Commissioner Bowman commented that a warning flag always goes up whenever anything about hazardous materials comes up. She felt this is a really thorny subject and she would like to go over the contract because there are a lot of things she would like to have verified before she would approve it. She, therefore, would like to table this item for a week, and Commissioner Eggert agreed. MOTION WAS MADE by Commissioner Bowman, SECONDED by Commissioner Eggert, to table action on awarding the bid for Hazardous Waste Disposal for one week. Acting Administrator Collins believed this contract is a requirement under state law. He explained that the Landfill is required to open up for the collection of hazardous materials twice a year, and we have to have a contract with someone to pick up this material and take it away to be disposed of properly. He felt the problem with the delay could be that we have some statutory deadlines. "Sonny" Dean, Manager of Solid Waste, informed the Board that last year about this time we entered into a contract with the DER to receive a grant of $50,000 to build a hazardous waste collection station hazardous materials at our Landfill.
