Board of County Commissioners Meeting Minutes - Final August 17, 2021 <br />Attachments: Staff Report <br />Proposal from Kessler Consulting Inc. <br />Himanshu Mehta, Solid Waste Disposal District Managing Director, described <br />the study which planned to analyze waste generation patterns for commercial <br />sectors. He noted that the study had been delayed due to the disruption in <br />regular patterns caused by Covid, but was now set to resume by adding scales <br />to the trucks to gather information regarding how much waste was being <br />generated from different commercial sectors. He estimated returning before <br />the Board in April of 2022 with results of the study. <br />Vice Chairman O'Bryan inquired whether it would be possible to spot-check the <br />commercial garbage to analyze how much material was recyclable, and use that <br />information to incentivize higher recycling rates. Director Mehta noted that <br />such analysis was beyond the scope of the study. He suggested partnering with <br />Waste Management to do a field audit of businesses to ensure they were <br />maximizing the amount of materials that could be recycled. <br />[Clerk's note: Commissioner Adams returned to the meeting at 4:36p.m.] <br />A motion was made by Vice Chairman O'Bryan, seconded by Commissioner <br />Earman, to approve staff's recommendation.
