RE: Mrs. Keckley appeared before the Board and presented the following report: Balance as of April 30, 1984 ............................. $11,884.80 Additional checks returned NSF during May & June, 1984... 646.53 Checks redeposited during May & June ..................... 3,548.23 Checks which had taxes recharged during May & June....... 3,234.35 BALANCE OUTSTANDING 5,748.75 I request that the outstanding balance of $5,748.75 be charged off and absorbed by the General Fund per auditor's request. This balance includes checks for decals; dog tags; checks dated beyond the statute of limitations no longer allowing us to recharge the taxes; checks whose letters have been returned because the writer can no longer be located; a good portion of these checks are under $50.00. In my opinion, further pursuit in collecting or attempting to collect these checks would be a waste of time and money. /s/ Dorothy B. Keckley Dorothy B. Keckley, Treasurer After discussion by the Board this list was referred to the Finance Committee for their review and recommendation. PUBLIC WORKS COMMITTEE REPORT Mr. C. William Orndoff, Jr., Chairman of the Public Works Committee, presented the following report: The Public Works Committee met on June 19 and 26, 1984, at 11:30 A.M. All members were present. Also present were John Riley, John Horne, Paul Rhinehart and Bob Harriman. The subject of both meetings was the problem of used tire disposal in Frederick County, Clarke County and Winchester. The options ranged from the County Landfill purchasing a chipper to leaving the disposal of tires to free enterprise. Discussion of the various options were wide and encompassed many variables. It was decided that the best option would be to continue the present mode of operation, that is continue to refuse tires at the Landfill. Telephone conversations with the Division of Solid Waste Management indicates that covering shredded tires requires a cover thickness of 2 -3 feet rather than the 6 -8 inches necessary for normal refuse. Mr. Rhinhart indicated that the fire has been reduced to a "garden size" area and should be out totally in a week. Within 6 to 8 weeks after the fire is out, Mr. Rhinehart indicated that he might be ready to test his furnace. There was no action taken.
