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.

Commissioner Harrod stated that the committee had met and narrowed down the applicants to nine or ten.
