Summary

Following state authorization, the Board amended the Materials Management Committee bylaws to reduce membership from 11 to 7 to meet quorum needs and appointed seven representatives as listed in the minutes.

Administrator Whiteford told the Committee that recent State changes authorize reducing the Materials Management Committee from 11 to seven members; the Board approved amending the bylaws accordingly and recorded appointments (or reductions/appointments) for seven seats, including representatives from haulers, composting/anaerobic operators, waste-diversion operators, an environmental interest group, and elected-official representatives.
