Committee adopts Columbia County waste-reduction policy and authorizes hiring and equipment auction
Summary
Finance Committee adopted a county waste reduction and recycling policy, authorized filling a solid waste position after an unexpected employee death, and approved auctioning roll-off containers.
The Columbia County Finance Committee adopted the county’s waste reduction and recycling policy and authorized hiring and equipment disposition actions during the July 6 meeting.
By voice vote the committee approved a resolution to adopt the Columbia County waste reduction and recycling policy. The committee also authorized filling one solid waste position following an employee’s unexpected passing and approved selling eight 20-yard roll-off containers at auction.
Committee members moved and seconded the measures as consent items; votes were recorded as carried without roll-call tallies in the meeting transcript. The hiring authorization was described as filling one MEO-1 position (or equivalent) to replace the deceased employee; the auction authorization was described in the meeting as sale of “8 20 yard low off” units (transcript wording). Specific salary details for the replacement position were not provided in the committee discussion.
County solid waste management staff will proceed under the committee’s authorization to hire and to schedule the auction. The committee did not specify auction timing, reserve prices, or the budgetary impact in the recorded discussion.
