Landfill to resume Saturday service and launch new point-of-sale system Feb. 2, staff says
Summary
Operations staff reported limited Saturday service is being phased in and will be publicly announced; the landfill’s new Paradigm point-of-sale database is scheduled to go live Feb. 2 after testing. Staff also said they will coordinate on punch-card settings separately with the chair.
Operations staff told the board they have begun light Saturday operations and plan to announce Saturday hours publicly once staff are comfortable with the workflow, and that regulators at the New Mexico Environment Department (NMED) were notified and indicated they were "okay" with the change.
"We started our first Saturday...I didn't advertise it. I did let know that we were gonna do that," Reynold Vasquez said; he added staff will announce regular Saturday openings the week of Jan. 26.
Vasquez also reported routine operations updates: hauling dirt to cover exposed waste for the new lift, leachate pumping from pumps 1 and 3, cleanup around bins and scale approach road repairs, and completion of warranty repairs on a new scraper.
Separately, Tim Connor said the landfill’s new custom Paradigm point-of-sale database is scheduled to go live Feb. 2 and staff will run robust testing with dummy transactions in the coming week. "The point of sale database that Paradigm Software is producing for us is scheduled to go live February 2," Connor said; he added staff will discuss punch-card minimum transactions with the chair outside the meeting.
On procurement and recycling, Mark Flores said the posted recycling RFP needs minor revision to remove composting language; procurement staff will revise and repost the solicitation and circulate it to board members before publication.
Next steps: staff will publicly announce Saturday hours after internal testing, complete Paradigm testing and implement the system on Feb. 2, and circulate a revised recycling RFP to board members before reposting.
