[0:08] The next item on our
agenda. Matters less than
[0:12] a 100 said. Waste
Management Board. In motion
[0:19] unless a specific request for
review is made by a board member or
[0:22] a member of the public does anyone from
the public request. Anything from the.
[0:34] From the board to remove
anything from the. Same Is there
[0:41] a motion.
[0:49] For motion is there
[0:49] a 2nd 2nd which has been
seconded in favor say aye aye.
[0:58] Here. Is for oral communication
time for people just for.
[1:06] Patients matters. To anyone in
the public that would like to.
[1:13] Speak to an item that is not. Seen.
[1:20] The next item on our agenda is approved
the board calendar for fiscal year 2920
[1:27] which is on page $26.00. Pack.
[1:39] Would you like me to use would you put yes
or certainly So each year the board of
[1:44] directors reviews the calendar for the
upcoming year just to make sure the other
[1:50] isn't
[1:50] a desire to change the dates the meeting
time or even the place so this is just
[1:56] sort of an annual check and if you will
but for the calendar in particular we are
[2:01] proposing this here typically we meet on
the 2nd Thursday of each month with the
[2:07] exception of August and the summer we
are proposing to the board that we also
[2:14] not meet on February. The need to meet as
frequently as we have needed to over the
[2:21] last number of years has been
reduced because we're getting
[2:24] a lot of the projects moving and sort of
out of the way and they're really moving
[2:27] more in-house if you will in terms of we
have our directions now and we're working
[2:32] on implementation and so we're bringing
policy and budgetary. Questions to the
[2:37] board in addition to projects
that may need Board approval and
[2:42] a number of the items that we're handling
now or are increasingly being handled
[2:45] in-house because we have that direction
that we need for implementation and so in
[2:50] looking at the last few
years February medians have
[2:54] a tendency to be pretty light sometimes
we've had to cancel them because we just
[2:58] haven't had the items. And
the. In addition to after this
[3:05] was put out taking
[3:07] a look at the I don't know for next month's
meeting the only 2 items that we have
[3:13] are for the minutes of this meeting and the
financials of that is not to say there
[3:19] weren't busy working on projects internally
and I'll go over that during my EDI
[3:23] report it's just that there is not
[3:26] a need for the board so what we would be
asking the board to do is to approve the
[3:33] calendar as presented and add cancellation
of the. Elia love and meeting we're
[3:40] happy to meet if you would like to the
other thing I would add is that just as
[3:44] a matter of routine go ahead and save that
2nd Thursday of the month and for some
[3:51] reason we have a need to meet because
things do happen. Which simply call
[3:58] a special meeting for that same
2nd Thursday of the month.
[4:05] OK comments from the board.
Comments from the public.
[4:15] Entertain
[4:16] a motion to approve
counter of. 20192020 with
[4:24] the addition of cancellation
of the July. 4th.
[4:36] Correct correct how make a motion of
[4:40] a motion. It
[4:48] was. Paul Bremer say. Cure.
[4:58] Item on the agenda. With order
of officers for fiscal year
[5:04] 20192020. Certainly
[5:11] So powers agreement requires that the board
appoint the board officers on an annual
[5:15] basis that occurs typically on each fiscal
year the term will begin in July and our
[5:21] current share is Michael Sweeney from
Ferndale and our vice chair is Frank Wilson
[5:26] from Rio del And so we're simply asking
that the board you know open up for
[5:30] discussion amongst yourselves today Turman
who you would like to lead the charge
[5:34] for the next year and wish
to speak on this topic.
[5:43] I'm open to doing so. One
more years mayor of.
[5:51] This one so I should be around.
[5:59] The world about the bush are doing
[6:01] a pretty good job. Other
[6:17] people. For.
[6:25] You know I'm interested in some point
being involved but being fairly new to
[6:30] support I'm pretty happy just continue
to get more familiar with the board
[6:37] practices and procedures Yeah I feel the
same way so happy to keep it the way it is
[6:44] . Say on this topic.
[6:57] For
[6:58] a. New people. Keep
[7:19] I am. As chair of the board and
Frank coarseness vice chair.
[7:35] Thank you. Board member report.
[9:04] Frank was saying that. One of the objections
to the project has been. There doesn't
[9:11] seem to be
[9:11] a point for decommissioning this.
Project if it's built so that something
[9:18] . Potentially for the type of
[9:25] material that it is is probably something
that would be pretty easily source
[9:29] recycled so I think people are talking
more about the concrete basis.
[9:36] And one thing that might be included in
environmental impacts or potentially would
[9:40] be
[9:41] a. Disposal for for the project
which case we would be happy to
[9:47] review it if that's included. Lifetime
is 30 years that's what their project
[9:56] so in the project could be
much good food program. You.
[10:04] Know it would be for their.
Own other topics the
[10:11] city of Arcadia is to preserve
on banning restricting.
[10:22] The of. The council members. For.
[10:29] Smaller. Banding So those are.
