Attendees: -Brad Stewart -Salt Lake City Public Works -William Davis -Salt Lake City/County Health -Glenn Weaver -West Valley City Public Works -John Hiskev -Salt Lake County Public Works -Norman Jones -Utah State University Others in Attendance: -Daniel L. Bauer -Solid Waste Disposal -Romney M. Stewart -Salt Lake County Public Works -M.K. Muir -Salt Lake City/County Health -Mary Pat Boch -Bureau of Solid & Hazardous Waste -Sam Nipper -Recycler Waste -Jeanne Babin -BFI -Paul Maughan -Salt Lake County Attorney -Brvnn Howell -Solid Waste Disposal BUSINESS ITEMS 1. Agproval of Minutes (October 30, 1987) Brad Stewart had some recommended changes , on page two in the second paragraph concerning the approval of the 1988 budget. Brad wanted to add a clarification stating that Salt Lake City would like further clarification of the budget, therefore, he requested the following schedules be added as part of the 1988 budget document: a resources and uses statement, a balance statement, and a fund balance status. Brad also suggested they amend the RFP schedule to show some possible time savings. The Council felt that since this was just a projected schedule there was no reason to amend it for each change. Romney Stewart moved that the minutes be approved as amended, Bill Davis seconded the motion which passed unanimously. John Hiskev entered the meeting. 2. Amendment of Interlocal Agreement with Wildlife Resources Romney Stewart and Daniel Bauer distributed some packets containing maps showing additional parcels of land that are being made available for landfilling purposes. Wildlife Resources gave their approval in 1983 for an additional seventy-one acre parcel in return for .building the shooting berms and they are presently reviewing a request for another twenty-four acre parcel, to be provided at NO COST to the landfill. • • 2. Amendment of Interlocal Agreement with Wildlife Resources Cont. The obtaining of this additional acreage for landfill use is a result of the continuing spirit of cooperation between Landfill Management and Wildlife Resources as well as the past and present performance of the Landfill Operation. The Interlocal agreement needs to be amended with language adding these parcels to the landfill master plan and also stating that the completed landfill modules and surrounding area will be used for upland bird habitat. Norm Jones moved . that the necessary amendments to the original agreement be made. Glenn Weaver seconded the motion, which passed unanimously. DISCUSSION AND INFORMATIONAL ITEMS 1. Designation of Cash Reserves The Council members discussed possibilities for modifying the labels that are presently assigned to the designated cash reserve. Some of the areas suggested were; Pre development, site selection, land purchase and post closure. Brad Stewart felt that at this point it would be best to decide upon areas and not dollar amounts. Romney Stewart suggested that the Council review the present amount of cash that is in the reserve accounts ,both designated and un-designated, because the purpose of the designated amounts was for items that are now included in the daily operations, and because there was a major draw on the reserves in 1986 and 1987 due to construction and capital improvements. The total amount of both accounts, at the end of 1987, is 1.1 million. Based upon our present fee structure, it is expected to increase to 1.3 million at the end of 1988. Daniel suggested that outside professionals, such as G.R.C.D.A. , be contacted for suggestions as to what specific categories and dollar amounts they would recommend be placed in the reserve account. Bill Davis mentioned that the Council may want to consider funding a Household Hazardous Waste program from the reserve account. Daniel Bauer suggested that the list of items , which had been distributed to the council at a previous meeting, be considered as a start point for the reserve account categories. Daniel Bauer presented to the Council members a memo from Evan Stephens. The memo made reserve account recommendations, from an insurance liability aspect as well as listing the insurance coverage that the landfill presently has in force. 2. Other Items Daniel presented the September 1987 and October 1987 revenue reports and the current 1987 Budget expenditures. 3.

GRCDA - Denver Dan Bauer explained that the County Commissioners have given their approval for six (6) Board members to go to the GRCDA Convention in Denver. Each of these Board members will be receiving two checks, one for registration and the other for accomodations. Dan will be distributing these checks to the proper Board members. • • 2. Acceptance of Waste Originating Outside Salt Lake County A discussion was opened with Mark Palesh, City Manager, Centerville, and Board members.. Mr. Palesh explained their position of being a part of the burn plant which includes a 50 year contract and current tipping fees of no less than $17.00/ton. Centerville and other municipalities have inquired of the availablity of bringing refuse to the City/County landfill. The Board members felt at this time they wouldn't turn people away. They also felt like they wanted to take a neutral position when it came to the burn plant. The question of whether a written agreement would be necessary was unanswered. Romney asked Paul Mangham for a legal \� opinion as to whether we could allow or disallow other Counties to dump at the City/County landfill.. 3. Other Items Romney asked Kurt Nelson for an opinion in the justification pertaining to allowing other counties to dump at the City/County landfill. 4.
