedures Yeah I feel the same way so happy to keep it the way it is 66 00:06:44,074 --> 00:06:49,636 . Say on this topic. 67 00:06:57,819 --> 00:06:58,019 For 68 00:06:58,029 --> 00:07:18,857 a. New people. Keep 69 00:07:19,027 --> 00:07:24,127 I am. As chair of the board and Frank coarseness vice chair. 70 00:07:35,460 --> 00:07:40,840 Thank you. Board member report. 71 00:09:04,705 --> 00:09:11,315 Frank was saying that. One of the objections to the project has been. There doesn't 72 00:09:11,325 --> 00:09:11,645 seem to be 73 00:09:11,655 --> 00:09:18,685 a point for decommissioning this. Project if it's built so that something 74 00:09:18,685 --> 00:09:25,650 . Potentially for the type of 75 00:09:25,660 --> 00:09:29,180 material that it is is probably something that would be pretty easily source 76 00:09:29,190 --> 00:09:33,880 recycled so I think people are talking more about the concrete basis. 77 00:09:36,191 --> 00:09:40,481 And one thing that might be included in environmental impacts or potentially would 78 00:09:40,491 --> 00:09:40,741 be 79 00:09:41,111 --> 00:09:47,981 a. Disposal for for the project which case we would be happy to 80 00:09:47,991 --> 00:09:54,922 review it if that's included. Lifetime is 30 years that's what their project 81 00:09:56,212 --> 00:10:03,122 so in the project could be much good food program. You. 82 00:10:04,702 --> 00:10:11,193 Know it would be for their. Own other topics the 83 00:10:11,863 --> 00:10:16,943 city of Arcadia is to preserve on banning restricting. 84 00:10:22,365 --> 00:10:28,125 The of. The council members. For. 85 00:10:29,215 --> 00:10:34,546 Smaller. Banding So those are. 86 00:10:45,701 --> 00:10:51,941 Less And let's say we had a presentation at the last council meeting by 87 00:10:51,951 --> 00:10:58,601 a feral waste humbled. And they are preparing to enter at the forthcoming 88 00:10:58,611 --> 00:11:03,431 Council meeting will be entering into an increment with them that they'll be 89 00:11:03,441 --> 00:11:10,411 a creating plans with the city of Eureka. Something I did express at that 90 00:11:10,421 --> 00:11:14,821 last meeting as kind of looking beyond. 91 00:11:16,901 --> 00:11:21,571 Bags I mean and they're great but also. Have 92 00:11:21,581 --> 00:11:27,701 a larger factors and don't waste production like Akon struction waste and things 93 00:11:27,711 --> 00:11:29,681 like that and so hopefully 94 00:11:29,691 --> 00:11:36,321 a. More systemic challenges. We 95 00:11:36,731 --> 00:11:38,401 continue bring those to the forefront. 96 00:11:53,787 --> 00:11:56,497 Fisher as they are working on a kind of a P.R. 97 00:11:56,507 --> 00:12:03,367 Campaign to friends like video and intricate informational things about how to 98 00:12:03,377 --> 00:12:08,477 Erika shift the thinking around purchasing habits and things like that 99 00:12:10,088 --> 00:12:16,529 so. Give us 100 00:12:17,239 --> 00:12:24,099 a presentation. I'm sure they are happy 101 00:12:24,669 --> 00:12:30,149 to can think of your presentation. Yet. 102 00:12:32,910 --> 00:12:39,120 This coming. To discuss 103 00:12:39,970 --> 00:12:46,311 the crease for recycling which I guess. The market is. 104 00:12:48,722 --> 00:12:55,004 Depressed. Because of China. 105 00:12:58,346 --> 00:13:04,396 Countries trying to close their doors to waste from. Nations. 106 00:13:07,227 --> 00:13:13,097 Ever report. The big question for. 107 00:13:15,037 --> 00:13:15,087 You. 108 00:13:22,340 --> 00:13:28,460 And. The. 109 00:13:30,900 --> 00:13:35,691 Best place to. Talk about. 110 00:13:39,024 --> 00:13:42,004 Print of brochure that she put together 111 00:13:42,514 --> 00:13:49,335 a. Paper. Paper. 112 00:13:52,285 --> 00:13:55,515 Trying to do. Just. 113 00:14:05,919 --> 00:14:08,739 Putting in the trash same question to. 114 00:14:17,242 --> 00:14:17,722 Future. 115 00:14:25,283 --> 00:14:31,403 Directors. Generally kind of straight that's pretty quickly because. 