During a recent government meeting, discussions centered on the progress of a solid waste management plan and the future of landfill operations. Committee members expressed a mix of urgency and caution regarding the adoption of the plan, emphasizing the need for clarity on several outstanding questions related to landfill management.

One member highlighted the importance of moving forward with the plan despite unresolved issues, suggesting that it should be treated as a \"living document\" that can be adjusted as necessary. Another member voiced frustration over the perceived reluctance of the committee to take decisive action, noting the extensive efforts made by staff to prepare the plan for consideration.

The committee is currently awaiting a comprehensive analysis from the county's head consultant, Devin Moose, who reported that they are approximately 70% complete with studies related to landfill expansion and potential new sites. A draft of these findings is expected within two weeks, and the committee plans to discuss the results in an upcoming executive session.

Members expressed a desire for a clearer timeline regarding the presentation of potential landfill sites, indicating that this information could help alleviate concerns and facilitate progress on the solid waste plan. The meeting concluded with a commitment to reconvene next month, where further discussions and decisions are anticipated.
