operation of another landfill other than 'the site that we have; <br />that there will be enough room there to last for .the next 150 <br />years. <br />Commissioner Bird appreciated Mr. Legwen's comments and his <br />request for a workshop, but felt the solid waste program is an <br />extremely complicated and diverse business and that the County is <br />on the right track. He understood it will never be perfect but <br />felt with the present appeal process and our engineers and staff, <br />we are constantly looking at better ways of handling it, reducing <br />the cost and improving the environment. He believed we ought to <br />keep going the way we are with this year's appeals at Solid Waste <br />District hearings. He felt as long as we keep making improvements, <br />that is what the customers of the system expect. <br />Chairman Macht felt that further efforts at source reduction <br />should be made. <br />Commissioner Tippin expressed his opinion that the promise of <br />the landfill system was absolutely phenomenal but that the system <br />is now on the verge of bankrupting local governments and taxpayers. <br />He felt that it is a serious problem we should be very concerned <br />about but that we have come a long way and should brag about that. <br />He believed we have thrown common sense out the win4ow-in the guise <br />of what is popular and now what is popular is recycling which he <br />feels has been an overblown fraud and expense on the taxpayer. <br />There being no further business, on Motion duly made, seconded <br />and carried, the Board adjourned at 10:30 a.m. <br />ATTEST: <br />J.
