Linn County solid waste working group elects chair, sets three-meeting schedule
Summary
The working group convened Feb. 17 at the Gene Oxley Public Service Center, elected a chair by voice vote and agreed to three meetings to study governance of the Linn County Solid Waste Agency under the MOU signed by Marion, Cedar Rapids, Linn County and the agency governing board.
Sammy Sheets, the Linn County supervisor, called the Solid Waste Working Group to order at 5:30 p.m. and opened the meeting with introductions of participating officials and staff.
The first formal action was to elect a chair to run the condensed three-meeting review. A motion to elect a chair was moved and seconded and "motion carries," the group said after a voice vote. Members agreed on a schedule that includes a Friday morning meeting at 8:30 a.m. for an HDR presentation on capacity and siting options and an additional meeting the following Tuesday.
The group's charge, as outlined in the memorandum of understanding signed by the City of Marion, City of Cedar Rapids, Linn County and the Solid Waste Agency governing board, is to study different governing structures and recommend any changes to each participating entity. The working group will review the 28E agreement and the 2006 settlement agreement as part of that work.
The working group directed members to prepare board-composition proposals and principles for review at the next meeting and scheduled follow-up research and outreach to comparable agencies.
