DISCUSSION ITEMS:
1. Report on Performance Regulations for Landfill.
John Rosenthal and Stan Vincent held a meeting with Dale Parker, Dennis Downs,
and Bill Davis on the above matter. Bill Davis reported that the City/County
and State regulations were reviewed at this meeting. Bill felt that there was
enough flexibility in the City/County regulation to approve whatever frequency
of variation of cover that is found appropriate and therefore no need to change
the current regulation. The permit that has been issued to the County Land-
fill by the City/County Health Department, states a cover frequency at the end
of each working day. An amendment may be necessary if there is a change. It
was suggested that this be considered at the end of the year at renewal time.
A request or letter should be submitted by John for such changes.
The State regulations are a little tighter in the wording and options can be
addressed. Dennis Downs commented that the State supports the concept. He
stated that the State regulations required that fresh refuse should not be
uncovered for more than 24 hours. The conclusion was that John Rosenthal
should present a proposal to both the City/County and State Health Department
and then upon approval there would be a 6 month trial period.
2. Review Liability Insurance
John passed out copies of the Interlocal Agreement paragraphs #16 & 17 and a
letter from the County Attorney's Office regarding adequate liability and pro-
perty loss coverage for the City/County Landfill. The information indicates
that there is no coverage at all. We are still waiting for a final opinion
from Bill Hyde. In the meantime, John has met with an insurance agency to get
some ball park figures. A $5 million dollar policy was inquired about with
$14,096 a year for premium without a deduction and $9,000 a year for premium
with a $200,000 deductible. The premium would graduate down with an increase
of the deductible. John needs to know what kind of policy is needed in order
that the amount of retained earnings applicable for insurance purposes could be
set aside for the deduct: i1e. John will follow up :o gathering the necessary
information for a final decision.
3. Update on E.T.
John met with Kevan Smith, Stan Vincent, a representative from the Health De-
partment and the E.T. Group to work out some of the legal and health concerns.
It was decided that the Health Departments needed more time to review the
rough draft. It was proposed that the Health Departments meet with the attorneys
but the Health Department did not see a need for this as their concerns deal
primarily with the operational procedures and not the legalities. John summar-
ized by explaining that he would meet with the Health Departments and the E.T.
Group within a week. The attorneys should have the draft finished in 2 weeks.
Jim Butler explained that the Interlocal Agreement has not changed. Jim also
explained that the Operational Agreement would be attached to the Legal Agree-
ment for conveniences and if changes come about in the Operational Agreement
there wouldn't be a need for another agreement to be drawn up.

4. Update on Wasatch Front .
John spoke with Mick Crandall who reported no real change. The contract for
the steam from Hill Air Force Base is still at Wright Pattern Air Base for
review. The problem concerning the scrubbers is the same. Mick said the
Council had sent their arguments in a couple of weeks ago with no reply yet.
5. EMCON Contract - Update
John reported that the contract has been sent to Amy Jackson for signatures.
The meeting adjourned at 11:00 A. M. The next meeting date and time will be de-
cided by John and notifications will be sent out.
