Session for 10 minutes- with no action anticipated - RCW 42.30.110 (g) To evaluate the

application. Discussion was held on the Public Works Trust Fund compliance with the GMA.
Update on LPL Closure: Patti informed the Board that we are moving forward with closure.
Discussion was held on working with Ecology on permits and closing in phases. Discussion was
held on the cost to expand which would be approximately 7 million, because a liner would be
required for expansion. Further discussion was held on the date of closure, which depends on the
remaining capacity and the amount of material received. Further discussion included posting
signage or a QR code on the website to give the public an estimate of the date of closure.
Personnel Discussion: Patti informed the Board that we are down an operator and proposed
preparing a PAF for a step increase for our float operator. The Board agreed 3-0.

except for installation of the Flagpole.

Update on new Parking Lot: Patti informed the Board that the Land Use signs are installed in
the Parking Lot North of the Jail and that we should have a permit in 30 days and then we will go
out to bid for the project. Discussion was held on it being a three-month project depending on
weather. Further discussion was held on removing the storage container and eventually replacing
it with two storage sheds, one for snow equipment and one for lawn equipment.
McKinstry HVAC Units installation update: Patti informed the Board that it was rescheduled
for the second week of November.
Other Business - No Action to be taken. Discussion was held on being down to one scale at the
Upper County Transfer Station, re-routing the interior grade fiber and putting it to a conduit
rather than just burying it like it was originally installed. Patti informed the Board the cost would
be about $8,000.00.
Patti informed the Board that the material being hauled to Ryegrass from the Airport was
complete.