[10:45] Less And let's say we had a presentation
at the last council meeting by
[10:51] a feral waste humbled. And they are
preparing to enter at the forthcoming
[10:58] Council meeting will be entering into
an increment with them that they'll be
[11:03] a creating plans with the city of
Eureka. Something I did express at that
[11:10] last meeting as kind of looking beyond.
[11:16] Bags I mean and they're
great but also. Have
[11:21] a larger factors and don't waste production
like Akon struction waste and things
[11:27] like that and so hopefully
[11:29] a. More systemic challenges. We
[11:36] continue bring those to the forefront.
[11:53] Fisher as they are working
on a kind of a P.R.
[11:56] Campaign to friends like video and intricate
informational things about how to
[12:03] Erika shift the thinking around
purchasing habits and things like that
[12:10] so. Give us
[12:17] a presentation. I'm sure they are happy
[12:24] to can think of your presentation. Yet.
[12:32] This coming. To discuss
[12:39] the crease for recycling which
I guess. The market is.
[12:48] Depressed. Because of China.
[12:58] Countries trying to close their
doors to waste from. Nations.
[13:07] Ever report. The big question for.
[13:15] You.
[13:22] And. The.
[13:30] Best place to. Talk about.
[13:39] Print of brochure that she put together
[13:42] a. Paper. Paper.
[13:52] Trying to do. Just.
[14:05] Putting in the trash same question to.
[14:17] Future.
[14:25] Directors. Generally kind of straight
that's pretty quickly because.
[14:33] In the form of you have
[14:36] a tendency to want to read things
1st but I want to highlight
[14:39] a couple. Of items. That. I
[14:46] was able to make
[14:47] a presentation to both the board of supervisors
as well as the city of Ferndale in
[14:51] the last couple of weeks and next week
I'll be before the city of Rio del as well
[14:56] as the city of Arcadia moving forward I
still haven't heard anything from the lake
[15:03] so. It's not just offered to suffer you
just let it go but why not be before you
[15:10] guys is not because I have an offer for.
Whatever you guys would like to have me
[15:15] come forward I'm happy to and of course
made the presentation already to the city
[15:19] of Eureka. And again if any of you are
aware of any groups or organizations that
[15:24] would be interested in receiving
[15:26] a similar presentation or happy to make
that happen also. I want to know that.
[15:33] In particular. Internally we are doing
[15:38] a lot of work on our our policies that are
becoming for before you so our personnel
[15:43] policies and we're looking at actually
without the July meeting perhaps taking
[15:49] a look at the entire handbook they can
come to you for some revisions it was last
[15:54] completely overhauled in 2009
there has been specific policy
[16:01] changes periodic League but now wanting
to do is take over but most comprehensive
[16:06] look at making sure that everything is
going to be consistent and internally
[16:10] consistent also so that will be coming
forward in the next couple of months. We are
[16:17] also one of the things the authority was
set up in our personnel policies and all
[16:23] the valuations are due in June all of
them so. We're busy writing all of the
[16:29] evaluations percent of them to the
employees so if that ends up just being
[16:33] a pretty big. Time demand and so one of
the one of our proposed actions will be
[16:40] that we're issuing evaluations of the
anniversary of hire date that will be make it
[16:44] much more manageable for everybody is
working with our employees so one thing
[16:50] that's kind of exciting for if is. First
off which implemented the household
[16:57] hazardous waste to 6 days
[16:59] a week and that has been moving forward
very well the next component that we're
[17:04] working on with Deirdre and Laurel is
to expand our existing reuse program
[17:11] specifically it is for busy pain right
now but we're looking at being able to
[17:15] expand it to include use household hazardous.
Materials to come in so you know look
[17:22] at like Windex containers that are like 3
quarters full or whatever so if it's in
[17:26] the original container and it's appears
to be in good shape and everything else
[17:32] then it's something that we're going to
consider so we'll be working with Nancy on
[17:37] making sure that we have all of the.
Liabilities that are related to that but it is
[17:42] an expansion of an existing
program it's something that
[17:45] a larger number of larger entities
have developed over the years and it's
[17:49] a great way to make sure that we're actually
using all of that as opposed to having
[17:53] to dispose of it as hazardous
waste. They. Are sort of
[18:00] bigger items if you will is we've completed
the annual strong water inspection
[18:04] which is done annually. An all star
water report for this this year has
[18:11] been completed uploaded to the state
of California smart system and
[18:18] will be meeting with
[18:20] a contractor pre-construction meeting for
the stormwater perfect projects at the
[18:26] transfer station. Michael you are here.
