Rawlins County commissioners refuse school demolition debris over asbestos testing limits; approve elevator upgrade and landfill payments
Summary
The Rawlins County Board of Commissioners voted June 14 to refuse construction waste from a school demolition because the landfill cannot verify asbestos-free material. The board also approved an $8,898 KONE elevator upgrade to address Fire Marshal deficiencies and several Miller & Associates landfill invoices and certifications.
The Rawlins County Board of Commissioners voted June 14 to refuse construction waste from a local school demolition after county staff said the landfill lacks a way to test debris to verify it is asbestos-free. Commissioner Alan A. Solko moved to refuse the material on that ground and Commissioner Mark Mosley seconded; the motion carried.
The decision came during discussion led by Department Head Corey Castens, who raised the tear-down and the testing limitation. County officials said they could not accept construction waste when asbestos testing could not be confirmed; the transcript records that the landfill has no method to verify the material is free of asbestos.
At the same meeting the board approved routine facilities and landfill-related work. Commissioner Solko moved and Commissioner Mosley seconded approval of a KONE quote for elevator upgrades in the amount of $8,898 to comply with deficiencies noted by the Fire Marshal; the motion carried. The transcript states that the cost will be paid from the County Building Fund.
The board also approved Miller & Associates Invoice No. 24 0601 for Landfill Task 2A Construction Phase in the amount of $7,642.20 and approved and signed a Miller & Associates Application and Certification for Landfill Cell 5 & 6 closure and Cell 7 development Payment No. 3; Payment No. 2 (approved at the May 15 meeting) was signed by the present commissioners. Commissioner Mark Mosley moved to approve the $7,642.20 invoice; Commissioner Solko seconded and the motion carried.
Separately, the board approved a pre-paid warrant/invoice tied to a Public Health Department grant. Deputy County Clerk Renee Sagel asked a vendor identified in the transcript only by the surname 'Heble' to provide a W-9; the transcript records Heble agreed to do so.
All motions listed in the transcript were approved with the notation "motion carried," but specific vote counts or recorded individual votes were not provided in the minutes. The board adjourned at 9:33 a.m.
Next steps: the transcript does not record any appeal or reversal of the landfill refusal; procurement and payment actions were recorded as approved and signed.
