Discuss Yard Waste: Patti informed the Board that she received an email from Chief Deputy,
Daren Higashiyama about opening back up the acceptance of Yard Waste for disposal. Chief
Sinclair also asked the question since people are doing more yard work while stuck at home and
that they are starting to burn their debris. Patti informed the Board that daily numbers are still
relatively high even without the acceptance of Yard Waste. Discussion was held on the impact of
adding additional customers through the facilities and fire concerns in the County. Discussion
was held on different options including the collecting of monies, what it would look like if we
accepted it for free, wearing appropriate PPE, limiting stress and protecting our essential
workers. Dr. Larson, Health Officer stated that the overall risk for the Scalehouse attendants is
low. The Board directed Staff to accept Yard waste again with no restrictions and to put out a
news release the first of the week emphasizing that residents should bring their yard waste to the
Transfer Stations rather than burning it.
Discuss General Coronavirus Workplace Recommendations: Patti asked the Board for
direction on implementing the Department of L&I guidelines regarding screening and.6-foot
distance in the workplace and how they would like Maintenance staff to plan and prepare the
Courthouse and various offices for return to work once the Stay at Home Order is lifted.
Discussion was held on screens for workplace office/desks, temporary versus permanent,
associated costs, availability and placing tape on the floors for customers to maintain distance.
The Board directed to staff to put a packet together with prices and the various options and bring
it back to the Board for consideration.
Shady Brook Update: Patti informed the Board that she received the test results on the homes
the County owns. Patti asked the Board for direction on going out to bid for the Demo. The
Board directed staff to check the fund balance. Patti informed the Board she would check with
Judy and plan on going out to bid and plan for the Demo for after the rodeo.
