2.                  APPOINTMENTS:

 

Teresa Shute, Noxious Weed-Landfill Supervisor, reported she had received a survey from the State concerning a scale being located at the landfill. Presently, we do not weight the material going into the landfill and have not been required to so. The Commissioners asked that she check into the cost of scales, new and used, just in case the state changes it requirements. Due to the fact the old pit is almost full and the new one has not been permitted, Mrs. Shute requested that we no longer allow concrete to come into the landfill. The Commissioners agreed. The recycling open house will be November 13^th and she will be hosting the Regional Weed Directors on October 15^th. With the days getting shorter, some lighting is necessary in the new recycling building. The Commissioners authorized getting bids for putting electricity in the building.
