REQUESTS FROM OTHER COUNTIES DESIRING PLANS OF OUR COLLECTOR STATIONS TO USE AS A MODEL; IT, THEREFORE, SEEMS THAT THE PROBLEM IS WITH THE PUBLIC, NOT THE SITES. COMMISSIONER FLETCHER THEN ASKED ABOUT TAKING THE NECESSARY FUNDS FROM THE LANDFILL CAPITAL ACCOUNT, AND THE ADMINISTRATOR STATED THAT PROVIDING THESE SERVICES TO THE COUNTY IS SEPARATE FROM THE LANDFILL ENTERPRISE ACCOUNT, AND, IN ADDITION, THE LANDFILL ACCOUNT HAS MANY RESTRICTIONS DUE TO THE BOND ISSUE WHICH WOULD NOT ALLOW THE USE OF THE ACCOUNT. IT WAS FELT THE FUNDS WOULD COME OUT OF THE MULTI-PURPOSE MUNICIPAL SERVICES ACCOUNT. COMMISSIONER WODTKE COMMENTED THAT AS POPULATION GROWS AND VOLUME INCREASES, WE MAY HAVE TO TAKE A FURTHER LOOK AT THE COST OF OPERATING THESE STATIONS, DOCUMENT COSTS, AND POSSIBLY SET UP CHARGES OR HAVE ATTENDANTS, BUT IN THE MEANTIME, HE WAS OF THE OPINION WE SHOULD UTILIZE THE PROPOSED ADDITIONAL EMPLOYEE, PLUS PRISON LABOR, TO CLEAN UP THESE SITES WHICH ARE A DISGRACE AS WELL AS A HAZARD TO PUBLIC HEALTH. ON MOTION BY COMMISSIONER BIRD, SECONDED BY COMMISSIONER SCURLOCK, THE BOARD BY A 4 TO 1 VOTE, COMMISSIONER FLETCHER VOTING IN OPPOSITION, ACCEPTED THE RECOMMENDATION OF THE ADMINISTRATOR RE POLICING AND CLEANING OF TRANSFER SITES AS PER HIS MEMO OF FEBRU- ARY 5, 1981, ROAD SIGN INVENTORY ` ADMINISTRATOR NELSON EXPLAINED THAT THE PROPOSED ROAD SIGN INVENTORY WOULD INVOLVE THE USE OF RETIRED PERSONS WHO WOULD WORK IN TEAMS IN VARIOUS AREAS TO FILL OUT A SET FORM DESCRIBING EACH SIGN OR LACK OF SIGN AT CERTAIN LOCATIONS. THIS IS A TREMENDOUS PROJECT WHICH WOULD REQUIRE VISUAL INSPECTION OF EACH LOCATION, AND IT WOULD INVOLVE ALL TYPE SIGNS - STOP SIGNS, STREET NAME SIGNS, SPEED LIMIT SIGNS, ETC, HE STATED THAT HE WAS ASKING FOR AUTHORITY TO APPLY FOR A GRANT IN ORDER TO CONDUCT SUCH AN INVENTORY. MOTION WAS MADE BY COMMISSIONER SCURLOCK, SECONDED BY COM- MISSIONER WODTKE, TO AUTHORIZE THE ADMINISTRATOR TO PROCEED WITH A GRANT APPLICATION FOR THE PURPOSE OF CONDUCTING A ROAD SIGN INVENTORY.