[18:34] I don't think there are you guys were
here. When we did Cummings road burn ash
[18:40] project one of our conditions was that
we had 35 years of monitoring for both
[18:47] vegetation addition to bottle
removal. We will be undertaking
[18:52] a bottle removal next Monday it
will take about a week maybe
[18:57] a city residents that
are come up you know as
[18:59] a result of storms or what and this is
clearly our 5th and final year of having to
[19:03] do the monitoring and so that's going to
be completing the project in its entirety
[19:08] and realize how all of our board members
have changed over that time period but
[19:13] it's
[19:13] a significant milestone and it means that
is the. Particular project from foe. That
[19:20] piece has been really knife. The other
thing that I want to call to your
[19:27] attention that we may need some assistance
from all of you is that the chair of the
[19:32] local task force and the chair of the
task force is responsible for helping to
[19:37] evaluate and identify regional issues
of concerns around Waste Management
[19:44] they are proposing to
meet not just the once
[19:47] a year for to actually move it to at least
quarterly meetings tentatively we were
[19:53] looking at it chill I'd 12 that they might
be kind of moving around little bit
[19:57] because he's having difficulty getting
people to confirm their ability to attend
[20:01] those meetings so if all of you could
check with your staff to make sure that
[20:08] they realize the importance of this what
we're talking about those are always
[20:12] strategies it's really wonderful that all
the cities are taking this all and but it
[20:16] was also equally important that
you know we be moving forward as
[20:20] a region so that we don't have conflicting
messages between our communities because
[20:25] we really want to make sure that you know
the general public it's easier for them
[20:30] to understand. And you know how and why and
that we're all living together in sort
[20:35] of
[20:35] a uniform manner to see better waste
handling if our materials in addition to
[20:42] some of the goals and objectives
that we all have I think there's
[20:45] a lot of common ground on that one so that
forum is really important so we need to
[20:51] see support of that forum so that what I
want to make sure that you're aware of I
[20:57] don't know for certain what they are because
like I said it's starting to change
[21:00] between the time this was printed and
and today. If you have any questions
[21:06] certainly we're happy to provide information
once it becomes available for the
[21:11] local task force chair. Form. From an.
[21:20] I know this is a forum so basically it's
[21:23] a meeting so it's oh OK so. First it's
[21:30] a state mandate every county has to have
a local task force to examine these A.B.
[21:35] 939 the integrated waste management.
They're supposed to meet at least once
[21:41] a year the membership is comprised of
[21:44] a representative from each city and the
county the city manager determines who they
[21:51] attend they will be for each
respective city that is correct so.
[21:59] The task force chair has been trying
to get people to respond to your
[22:06] availability to attend the meeting and he's
had some difficulty in doing that so I
[22:12] let him know that I
would. Convey that. To.
[22:22] Absolutely happy too. I would be
happy to if the fair interested
[22:28] in attending that meeting would it be
wise to mention and to see the Main Tera
[22:35] prospectus a managers so I want
to just point out that this is
[22:40] a brother committee it is noticed and the
public is encouraged to welcome to attend
[22:49] and that concludes my report.
[22:57] To. Rebuild.
[23:04] The financial Yes So.
[23:10] So. At the coming landfill the
[23:17] way that materials handle from like
the 1930 S. Until the late 1960 S.
[23:22] Is that material would come up there it
would be open air burden they would just
[23:25] push it down on both sides of the ravine
the land fill it up being developed on the
[23:29] north side that incorporated that material
and that's when we got the cleanup
[23:34] abatement order because there was this
left over debris that straddled property
[23:41] that we owned in addition to the other
property that we're calling So we got
[23:44] a choice clean up an abatement order for
that cleanup so we went through and over
[23:49] 90000 cubic yards of material was removed
it was excavated and placed up into the
[23:55] phase 2 area of the landfill capped and
covered but in the meantime as rain events
[24:01] occur or settling continues to occur you
know we get little amounts of debris that
[24:07] comes out and. The regional boarded the
per They put anything more than 3 inches
[24:13] had to be removed but when the. Regulator
came out on for the fight she said I want
[24:19] to see anything over one inch so it gets
pretty small so they're going down into
[24:25] the creek bed and so when we get these
higher rainfall events scour some of the
[24:31] banks away it does
continue to open up just
[24:34] a bottle to bury the contaminated soil
that has all been removed the contaminated
[24:40] soil contained heavy metals that was
all brought back to native soil we've
[24:46] verified that through pretty extensive to
see both random and through laboratory
[24:50] testing so the soil is not the issue it's
the inert which are the bottle of little
[24:55] ceramic pieces that may be there and so
we're just continuing to clean that up.
[25:03] Also of course it's hard. Or. It's
going to be fixed it's 6 days
[25:10] a week now. We're doing it Saturdays. So
[25:17] I'm actually going to stop there
for a minute because I have
[25:19] a few different times in my white brain I
don't want to confuse anything but I have
[25:23] to come up and just hit the hours
and then the award shows to please
[25:35] explain I think rightfully so make sure
that he's got there on the file it's open
[25:41] from 8 to 4 on Saturdays and then we're
close for lunches from 12 to one and the
[25:46] Monday Friday same thing. So no more night
90 specials so it's $8.00 to $4.00 and
[25:54] it did pick up at 1st we were skating you
know there to every business on the 1st
[25:58] Saturday and it would be pretty slow for
the last 3 this last weekend to pick up to
[26:02] it it was adorable. They were saying
crowds and so we're hoping it's going to
[26:08] equalise are
[26:08] a lot of people have been hearing the
ads that I've been reading on the radio
[26:11] saying that our open on Saturdays
star the message is getting out.
[26:20] You have to. Yes.
[26:31] Your comments.
[26:41] So much so so. True and true. See you in
[26:48] September the special happens.
