Jones seconded the motion. Motion passed unanimously.
2. Superior Disposal Co.
Bob Williams presented some handouts , to the Board Members ,
summarizing the order of events related to the claim made by
Superior Disposal Co. This issue was continued from last months
meeting, pending a meeting between the Borens of Superior and Paul
Maughn of the County Attorney's office.
In a letter to the Landfill Council, Paul Maughn referred to the
Governmental Immunity Statute. This statute states that a claim
must be formally presented before the governing body, which in
this instance is the County Commissioners , and that a claim cannot
exceed a one year period of time. It is his recommendation that
the claim be satisfied from April 18, 1986, when it was received
by the County Commission Office, with a one year retrospect to
April of 1985.

The total amount of the claim, during the payable time period, is
$1 ,574.50. Some interest has been billed to Superior on those
outstanding amounts , the exact amount of this interest had not
been calculated at this point.
Norm Jones moved that the recommendation be supported and that
Superior be paid the $1,574.50 plus the accrued interest on that
amount. This motion was seconded by Bill Davis and passed
unanimously.
DISCUSSION ITEMS
1. E.P.A. Regulations
Steve Smith, of E.T. Technologies , gave a presentation at the
October 31, 1986 Council meeting, concerning new E.P.A.
regulations . Some questions arose regarding these new regulations
and the effect they would have on current procedures .
In an effort to clarify some of those questions , Craig Tribley,
also of E.T. Technologies , stated that at the time of Steve's
presentation, they were expecting several new regulations to
become effective on November 8, 1986. Since those regulations did
not go into effect, there is no need at the present time, to
change any current operation procedures .
2. Recycled Paper Proposal
Dan Bauer received a proposal from Recycler Waste Co. which he
presented to the Council. Recycler Waste proposed setting up a
site, similar to that of E.T. Technologies , where they could
salvage cardboard and paper products that were being disposed of
at the landfill. This would include selecting certain packers and
unloading them at the recovery site, after the trucks had been
weighed on the landfill scales . At this point Recycler Waste
would manually go through the load and separate the paper.
products . When they were finished with a load the recyclable
paper material would be bundled and prepared for shipment. The
remainder of the solid waste material would be placed in open top
containers until the end of the day. At that time the containers
would be transported to the tipping face and unloaded.
Several questions were raised by members of the Council concerning
this operation. A suggestion was made that the Landfill Council
visit the site that is currently in operation. The members agreed
and will be visiting the site in the near future to get a better
idea of it's operational procedures .
. 3. Third Quarter Report
Dan handed out copies of the Landfill Third Quarter report to all
of the Board members . The Council Members were asked to review
them and then present any comments or questions at the next
meeting.
