r •� ADMINISTRATOR JENNINGS REPORTED ON EVALUATION OF THE BIDS RECEIVED ON THE AIR CURTAIN DESTRUCTOR AND COMBUSTION CHAMBER AND RECOMMENDED ACCEPTING THE BID OF W. A. KUTRIEB, INC., IN THE AMOUNT OF $31,840. HE STATED THAT HE WOULD LIKE TO PROCEED WITH THIS BECAUSE IT WILL EXTEND THE LIFE OF THE LANDFILL. COMMISSIONER LOY ASKED IF THERE IS ANY QUESTION ABOUT OUR BEING ABLE TO PURCHASE THIS ADDITIONAL EQUIPMENT. THE ADMINISTRATOR FELT THERE IS NO PROBLEM AS LONG AS THE EQUIPMENT IS USED IN THE LANDFILL AND REASONABLY RELATED TO THE NEEDS OF THE LANDFILL. CHAIRMAN WODTKE NOTED THAT HE ORIGINALLY HAD THOUGHT THIS WOULD AMOUNT TO JUST $30,000, BUT BY THE TIME WE BUILD THE ROAD TO IT AND THE STAGING AREA, IT WILL BE AROUND $60,000. ADMINISTRATOR .JENNINGS CONFIRMED THAT THE COST OF INSTALLATION WOULD BE AROUND $30,000, BUT POINTED OUT THAT AN AIR CURTAIN DESTRUCTOR WOULD NOT ONLY REDUCE CHARGES, BUT ALSI) GREATLY INCREASE THE LIFE OF THE LANDFILL. HE STRESSED THAT THIS IS A METHOD APPROVED AND ENDORSED BY THE DER. CHAIRMAN WODTKE EXPRESSED CONCERN ABOUT THE STATEMENT THAT THIS WILL REDUCE THE CHARGES AT THE LANDFILL. HE NOTED THAT HE HAS NO PROBLEM WITH EXTENDING THE LIFE OF THE LANDFILL, BUT WHEN WE TALK ABOUT LOWERING THE RATES, HE FEELS THIS COULD BE MISLEADING BECAUSE. WE HAVE TO PAY THE BONDS OFF AND HAVE A CERTAIN RATE OF INCOME. ADMINISTRATOR .JENNINGS-EXPLAINED THAT WHAT HE MEANT WAS THAT WITH THIS EQUIPMENT, WE HAVE A POSSIBILITY OF REDUCING THE COST OF CERTAIN MATERIALS THAT GO INTO THE LANDFILL. IT WILL HAVE NO AFFECT ON GARBAGE AND THAT TYPE OF THING, BUT IT CAN REDUCE THE COST TO THE SALVAGER OR WRECKER WHO BRINGS IN MATERIALS THAT CAN BE BURNED. CHAIRMAN WODTKE ASKED IF RECORDS ARE BEING KEPT AS TO THE TYPE OF MATERIAL THAT IS COMING IN NOW. ASSISTANT ADMINISTRATOR NELSON STATED THAT RECORDS ARE BEING KEPT, AND IT IS RUNNING ABOUT.15% THAT TYPE OF MATERIAL. APR 19 BOOK 34 PAGF.326,
