ON MOTION BY COMMISSIONER SIEBERT, SECONDED BY COM- MISSIONER LYONS, THE BOARD UNANIMOUSLY APPROVED ADDING TO THE AGENDA AN EMERGENCY ITEM REGARDING DEBRIS REMOVAL AS REQUESTED BY ASSISTANT ADMINISTRATOR NELSON. ASSISTANT ADMINISTRATOR NELSON ADVISED THE BOARD THAT THE CITY HAS MADE THE OFFER TO PICK UP, FREE OF CHARGE, ALL DEBRIS THAT WAS CAUSED BY THE HURRICANE; BUT THE COUNTY IS RESTRICTED, AS WE ARE NOT IN THE GARBAGE COLLECTION BUSINESS. HE RECOMMENDED THAT THE COUNTY EXTEND THE HOURS FROM 7:00 A.M. TO 9:00 P.M. AT THE LANDFILL FOR TWO WEEKS; CHARGE NOTHING FOR PEOPLE BRINGING IN DEBRIS; REDUCE THE CHARGE FOR COMMERCIAL VEHICLES; AND STAGE ALL DEBRIS FOR USE BY THE AIR CURTAIN DESTRUCTOR. CHAIRMAN WODTKE POINTED OUT THAT WE HAVE TO CHARGE $9 A TON FOR ANYTHING TAKEN TO THE LANDFILL; WE CANNOT ESTABLISH A DIFFERENT RATE. DISCUSSION FOLLOWED REGARDING DESIGNATING DIFFERENT AREAS THROUGHOUT THE COUNTY FOR THE DEBRIS, AND THE FACT THAT EACH SITE MUST BE CONTROLLED; OTHERWISE, GARBAGE WOULD BE INCLUDED IN WITH THE DEBRIS. ASSISTANT ADMINISTRATOR NELSON STATED THAT HE IS LOOKING INTO THE POSSIBILITY OF MAKING A CLAIM TO THE STATE FOR REIMBURSE- MENT FOR DEBRIS REMOVAL. HE FURTHER STATED THAT THE DIVISION OF FORESTRY COULD DESIGNATE THE AREAS WHERE WE COULD BURN THIS MATERIAL. INTERGOVERNMENTAL COORDINATOR THOMAS READ ALOUD A SECTION OF THE'BOND COVENANTS REGARDING THE ABOVE DISCUSSION. MOTION WAS MADE BY COMMISSIONER SIEBERT, SECONDED BY COMMISSIONER LYONS, TO AUTHORIZE THE ADMINISTRATORS OFFICE TO TAKE WHATEVER STEPS ARE NECESSARY WITHIN TWO WEEKS TO GET RID OF THE DEBRIS OTHER THAN GOING THROUGH THE LANDFILL. DISCUSSION FOLLOWED AND IT WAS FELT THE BURNING SHOULD BE DONE BY THE FORESTRY SERVICE OR UNDER THE FIRE DEPARTMENT'S SUPERVISION. . THE CHAIRMAN CALLED FOR THE QUESTION. IT WAS VOTED ON AND PASSED UNANIMOUSLY. SEP 51979 51 BOOK 41 FACE 49'7
