Commissioners award two‑year lease on county landfill to local applicant, require site walkthrough
Summary
The board voted to award a two-year lease of county landfill property to Brett Worland, subject to a pre-possession on-site review with county staff to confirm conditions and specifications.
The commissioners voted to award a two-year lease on a portion of the county landfill to applicant Brett Worland. The award was conditioned on an on-site review with county staff (John Reeves was named as the county contact) so the lessee could inspect the landfill, review specifications (rip rap areas, drainage, access and gate maintenance) and confirm the responsibilities described in the lease.
Commissioners instructed county staff to arrange a walkthrough with the lessee, to provide the lessee with the site specifications and to return to the board if post-inspection issues require amendment. The board said it would proceed with execution of the lease following the walkthrough.
Why it matters: Leasing county landfill property has operational and liability implications (site maintenance, access, rip-rap and fuel/storage uses). Commissioners emphasized the importance of lessee familiarity with site conditions and environmental/safety constraints.
Meeting direction: Award lease to Mr. Worland; county staff (John Reeves and other highway/landfill staff) to schedule a site visit, confirm the lease terms and report back if modifications are required before final execution.
