Solid Waste reports compliance, proposes $1,304.50 camera system and staffing changes
Summary
Solid Waste director David Waddell reported the burn pile is compliant, presented a $1,304.50 proposal for a motion-activated camera system from Hugh's Tel Com, recommended recycling cardboard, and discussed potentially replacing one full-time position with two part-time positions and acquiring a surplus vehicle.
David Waddell of Solid Waste told the Woodson County commissioners on May 19 that the county burn pile remains in compliance and presented several operational proposals.
Waddell presented a $1,304.50 proposal from Hugh's Tel Com for a motion-activated camera system intended to replace two failing cameras. He recommended recycling cardboard rather than hauling it in the compactor to reduce costs and discussed the possibility of replacing one full-time position with two part-time positions to meet operational needs. Waddell also raised the prospect of obtaining a vehicle from the Sheriff’s Office that is planned for sale.
Meeting participant Jacob Morrison expressed concern that transferring the vehicle could reduce proceeds intended to offset the cost of newly purchased vehicles. The minutes show discussion and concern but do not record a formal motion to purchase the camera system or to change staffing; those items are recorded as proposals and under consideration.
The commissioners did not record a vote on the camera proposal or staffing changes in the public minutes; staff were left to follow up on proposals and return with more information as needed.
