MAR 2 19- 909 <br />Mr. Pinto noted that the Board previously authorized <br />determining the value of the property adjoining the Land- <br />fill, and it has been appraised at $119,230• Mr. Pinto <br />stressed that there is going to be a specific need for this <br />property; it will enhance the operation of the landfill; and <br />he urged that the Commission give serious consideration to <br />purchasing it. <br />Commissioner Scurlock asked if this would put us in <br />such a negative position that we could not consider a future <br />landfill in the north of the County. <br />Mr. Pinto stated that he has,/some real concern over the <br />future operation of our landfill as it exists now. There <br />are changes coming along rapidly in how we Vre going to have <br />to operate the landfill, and he felt if we want to take the <br />present landfill to its life expectancy, we will need this <br />property whether we eventually have two landfills or not. <br />MOTION WAS MADE by Commissioner Scurlock, <br />SECONDED by Commissioner Lyons, to authorize <br />staff to start negotiations for the property <br />recommended by the Utilities Director for <br />expansion of the Sanitary Landfill. <br />Chairman Bird felt part of the problem is because the <br />hardpan under the existing landfill property is not what we <br />thought, and he wished to know if we are sure the adjacent <br />property would be suitable. <br />Mr. Pinto noted that the DER is saying the hardpan is <br />not adequate for a landfill without a liner. This new site <br />could be used at least for a borrow pit, and he believed <br />that would be the prime use of the land. <br />THE CHAIRMAN CALLED FOR THE QUESTION. <br />It was voted on and carried unanimously. <br />55 <br />• <br />
