REGULAR MEETING DEPARTMENT HEAD EVENT CENTER
Jill Scheffer, Event Center Director stated that the Event Center’s
Dump Truck is no longer repairable. She questioned if the Board felt
strongly or had a preference if the County were to pursue a Dump
Trailer, Dump Truck or Garbage Service and reviewed the impacts to
the budget for each.
Chairman Jewell questioned if prices had been obtained for a
dumpster compactor and there was discussion regarding the cost
involved with hauling the compactor waste away. There was discussion
of fabricating a metal lid fabricated for a dump trailer.
Staff was directed to prepare a Budget Amendment and move forward
with the purchase of a dump trailer and a fabricated metal lid for
the trailer.
Ms. Scheffer reviewed a letter from 2016 the County received from
DOE and she has no record that it was responded to by the Board. She
stated that they need to respond regarding what the County intends
to do with the Rodeo Board Director Barn so that there is no longer
feces going into the stream, as that is one of the primary concerns
in the letter from Ecology.
There was discussion on removal of the barn and the potential to
replace them with temp stalls. Chairman Jewell suggested forming a
small panel consisting of a Commissioner (Osiadacz), Fair & Rodeo
Board, Ecology and WDFW. He suggested they begin meetings in October
or November and bring a letter back for Vice-Chair signature.
Ms. Scheffer provided an update on the Event Center’s desires to
pursue damage deposits. Ms. Scheffer was directed with work with the
Credit Card Company and have it set up to where they can have the
individual holding an event sign a pre-authorization letter to hold
funds instead of having to authorize refunds. Ms. Scheffer also was
