BUSINESS ITEMS:
1. Approval of Minutes
A correction was made under Business Item 3-3 changing the company name
Black and Beach to Black and Veatch. Norm Jones moved that the minutes be
approved as written after the correction was made. Lee Ritzman seconded
the motion and the voting was unanimous.
DISCUSSION ITEMS:
1. Monthly Landfill Meeting with Major Users
By way of information, John informed the Council that he has organized a
monthly meeting with all of the major landfill users and the landfill
management. The purpose of this meeting is to increase the efficiency of
the landfill operations by allowing the most frequent customers to discuss
the landfill conditions and problems with those who run the operation.
The meeting will be scheduled for the first Wednesday of each month at
10:00 A. M. and is held at the landfill.
2. Traffic Problem (Intersection of 5600 West and 1300 South)
John invited Tosh Kano from Salt Lake County Traffic Engineering and Norm
Barnett from Salt Lake City Traffic Engineering to represent their
respective traffic divisions. Tosh presented the traffic volume, speed
and delay studies which were conducted during the week of October 22nd.
This report also included an accident history. The conclusion of this
' report warrants a traffic signal because the volume and speed of the
traffic creates long delays and severe accidents.
Norm Barnett explained that it would be necessary to change some of the
physical surroundings of the intersection with such improvements as a
larger turning radii, acceleration and deceleration lanes and also to
lengthen the left turn lane turning west off of the 5600 West storage
pocket. These physical improvements along with the signal should increase
the efficiency and safety of the traffic flow through this intersection.
It was recommended that the sooner these improvements could be made the
better would be the results. Since the City has the materials necessary
in stock for the signal and the County did not, Norm said the City would
be willing to porvide supplies and the County could install them. This
would be a joint effort and would require an agreement to be drawn up,
which Tosh volunteered to do. The signal should be in within 30-45 days,
but the physical improvement would come later. There are still some loose
ends on the right-of-away of these physical improvements and they will
need to be pursued i. e. , any necessary land purchases.
3. Tire Disposal
John invited Dale Johnson, from Big 0 Tires, to present an alternative to
the tire problem at the landfill. Dale explained that they have been
involved in some extensive research for the purpose of setting up their
plant located at 500 South and 2200 West. The plant is set up to chop the
tires and sell them for energy. Kennecott is excited about the operation
and has requested 180 tons of the product for a test run.
John felt it could be a very good operation, one separate from the
landfill, where customers could be sent or possibly allow Big-0 Tire to
park a truck at the landfill for private users. Because the cost has not
yet been finalized it was determined to wait and see if the cost would be
reasonable.
6. E. T. Proposal
Mike O'Hara from E. T. Technologies explained their proposal. It consisted
of two areas. First, that there would be another class of waste, a class
in which would be strictly for municipal waste water sludges. This would
include a new tipping fee for this class. Changing from $7. 00/ton
(current) to $5. 00-$6. 00/ton. The justification would be the high volume
of material and the possible longivity of such a contract. This could
allow for cost to be amortized over a longer period.
There was a small discussion with Bennett's Disposal on whether some of
their customers could enjoy this classification. Mike explained that if
\o.:1,....jhey met the specifications of this new class they would be welcome.
Lee Ritzman moved that the minutes be passed on to the City Council and
County Commissioners for ratification. Larry Meyer seconded the motion
and the voting was unaninous.
John then explained that there were a few operational modifications to be
made in E. T. Technologie's original plan. He explained that it was
necessary to review and outline these modifications, submit the modified
plan to the respective City and County Councils for approval, and upon
approval a copy of the ratified minutes attached to the original document.
Mike took a few minutes to review the three modifications. (1) change the
handling of large amounts of municipal waste, (2) chemical parameters, (3)
operational changes in rates of sumps and analytical tests.
Norm Jones moved and Almon Nelson seconded that the minutes be passed on
for ratification of these operational modifications. The voting was
unanimous.
4 West Valley Cover Material
As a matter of information the landfill is receiving some cover material
from the area of 4000 West 700 South where there is some widening of the
road being done and some of it is due to the surcharge from some
overpasses. There is no charge as long as the trucks bringing the
material can enter the landfill with care and also not be charged. They
started this week and are entering on the south end of the landfill.
5. Concrete Dumping Fees
Dan Bauer has checked around to see what the going rate for concrete is.
Trans-Jordan charges $5. 00/ton, Mackay charges $15. 00/load with the
restriction of no pieces over 2 feet square. It was determined to stay
with the current fees at the landfill of 1 ft square pieces at $L 00/ton,
and pieces larger than that are charged $4. 00/ton. If there is any
question as to whether there are larger pi€c€s on a load, the fee is
$4. 00/ton.
7. Free Dumping
For better public relations Dan felt it would be better to have the free
dumping period to be simple and consistant. Therefore, he thought it
would be best to have the free dumping period during April and October the
same as Trans-Jordan and be closed Sundays. It was suggested that there
be a tabulation of how many customers used the landfill during the four
Sundays in April and upon receiving the count decide if it is cost
effective to open on Sundays.
8. Next Meeting
The next meeting is to be held January 25, 1985 in the County Commission
Board Room at 10:00 A.M.
