Several residents used the meeting’s public-comment period to press county officials for better responses to ongoing mud and litter coming from the landfill. "It's been an absolute nightmare today…As slick as that stuff is, you could barely stop on it," said Speaker 4, describing a moment when her truck began sliding at about 20 mph.

Speaker 4 said she and other residents have forwarded pictures of the road and received "no reply" from most county recipients; she said Tony Akins acknowledged the photos but others did not, leaving her "talking to a blank wall." Speaker 1 (unidentified official) told residents that complaints are supposed to be routed to Republic for documentation and tracking and that residents can be copied on those reports so commissioners are aware.

Commissioners and staff urged residents to continue submitting complaints to Republic while the county pursues on-site fixes. Speaker 3 suggested publicizing the conditions via news and social media so the public is aware of ongoing problems; Speaker 1 reiterated the internal complaints process but said staff will pursue immediate remediation steps at the landfill.

The exchange did not produce any formal action at the meeting; staff said they would pursue removal of dirt from the entrance, additional rock and sweeping, and report back with progress at the January meeting.
