MOTION WAS MADE by Commissioner Scurlock, SECONDED <br />by Commissioner Bowman, that the Board approve the <br />recommendation of staff that a Right -of -Way Agent be <br />hired. <br />Commissioner Wodtke believed this will be a very key <br />position which needs just the right person. <br />THE CHAIRMAN CALLED FOR THE QUESTION. The Motion <br />carried unanimously. <br />REPORT ON SOLID WASTE SEMINAR <br />Utilities Services Director Terry Pinto reported that some <br />of the discussions held during the solid waste disposal seminar <br />in Washington, D. C. that he and Commissioner Scurlock attended, <br />clearly demonstrated that the way we have operated the landfill <br />and transportation of refuse is going to be a thing of the past <br />and we are going to have to look at some type of recycling or <br />resource recovery program and consider what it will save us in <br />landfill space and environmental protection. He advised he soon <br />will be proposing that a consultant be retained to look at a <br />solid waste master plan for Indian River County. One of the <br />immediate problems facing the County now is the composting of <br />septic waste and sludge, and the City of Vero Beach has indicated <br />they would be very interested in doing something jointly with us, <br />at least a study. He noted that while there is a market for <br />compost and sludge, this County will not have enough to market <br />because of our own needs. Director Pinto circulated a handout on <br />recycling. <br />Commissioner Scurlock felt that it was important to educate <br />the community as to how and why we are going to approach these <br />problems and the City has indicated that they would participate <br />in this also. <br />71 <br />MAY 8 1985 BOOK 60 FA'E s% <br />
