Summary

Recycling coordinator Marlene Wood presented a program update and the board adopted new Solid Waste Advisory Committee rules reducing members from 10 to 7 and setting two‑year terms.

Marlene Wood, Benzie County Recycling Coordinator, presented a PowerPoint overview of the county recycling program during the Feb. 18 meeting. Her presentation described current program operations and recent cleanup work connected to the Honor Land Bank site.

Following the presentation the board voted to adopt amended Solid Waste Advisory Committee Rules of Procedure that reduce membership from 10 to 7 and establish two‑year terms for committee members. The motion passed by unanimous roll call. Sheriff Schendel thanked Marlene for her work, and a resident, Shelley Thompson, told the board Marlene had been the driving force behind cleanup at the former Honor Land Bank site.

The meeting record does not include the full text of the PowerPoint or an implementation timeline for changes to the advisory committee’s membership; the rules adoption authorizes the county to proceed under the new committee composition and term structure.
