Skip Davis, Winter Beach, voiced objections to the closure of <br /> the Winter Beach CCC, and echoed concerns about illegal <br /> dumping. <br /> Director Burke responded to Commissioner Zore's questions <br /> about recycling volumes at the various CCC's. <br /> Commissioner Zorc discussed the importance of achieving the <br /> State mandated 75% recycling goal. <br /> Vice Chairman Solari felt that closing the Winter Beach CCC <br /> was one of several steps that would be needed for the County to <br /> demonstrate a good-faith effort to meet the State's 75% <br /> recycling goal. <br /> Commissioner Flescher felt that the cost to keep open the <br /> Winter Beach CCC would be justified by making the CCC's <br /> more efficient, and by enhanced public education on recycling. <br /> A brief discussion ensued about the option of curbside garbage <br /> service; it was noted that recycling pickup is offered to all <br /> residents at no charge. <br /> Rosemarie Wilson, 1490 5th Avenue, stressed the need for the <br /> public to be better educated about recycling. <br /> Patricia Hunt discussed the success of the recycling programs in <br /> Vermont and four other states, and felt that public education is <br /> a key component of a successful program. <br /> MOTION WAS MADE by Commissioner Flescher, <br /> SECONDED by Commissioner Zorc, to direct staff to report <br /> back, and to invite public input, on the Winter Beach CCC at <br /> the County Commission meeting of December 16, 2014. <br /> County Administrator Joe Baird advised that this item would <br /> be placed on the Solid Waste Disposal District portion of the <br /> agenda. <br /> Commissioner O'Bryan acknowledged that closing the Winter <br /> Beach CCC may impact some residents, but noted the <br /> importance of moving towards the long-range plan. <br /> The Chairman CALLED THE QUESTION, and the Motion <br /> carried unanimously. <br /> Board of County Commission Meeting Page 9 <br /> December 2,2014 <br />
