Commissioner Adams commented that the SWDD has just about farmed out all
our reports to consultants, primarily to CDM. CDM is doing a good job and they are a
great company, but the perception is that CDM owns us. There is, however, no
opportunity for checks and balances or new ideas.
Director Hubbs responded that CDM has a reasonably good track record and they
are the engineer of record. An unusual step was taken recently by creating and staffing
an Environmental Engineer position. A candidate has been successfully recruited and
will start in mid-March. An asterisk with a footnote has been inserted at the bottom of
each Attachment "C" (five of them) that SWDD reserves the right to substitute SWDD
staff to reduce the total number of hours billed to SWDD. Therefore, a check and
balance will be provided as well as a potential to reduce the cost of these authorizations.
It is difficult to know for certain now what those activities might be. It will depend on
time frames, suitability of the individual, and the task.
