Commission approves up to $20,000 for transfer station Task One surveys
Summary
Carlton County approved up to $20,000 to fund Task One of a Transfer Station Planning and Feasibility Study, which directs Burns & McDonnell to survey and interview people who work at and use the transfer station.
The Committee of the Whole approved funding not to exceed $20,000 to complete Task One of a Transfer Station Planning and Feasibility Study presented by Heather Kraul of Burns & McDonnell.
Kraul described Task One as outreach and surveying of individuals who work at and use the county transfer station; the work is intended to build a baseline of user needs and operational constraints ahead of later design and feasibility steps. The committee adopted the motion (mover: Bodie; second: Proulx) to authorize the expenditure.
The request was framed as an early-stage engagement to gather user and staff input rather than to commit to a particular design. The approval requires Burns & McDonnell to limit Task One spending to the $20,000 cap unless the committee returns with a separate authorization for additional work. Next procedural steps noted in the meeting record include continued study and stakeholder engagement overseen by county staff.
