Landfill advisory member resigns; organizers raise concerns about event permitting
Summary
A long-serving Landfill Advisory Committee member resigned, urging bylaw and membership reviews, and a local festival organizer told supervisors that permit forms and law-enforcement cost estimates are inconsistent; the county administrator was asked to review permitting procedures.
William Easter told the Board he is resigning from the Landfill Advisory Committee, saying recent recommendations were not acted on promptly and urging a review of committee bylaws and membership to ensure future appointees will pursue actionable improvements. The resignation was presented during public comment and Easter asked the Board to "carefully consider future appointments to the Landfill Advisory Committee," citing the committee’s reduced effectiveness.
Windsor Lavender Farm owner Ryan Paul said his Lavender Festival permit materials had been placed on hold by the Sheriff's Office after initial submission and that he has since reapplied. Paul highlighted uncertainty about outdated permit forms and estimating law-enforcement staffing costs for events; Chairman David M. Felts asked County Administrator Eric Pollitt to review the special-event permitting process to improve predictability for organizers. No formal action was taken; staff were asked to report back.
