JUN 61989 <br />BOOK7FAGF1&E <br />Commissioner Bird felt that as far as the cost is concerned, <br />we might be looking only at the tip of the iceberg here in <br />getting this problem resolved. <br />Administrator Chandler suggested that perhaps the Board <br />would like to defer this for one week because he was not aware of <br />the original $35,000 payment to Buford Goff and how that fits <br />into the $46,000. <br />ON MOTION by Commissioner Eggert, SECONDED by <br />Commissioner Bird, the Board unanimously tabled <br />this item for one week. <br />ESTABLISHING POLICY ON USED TIRES <br />The Board reviewed the following memo dated 5/25/89: <br />DATE: MAY 25, 1989 <br />TO: HONORABLE BOARD OF COUNTY COMMISSIONERS <br />THRU: JAMES E. CHANDLER <br />COUNTY ADMINISTRATOR <br />FROM: H.T. "SONNY" DEAN, DIRECTOR <br />DEPARTMENT OF GENERAL SERVI <br />SUBJECT: USED TIRES <br />»ACKGROUND: <br />It is the present policy to replace truck tires on County owned vehicles <br />at a point when they can no longer be repaired or become unsafe on the <br />vehicle. These tires are then stock piled until transfer to the County <br />Landfill, for disposition. <br />Due to a change in the State Law these tires can no longer be disposed <br />of, in the landfill. They must first be shredded and then can be <br />applied as cover material, road beds, etc. The cost to shred tires <br />ranges anywhere from $40 - $60 per ton. <br />ANALYSIS: <br />Recently, a tire recapping- vendor contacted the County and made a <br />request to purchase all our used tires that could be recapped for a <br />price of $15 each. This writer is not aware of any prior offer, such as <br />this, from a tire dealer. The revenues received from the sale of these <br />tires can go to off -set the price of disposal. The vendor that has made this <br />request is:Bandag Retreads, Inc. <br />RECOMMENDATIONS: <br />It is recommended that the Board authorize staff to offer all our tires <br />that have no useable value to the County, for sale to the recapping <br />vendor. Monies received from the sale of these tires will be credited <br />to the applicable account. <br />54 <br />