116 00:14:33,726 --> 00:14:36,396 In the form of you have 117 00:14:36,406 --> 00:14:39,796 a tendency to want to read things 1st but I want to highlight 118 00:14:39,806 --> 00:14:46,770 a couple. Of items. That. I 119 00:14:46,780 --> 00:14:47,390 was able to make 120 00:14:47,400 --> 00:14:51,960 a presentation to both the board of supervisors as well as the city of Ferndale in 121 00:14:51,970 --> 00:14:56,940 the last couple of weeks and next week I'll be before the city of Rio del as well 122 00:14:56,950 --> 00:15:03,170 as the city of Arcadia moving forward I still haven't heard anything from the lake 123 00:15:03,210 --> 00:15:10,120 so. It's not just offered to suffer you just let it go but why not be before you 124 00:15:10,130 --> 00:15:15,230 guys is not because I have an offer for. Whatever you guys would like to have me 125 00:15:15,240 --> 00:15:19,230 come forward I'm happy to and of course made the presentation already to the city 126 00:15:19,240 --> 00:15:24,800 of Eureka. And again if any of you are aware of any groups or organizations that 127 00:15:24,810 --> 00:15:26,010 would be interested in receiving 128 00:15:26,020 --> 00:15:31,760 a similar presentation or happy to make that happen also. I want to know that. 129 00:15:33,430 --> 00:15:38,080 In particular. Internally we are doing 130 00:15:38,090 --> 00:15:43,600 a lot of work on our our policies that are becoming for before you so our personnel 131 00:15:43,610 --> 00:15:49,830 policies and we're looking at actually without the July meeting perhaps taking 132 00:15:49,840 --> 00:15:54,860 a look at the entire handbook they can come to you for some revisions it was last 133 00:15:54,870 --> 00:16:01,490 completely overhauled in 2009 there has been specific policy 134 00:16:01,500 --> 00:16:06,370 changes periodic League but now wanting to do is take over but most comprehensive 135 00:16:06,380 --> 00:16:10,980 look at making sure that everything is going to be consistent and internally 136 00:16:10,990 --> 00:16:17,180 consistent also so that will be coming forward in the next couple of months. We are 137 00:16:17,190 --> 00:16:23,450 also one of the things the authority was set up in our personnel policies and all 138 00:16:23,460 --> 00:16:29,840 the valuations are due in June all of them so. We're busy writing all of the 139 00:16:29,850 --> 00:16:33,860 evaluations percent of them to the employees so if that ends up just being 140 00:16:33,870 --> 00:16:40,110 a pretty big. Time demand and so one of the one of our proposed actions will be 141 00:16:40,590 --> 00:16:44,730 that we're issuing evaluations of the anniversary of hire date that will be make it 142 00:16:44,810 --> 00:16:50,770 much more manageable for everybody is working with our employees so one thing 143 00:16:50,780 --> 00:16:57,150 that's kind of exciting for if is. First off which implemented the household 144 00:16:57,160 --> 00:16:59,560 hazardous waste to 6 days 145 00:16:59,570 --> 00:17:04,580 a week and that has been moving forward very well the next component that we're 146 00:17:04,590 --> 00:17:11,120 working on with Deirdre and Laurel is to expand our existing reuse program 147 00:17:11,500 --> 00:17:15,920 specifically it is for busy pain right now but we're looking at being able to 148 00:17:15,930 --> 00:17:22,120 expand it to include use household hazardous. Materials to come in so you know look 149 00:17:22,130 --> 00:17:26,760 at like Windex containers that are like 3 quarters full or whatever so if it's in 150 00:17:26,770 --> 00:17:32,000 the original container and it's appears to be in good shape and everything else 151 00:17:32,300 --> 00:17:36,930 then it's something that we're going to consider so we'll be working with Nancy on 152 00:17:37,030 --> 00:17:42,220 making sure that we have all of the. Liabilities that are related to that but it is 153 00:17:42,230 --> 00:17:45,250 an expansion of an existing program it's something that 154 00:17:45,580 --> 00:17:49,810 a larger number of larger entities have developed over the years and it's 155 00:17:49,820 --> 00:17:53,070 a great way to make sure that we're actually using all of that as opposed to having 156 00:17:53,080 --> 00:17:59,940 to dispose of it as hazardous waste. They. Are sort of 157 00:18:00,260 --> 00:18:04,800 bigger items if you will is we've completed the annual strong water inspection 158 00:18:04,810 --> 00:18:11,481 which is done annually. An all star water report for this this year has 159 00:18:11,521 --> 00:18:18,131 been completed uploaded to the state of California smart system and 160 00:18:18,921 --> 00:18:20,481 will be meeting with 161 00:18:20,601 --> 00:18:26,801 a contractor pre-construction meeting for the stormwater perfect projects at the 162 00:18:26,811 --> 00:18:32,650 transfer station. Michael you are here. 163 00:18:34,450 --> 00:18:40,690 I don't think there are you guys were here. When we did Cummings road burn ash 164 00:18:40,700 --> 00:18:47,080 project one of our conditions was that we had 35 years of monitoring for both 165 00:18:47,090 --> 00:18:52,270 vegetation addition to bottle removal. We will be undertaking 166 00:18:52,410 --> 00:18:57,400 a bottle removal next Monday it will take about a week maybe 167 