Commissioners approve consent agenda item including Midshore landfill hauler agreement; staff to verify site references
Summary
During the Feb. 4 meeting the board approved a hauler agreement involving the Midshore regional landfill as part of the consent agenda but asked staff to confirm whether the draft correctly referenced Midshore 1 or Midshore 2 and to verify listed delivery routes.
During the consent agenda on Feb. 4 commissioners considered a hauler agreement related to the Midshore regional landfill. Staff told the board the agreement showed language and appendices that referenced both Midshore 1 (in Easton) and Midshore 2 (Ridgely), and the listed delivery routes included state roads that do not directly serve Caroline County.
The county attorney reviewed the draft agreement and found no unusual legal obligations, but staff asked for confirmation whether the agreement should be specific to Midshore 2 given the county’s hauling patterns. Commissioners asked staff to confirm the facility designation and any site‑specific terms; staff said they would follow up with the county attorney and with the landfill operator.
The consent agenda motion to approve passed by voice vote; those present voted "aye" (three ayes recorded on the transcript). The board agreed to verify the facility references and return the matter to the record if corrections were necessary.
Ending: Staff will verify whether the agreement should reference Midshore 2 or Midshore 1 and correct the site references if needed; the consent agenda approval was recorded as passed by voice vote.
