Rawlins County landfill operator asks for tree-disposal limits and waiver; county hears insurance reserves report and tables Decorum Resolution

Landfill operator Corey Castens presented the Board of Commissioners with photos showing large trees recently dumped at the Rawlins County landfill and said he charged the contractor who dumped them despite an existing county resolution that currently states there is no charge for trees. Castens asked that the resolution be revised to require trees be cut into "reasonable pieces," suggesting four- or six-foot lengths. Commissioners suggested sending a letter to the contractor asking them to cut trees into smaller sections and asked County Attorney Christopher A. Rohr to prepare amended language for the resolution to be discussed at the next meeting.
