County Board Chairman Wirth

Call to order Chairperson Pape called the meeting to order at 9:00 a.m. and noted that a quorum was present.

Minutes: Review of minutes from January 8, 2003. Motion was made by Supervisor Hilber and seconded by Supervisor Karshna to approve the minutes as written. All voting aye, motion carried.

Payment of invoices: It was discussed that flammable liquids are the programs largest expense. Is this due to paint or gasoline? Paul Roback was instructed to remind ONYX to separate gasoline and paint on the individual invoice sheets so that it can be determined which flammable liquid is the larger contributor. Motion was made by Supervisor Eckert and seconded by Supervisor Hilber to approve payment of the January invoice # 303586553 for $3,952.55. All voting aye, the motion carried.

Discussion of Dissolving Committee: Paul Roback informed the committee of the current County ordinance on responsibilities of the committee. According to the ordinance, the committee is responsible for updating the County’s solid waste management plan as deemed necessary. Since no such plan exists for Ozaukee County and Corporation Council has determined that State Statute does not require such a plan, there appears to be no reason to complete such a plan. Therefore, the responsibilities of the Committee outlined in the County Ordinance could be transferred to another committee. The main responsibility of the committee, although not stated in the County ordinance, is the oversight of the County’s Household Hazardous Waste (HHW) Collection Program. The HHW program is staffed by UW-Extension and the budget for the program is in the UW-Extension department budget.

It was discussed which committee these duties should be transferred to. Possible committees may include Emergency Management, Agriculture and Extension Education, Highway and Land Conservation. It was discussed that it is the responsibility of the County Board Chair and Administrative Coordinator to decide which committee these duties should be transferred to.

Motion was made by Supervisor Karshna and seconded by Supervisor Dohrwardt to Dissolve the Solid Waste Management Study Committee as of today, February 24, 2003, and transfer the duties of the committee to the Administrative Coordinator and County Board Chair until the responsibilities are reassigned to another committee. All voting aye, the motion carried.

Paul Roback read back the minutes of this meeting back to the committee. Motion was made by Supervisor Eckert and seconded by Supervisor Dohrwardt to approve the minutes as read. All voting aye, the motion carried.

Adjournment: Meeting adjourned at 9:35 a.m.

Dave Wheelis, ONYX/Superior

Tom Meaux, Administrative Coordinator

Call to order Chairperson Pape called the meeting to order at 9:00 a.m. and noted that a quorum was present.

Minutes: Motion was made by Supervisor Eckert and seconded by Supervisor Dohrwardt to approve the minutes as written. All voting aye, motion carried.

Tire Collection: Paul Roback informed the committee that the countywide used tire collection would be held on Saturday, November 16, 2002 from 9:00 a.m. to 2:00 p.m, at the County fairgrounds. The disposal costs for the tires will be the same as last year.

Washington County: Paul Roback Reported that Washington County applied for Clean Sweep Grant for 2003, but did not receive one. Currently, they have budgeted $15,000 for 1 or 2 collection days in 2003. They have done this in the past. Washington County Supervisors do not seem interested in expanding program. However, they receive several calls a week asking where residents can dispose of waste. Residents do not like that they have to drive to Port Washington to pay to have waste disposed of. Doug Johnson, Washington Administrative Coordinator, and Rob Schmid, Emergency Management Coordinator, are both interested in looking into the possibility of a joint two county program for 2004.

2003 Program Development: Dave Wheelis informed the committee that if the County signed a five-year contract, the unit pricing would be lowered. The contract could be written so that Washington County could be added at a later date. A joint program with Washington County might increase the chances for receiving a State grant. Paul Roback will look into this matter. A motion was made by Supervisor Eckert and seconded by Supervisor Dohrwardt to pursue entering a five-year contract with ONYX in order to reduce the unit cost of the program. All voting aye, the motion carried.

Dave Wheelis will prepare a 5-year contract proposal with a spreadsheet for the next committee meeting.

The committee debated several options for the 2003 program, including user fees, decreasing hours of operation and lowering the amount collected per person per visit. It was decided to not charge user fees and to keep the same hours of operation as 2002. A motion was made by Supervisor Karshna and seconded by Supervisor Dohrwardt to lower the total amount of pounds collected per person per visit to 75 lbs. There will not be a separate limit on paint. All voting aye, the motion carried.

Next Meeting: Friday December 6, 2002 at 9:00 a.m. in room 117.

Call to order Chairperson Pape called the meeting to order at 9:00 a.m. and noted that a quorum was present.

Minutes: Supervisor Pape suggested that all minutes should include the month, invoice number and dollar amount for the payment of the invoice. This change will be made. Review of minutes from the July 18, 2002 meeting. Motion was made by Supervisor Eckert and seconded by Supervisor Dohrwardt to approve the minutes as written with the addition of adding the month with the invoice number. All voting aye, motion carried.

Payment of Invoices: Paul Roback reviewed the individual invoice sheets for the month of August and found a difference of $259.54. Paul Bittner said that the invoice sheets are sometimes hard to read and that a mistake may have occurred. Paul Bittner will subtract this amount from the total for the month of August of $15,095.94. The new total is $14,836.40. Motion was made by Supervisor Hilber and seconded by Supervisor Eckert to approve payment of the July invoice # 218280139 for $7,773.95 and of August invoice # 221310018 for $14,836.40. All voting aye, the motion carried.

Motion was made by Supervisor Dohrwardt and seconded by Supervisor Karshna to go to the Finance Committee for a general fund transfer for the amount of $7,364.94. All voting aye, the motion carried.

Changes in 2003 Program: A motion was made by Supervisor Eckert and seconded by Supervisor Hilber that states; those clients that bring in excess amounts of stated maximum must pay overage unit cost and it must be the responsibility of the contractor to collect the overage unit cost. All voting aye, the motion carried.