00:18:57,410 --> 00:18:59,670 a city residents that are come up you know as 168 00:18:59,680 --> 00:19:03,960 a result of storms or what and this is clearly our 5th and final year of having to 169 00:19:03,970 --> 00:19:08,570 do the monitoring and so that's going to be completing the project in its entirety 170 00:19:08,580 --> 00:19:13,040 and realize how all of our board members have changed over that time period but 171 00:19:13,050 --> 00:19:13,670 it's 172 00:19:13,680 --> 00:19:20,600 a significant milestone and it means that is the. Particular project from foe. That 173 00:19:20,610 --> 00:19:27,420 piece has been really knife. The other thing that I want to call to your 174 00:19:27,430 --> 00:19:32,810 attention that we may need some assistance from all of you is that the chair of the 175 00:19:32,820 --> 00:19:36,930 local task force and the chair of the task force is responsible for helping to 176 00:19:37,900 --> 00:19:43,810 evaluate and identify regional issues of concerns around Waste Management 177 00:19:44,640 --> 00:19:47,190 they are proposing to meet not just the once 178 00:19:47,200 --> 00:19:53,050 a year for to actually move it to at least quarterly meetings tentatively we were 179 00:19:53,060 --> 00:19:57,700 looking at it chill I'd 12 that they might be kind of moving around little bit 180 00:19:57,710 --> 00:20:01,680 because he's having difficulty getting people to confirm their ability to attend 181 00:20:01,690 --> 00:20:08,210 those meetings so if all of you could check with your staff to make sure that 182 00:20:08,510 --> 00:20:12,450 they realize the importance of this what we're talking about those are always 183 00:20:12,460 --> 00:20:16,910 strategies it's really wonderful that all the cities are taking this all and but it 184 00:20:16,920 --> 00:20:20,610 was also equally important that you know we be moving forward as 185 00:20:20,620 --> 00:20:25,790 a region so that we don't have conflicting messages between our communities because 186 00:20:25,800 --> 00:20:30,240 we really want to make sure that you know the general public it's easier for them 187 00:20:30,250 --> 00:20:35,290 to understand.

Rebuild. 213 00:23:04,489 --> 00:23:06,239 The financial Yes So. 214 00:23:10,831 --> 00:23:17,620 So. At the coming landfill the 215 00:23:17,630 --> 00:23:22,150 way that materials handle from like the 1930 S. Until the late 1960 S. 216 00:23:22,160 --> 00:23:25,190 Is that material would come up there it would be open air burden they would just 217 00:23:25,200 --> 00:23:29,940 push it down on both sides of the ravine the land fill it up being developed on the 218 00:23:29,950 --> 00:23:34,310 north side that incorporated that material and that's when we got the cleanup 219 00:23:34,320 --> 00:23:41,080 abatement order because there was this left over debris that straddled property 220 00:23:41,090 --> 00:23:44,800 that we owned in addition to the other property that we're calling So we got 221 00:23:44,810 --> 00:23:49,970 a choice clean up an abatement order for that cleanup so we went through and over 222 00:23:49,980 --> 00:23:55,010 90000 cubic yards of material was removed it was excavated and placed up into the 223 00:23:55,020 --> 00:24:01,360 phase 2 area of the landfill capped and covered but in the meantime as rain events 224 00:24:01,370 --> 00:24:07,010 occur or settling continues to occur you know we get little amounts of debris that 225 00:24:07,020 --> 00:24:13,260 comes out and. The regional boarded the per They put anything more than 3 inches 226 00:24:13,270 --> 00:24:19,320 had to be removed but when the. Regulator came out on for the fight she said I want 227 00:24:19,330 --> 00:24:25,930 to see anything over one inch so it gets pretty small so they're going down into 228 00:24:25,940 --> 00:24:30,770 the creek bed and so when we get these higher rainfall events scour some of the 229 00:24:31,050 --> 00:24:34,120 banks away it does continue to open up just 230 00:24:34,130 --> 00:24:40,150 a bottle to bury the contaminated soil that has all been removed the contaminated 231 00:24:40,160 --> 00:24:46,580 soil contained heavy metals that was all brought back to native soil we've 232 00:24:46,620 --> 00:24:50,940 verified that through pretty extensive to see both random and through laboratory 233 00:24:50,950 --> 00:24:55,840 testing so the soil is not the issue it's the inert which are the bottle of little 234 00:24:55,850 --> 00:24:59,250 ceramic pieces that may be there and so we're just continuing to clean that up. 235 00:25:03,622 --> 00:25:10,577 Also of course it's hard.
