Discussion re-Neil Hudson, Director of Public Works, explained that
garding Solid he had sent a memo to Rick Isham in regard to Solid Waste
Waste Revenue modifications. Based on projections in the Solid Waste
Shortfall Quarterly Report, they have a reveneue shortfall of
$115,000. He then outlined possible remedies. He noted
that they have budgeted $175,000 for a new trash compactor,
but did not feel that they could afford to delay this
purchase for another year. He suggested making some
personnel cuts which would result in approximately $60,000
savings. If they can purchase a trash compactor for
less than $175,000 that will also result in some savings.
They can also delay purchasing this until the end of
the fiscal year. He discussed briefly the current situation
regarding; trash compactors, explaining why he felt that
it was necessary to proceed with the plans to purchase
:another.. He also suggested cutting back on the landfill
hours of operation and had prepared a tentative schedule
reflecting this reduction for the Board to review. He
noted that the franchisers could let themselves in with
a`~key'to the gate. With regard to personnel reduction,
Mr.,Hud-son is proposing that three equipment operators
be laid off. He suggested that they be laid off immed-
iately, but given two weeks notice with pay. This would
mean they would be paid for two weeks without working.
.,,He proposed this because of the increased change of
acc-dgnts occuring during this time, due to the increased
stress on the worker. He noted that one of these people
had already resigned, they just will not fill the position.
It was noted that the Southwest and Negus landfills
could not take franchisers garbage on closed days because
it will not be covered on a daily basis as DEQ requires.

Mr. Hudson also asked that the Board approve a license
agreement with the City of Sisters for use of the landfill,.
Mr. Isham stated that there had been some concern expressed"
in regard to the solid waste ordinance. He had
drafted a "clean-up" ordinance to amend that ordinance,
which would address these concerns. He gave copies
of the draft to the Board for review. He noted that
this adds a new article to the solid waste disposal
and collection ordinance and provides for license agreements
such as the one proposed with the City of Sisters.or
other quasi-public functions. Mr. Isham stated that
he did not feel that this amendment was necessary to
provide for licenses at the landfills, but it will provide
certainty to anyone who questions it. It was suggested
that the term of all licenses begin July 1 and be valid
for a period of one year. There was some further general
discussion in regard to how the fees for franchisers
and licensees are calculated.
With regard to rescheduling, it is anticipated that
this will become effective November 15. At this time
it was requested that the Board approve the proposed
change in operation with respect to the schedule.
It was noted that the proposed ordinance amendment would
be going to the Solid Waste Advisory Committee this
evening, and the concensus of the Board was that they
were in agreement with the intent of the ordinance.
MOTION: PAULSON moved that the Board approve the
recommendation of Neil Hudson as outlined
in the memo of October 28, 1982 unless
substantial concerns arise at the Solid
Waste Advisory Committee meeting tonight.
YOUNG: Second.
Peggy Spieger, LaPine, asked if there would be an oppor-
tunity to work out problems with the franchisers in
regard to the schedule. Mr. Hudson responded that they
must comply with DEQ regulations and at this time DEQ
requires that trash at the southwest landfill must be
covered daily. He stated that if DEQ will modify their
requirements to allow trash to be dumped on days that
it will not be covered, they could make arrangements
for franchisers to have a key to get in on closed days.
VOTE: SHEPARD: AYE.
PAULSON: AYE.
YOUNG: AYE.
