Authorization to Initiate Purchase of Diesel Pickup for Landfill Manager - ACTION TAKEN - Romney Stewart distributed a memorandum explaining the advantages of a diesel engine. Stan Vincent pointed out that this is a diesel block engine and not a converted gasoline engine. Savings resulting from the lower operating and maintenance cost is expected to more than offset the additional purchase cost. The diesel engine is more suitable for landfill use because of dusty and dirt conditions. Presently, there is very little difference between the cost of gasoline and diesel fuel. Almon Nelson moved to approve authorization for the purchase, John Rosenthal seconded. The vote was unanimous. 5. Approval of City Engineering Costs for Landfill from July 1, 1981 to September 30, 1982. Romney Stewart asked that this item he deferred until the next meeting when Jim Talebreza and Don Spencer, both engineers, will be present to participate in the discussion. DISCUSSION ITEMS 1. Community Development Grant for Landfill End Use Romney Stewart mentioned that he and Salt Lake City and County planning officials recently met to further discuss and formulate a planning policy for waste disposal sites and end uses. Romney introduced Lane Nielson from Salt Lake City Planning and Lynn Feveryear from Salt Lake County Community Development, and asked each to discuss various work scope possibilities for a Community Development grant. Lane Nielson stated that Salt Lake City Planning has submitted a grant request for $25,000 to plan end use develop- ment of the landfill site. The money would become available in July of 1983 for the 1983-84 fiscal year. This money is for a planning study only and not for actual construction. Lane stated that the probability of the grant being approved is fairly good. Lynn Feveryear mentioned that the County work scope could be the same as what the City has submitted. He felt that City and County grants could jointly fund the project. In order to qualify for construction funding, the project must benefit a majority of the low income residents. Such money would be available for construction pur- poses only and not for any operation or maintenance costs. Romney Stewart was authorized to pursue the submittal of these grant requests with both City and County community development representatives. 2. Road Material Testing on Access Roads Stan Vincent mentioned that with the westward growth in the valley, a a problem is emerging with the maintenance of roads. Stan stated that he has been contacted by various officials and vendors inquiring into the use of landfill access roads as a place to test road materials. John Rosenthal suggested that Stan contact the materials testing department of ti page 3 the City for further assistance in the matter. The consensus of the Council was to encourage and authorize the testing of road materials at the landfill. 3. Resource Recovery Update - Davis County - Biomass International Romney Stewart mentioned that he had recently attended meetings in Davis County on their resource recovery project. In 1985 when the resource re- covery facility opens, the projected contract cost will be $8.00 a ton. This will increase to $14.00 a ton six years later. They are now final- izing the selecton of the site and have chosen EMCON to design their land- fills. Katy Seagers is the contractor chosen for the resource recovery facility. Romney mentioned that some Davis County communities may not want to use the resource recovery facility and could approach the Council about the possibility of using the City-County Landfill. Romney then mentioned that the final Phase II report was due to he completed in 30 days. Romney mentioned that Biomass International has invited the Landfill Council to visit their facility. They are working on a process to convert refuse into ethanol as another alternative to mass inceneration for the generation of electicity. The Council agreed to plan a visit to the facility in Feb- ruary. The next meeting date was set for February 18, 1983. The Council will travel to the Biomass International facility in Ogden. The Council meeting will he held immediately afterwards. Meeting adjourned at 11:20 a.m.
