Commissioner Bowman asked about the possibility of any money <br />for this under the SWIM Bill, and City Manager Little felt some <br />may be some left in EPA and they are taking steps for a grant and <br />Will probably try to get some money out of the SWIM Bill. <br />DISCUSSION RE PROPERTY FOR NATIONAL GUARD <br />Commissioner Bird noted that Commissioner Eggert brought to <br />his attention that the National Guard is looking for a site in <br />the county for an armory. He believed the Board is receptive to <br />having a unit here, but we have searched our inventory of land <br />and can't come up with a 20 acre site. <br />City Manager Little advised that the National Guard talked <br />to the City, and the City has nothing to offer either. <br />Commissioner Bird asked about the possibility of any <br />property at the old landfill site and how long we have to go <br />before that is usable. <br />City Manager Little pointed out that if the property is part <br />of the Airport District, it can't be leased for a dollar. He did <br />not believe the part of the old landfill closest to the road is <br />in the Airport District, but did not know how long it would take <br />before anything could be built on that. <br />Chairman Scurlock noted that the problem there is the <br />methane, and he believed when we built the animal shelter, we had <br />some pretty heavy methane releases. <br />Commissioner Bowman asked about the advisability of paving <br />over the wellfields in the vicinity of the old landfill, and City <br />Manager Little assured her that they monitor the wells. <br />Chairman Scurlock asked when we will have another joint <br />meeting as he felt this was very informative. <br />Mayor Macht also expressed his enthusiasm and felt the next <br />meeting should be when we can have a similarly useful meeting. <br />He suggested that we adjourn sine die and try to schedule a <br />meeting at least on a quarterly basis. <br />23 <br />J 73 b 93 <br />� ��1� <br />
