The Del Norte Solid Waste Management Authority unanimously approved a resolution honoring Michael Tompkins for his service as a public member and commissioner from Dec. 17, 2019 through 2025.

The director read the resolution, which credited Tompkins with participation in actions that extended transfer station operations agreements, secured additional landfill capacity at Dry Creek, helped reduce WDR fees at the Crescent City Landfill (staff cited an annual savings figure in the text of $32,446), and contributed to updates of memoranda of understanding, job descriptions and pay ranges for authority employees.

Tompkins addressed the board and said it had been an honor to serve. Board members said they would provide him with a signed copy of the resolution.

A motion to pass the resolution was offered and the recorded votes were affirmative for the commissioners called, with the board requesting the signed resolution be delivered to Tompkins.
