AGENDA ITEM NO. 9: Presentation regarding curbside recycling and transfer station.
Mr. Todd Adcock provided information regarding the progress being made with the transfer station. He stated that on January 18, 2011, the permit application was submitted to DEQ; this is normally a 60 day process. Cardinal Engineering has been involved in the design phase, and Westchester will be doing the construction once approval from DEQ has been received. The design currently consists of a completely enclosed building with two bays. Once completed, the facility will be able to process 100 – 200 tons of trash per day. Mr. Adcock anticipates groundbreaking in April or May, with 8 months of construction to complete the project.
Mr. Joe Howard spoke regarding recycling. He indicated that they would be able to accommodate the city’s request regardless of which direction is taken.
Commissioner Smith stated that he would like to see costs for city-wide recycling and would encourage citizens to move forward with curbside recycling at each residence.
Mayor Peterson asked about voluntary recycling prior to mandatory city-wide recycling. Mr. Howard stated that voluntary recycling would require a certain amount of participation to make it cost effective; however, they could comply with whichever option the City chooses. Mayor Peterson stated that conversations need to continue, taking into consideration what level of service residents want and how much the community will be willing to pay for the service.
Mr. Mike Adcock then spoke regarding recycling and urged the commission and citizens to think through the costs involved with the project. To implement curb-side recycling would be very expensive and the costs may be prohibitive to some citizens. He further stated that costs associated with recycling on a voluntary basis are also expensive.
AGENDA ITEM NO. 10: Report from committee on progress regarding city attorney position and possibly setting a date for a special call meeting.
Commissioner Harrod stated that the committee had met and narrowed down the applicants to nine or ten. Then, after conducting telephone interviews, they had further narrowed the applicant field to three candidates. It was the consensus of the City Commission members present that a special called meeting should be set to interview the final three candidates. The date of Monday, March 21, 2011 at 1:00 p.m. has been designated for the Special Called Meeting.
AGENDA ITEM NO. 11: New Business (Any matter not known about or which could not have been reasonably foreseen prior to the posting of the agenda)

AGENDA ITEM NO. 12: Administrative Reports

He is further looking into options of providing a holding facility inside City Hall, publishing names in the local papers, running the information on Channel 30 and using Blackboard Connect to collect on outstanding warrants.
Stephen Nolen, Chief Information Officer, addressed the Commission regarding the iPads that were provided to them earlier in the evening. He gave a brief outline of the information that can currently be obtained from their iPads and will meet with each Commissioner one-on-one to provide more in-depth training.
