County discusses Solid Waste site cleanup, contractor communication and part‑time staffing
Summary
Solid Waste staff and commissioners reviewed progress on a dump cleanup, reported improved contractor responsiveness, discussed a possible 10‑hour monthly temporary cleanup allocation and accepted a part‑time job application for solid waste support.
County solid waste staff told commissioners they have monitored recent cleanup work at a county transfer site and said contractor responsiveness has improved after recent complaints about missed pickups.
Solid Waste operator John (last name not provided) said crews and contractor drivers responded after the county contacted the contractor; staff reported new photographic evidence documenting clearing work and said they will email site photos and schedules to county staff and the contractor to ensure pickups occur.
Commissioners discussed budgeting for a limited "cap" of up to 10 hours a month for on‑site assistance during busy periods to keep the site maintained; they described a cap as an option that would avoid guaranteed ongoing overtime. Commissioners asked solid waste staff to develop a budget line and return with a recommendation.
The board accepted a part‑time solid waste applicant and instructed staff to notify the candidate; commissioners also discussed recycling collection improvements and training requirements for solid waste attendants. No formal changes to rates or contracts were approved at the meeting.
