Recycling center may close Saturdays due to staffing shortages, county told
Summary
Environmental Services Superintendent Darlene Selley asked the board to close the recycling center on Saturdays to allow staff to work 40‑hour schedules and to reduce facility costs; she provided five years of customer-count data to support the proposal.
Environmental Services Superintendent Darlene Selley told the board the county’s recycling trailer is frequently out and that staffing and workload pressures make Saturday operations unsustainable. She said closing on Saturdays would allow employees to maintain 40‑hour workweeks in their assigned duties and would reduce building costs; she presented a five‑year spreadsheet of Saturday customer counts to inform the decision.
The board took no immediate formal vote on the proposal during the meeting. Selley also attended a short executive session on non‑elected personnel tied to department staffing; that session reopened with no public decisions recorded.