ONYX will create separate columns for paint and flammable liquids. This will make it easier to monitor how much paint is being collected.

ONYX will separate alkaline batteries from other batteries collected. The County will not be charged for the alkaline batteries that are collected.

Paul Bittner asked if the County would be wiling to enter in to a long-term contract. If this were done, the County would realize a cost savings. For example, if the County signed a 5-year contract, ONYX would reduce their cost by 5%. This would save the County $12,000 over five years. Paul Roback and Tom Meaux will look into this. The Committee also instructed Paul Roback and Tom Meaux to contact Washington County and determine if they would be willing to operate a joint program with Ozaukee County. This should be accomplished by the next meeting.

Grant Application Update: Ozaukee County did not receive a DNR Clean Sweep Grant because the resolution was not passed prior to the grant application deadline. Therefore, the application was considered incomplete.

Southeast Wisconsin Solid Waste Reduction Coalition: Paul Roback informed the committee of his participation with this coalition. The coalition is a non-profit group of businesses, municipalities and community groups created to promote waste reduction. The coalition believes in education and point of purchase reduction in solid waste. They have formed a committee to look at hazardous waste reduction and asked Paul Roback serve as a member of this committee to represent Ozaukee County. The Committee instructed Paul Roback to add the Coalitions information to Ozaukee County’s Web Site.

Next Meeting: Friday November 1, 2002 at 9:00 a.m. in room 117.

Adjournment: Motion was made by Supervisor Dohrwardt and seconded by Supervisor Hilber to adjourn the meeting. All voting aye, the motion carried. Meeting adjourned at 10:20 a.m.

ALSO PRESENT: Paul Roback, Community Resource Development Educator

Call to order Chairperson Pape called the meeting to order at 9:02 a.m. and noted that a quorum was present.

Minutes: Review of minutes from June 5, 2002. Motion was made by Supervisor Eckert and seconded by Supervisor Dohrwardt to approve the minutes as written. All voting aye, motion carried.

Six Month Update: Paul Roback informed the committee that the program has serviced 37 more participants then this point last year and the dollars spent in the program is $645.77 less then this point last year. However, there is only $15,245.42 remaining in the funds for this year, which should last until the end of August. A motion was made by Supervisor Eckert and seconded by Supervisor Karshna to discontinue the program for 2002 on August 31, 2002. Supervisor’s Pape, Hilber, Dohrwardt and Karshna voted eye.

Paul Roback reported that the Highway Department does not accept transmission and brake fluid. Paul also reported that the Foth & Van Dyke study looked at combining multiple county owned garbage dumps and recycling centers into central locations. The result is a multi-county shared service agreement for these services. This may be hard to apply to Ozaukee County because the County does not own the hazardous waste collection site.

Supervisor Dohrwardt instructed Paul Roback to look at comparing Saturday collections to the Monday collections in order to assist the committee in making a decision regarding the 2003 program.

Supervisor Hilber instructed Paul Roback to make a correction to the grant application. List the dates as tentative pending funding. Supervisor Pape instructed the July date to be eliminated to reduce confusion.

There was also a consensus among the committee members that this program is essential to the environment and that the county should assume the program costs so that all county residents can participate. A motion was made by Kletti, seconded by Weyker, to recommend to the County Board that Ozaukee County assume full financial responsibility for the program beginning January 2001; that the committee's previous recommendation of $22,000 for next year's budget be rescinded; and that the County contribute $50,000 toward the program in 2001. All voting aye, the motion carried. There was also discussion that if the County Board approvals this recommendation, then it may be necessary for the committee to continue rather than disbanding.

July 13, 1999

PRESENT: Chairperson Pape, Supervisors Herro, Hilber, and Smith. ABSENT: Supervisor Kennedy. ALSO PRESENT: Community Development Educator Tetzlaff.

Call to order: Chairperson Pape called the meeting to order at 9:00 am and noted that a quorum was present.

Minutes: MSC the minutes of the May 11 meeting were approved as distributed.

Payment of invoices: Tetzlaff distributed copies of invoices for the months of May and June from Superior Special Services. He noted some abnormalities on the May invoice in regard to flammable solids. Superior verified that two elderly households from Mequon had brought-in vast amounts of solidified lead and oil-based paint. Since they apparently came from farms and because the amounts far exceed the 100# maximum, DATCP was contacted and the state paid to dispose of almost 700# of materials ($3,000). Tetzlaff had not yet verified whether there were abnormalities with the June invoice. On a motion by Herro, seconded by Hilber, the committee voted to approve Invoice #045447 in the amount of $4,726.93. All voting aye, motion carried. On a motion by Herro, seconded by Smith, the committee voted to approve payment of Invoice #046599 for $4,843.41, contingent upon further staff review. All voting aye, motion carried.

HHW program review and 2000 budget: Almost half of the 1999 budget has been expended through the month of June. The program is in good shape, however, if the county had to pay for the excessive disposal costs in May, the program would have run-of-funds early. Herro expressed the opinion that it is good that materials are being taken out of the waste stream and properly disposed of. It was mentioned that the City of Cedarburg may join next year. On a motion by Herro, seconded by Smith, the committee voted to increase next year's allocation from $20,000 to $22,000. All voting aye except Pape, motion carried. There was discussion about a fall collection of used tires. On motion by Herro, seconded by Hilber, the committee voted to begin planning a fall 1999 used tire collection. All voting aye, motion carried. (Note: the Agriculture & Extension Committee would need to authorize its employees to participate).

Next meeting: The next meeting would be held prior to a County Board meeting.

Adjournment: The meeting adjourned at 9:25 am.
