COMMITTEE REPORTS:
LANDFILL OVERSITE COMMITTEE - APPROVED UNDER CONSENT AGENDA
The landfill oversight committee met on Thursday, November 18, 1999, at 8:00 a.m. in the
fourth floor conference room at the Frederick County Administration Building. All committee
members were present except Mike Noel. The following issues were discussed:
1. Project Update
a. Closure of Cells "A" and "B", Phase I: The Director of Public Works presented the
committee with a brief status report for the subject project. To date, the clay layer and synthetic liner
have been placed over the entire area in question. The contractor is currently placing the 24 inches
of soil and topsoil on the synthetic liner and overlying drainage geotextile. The drainage piping is
being placed in conjunction with the cover soils. Gas piping will be placed after the cover soils are
completed. It is anticipated that the entire project including soil stabilization will be completed on
or before January 1 , 2000.
b. Expansion of Construction/Demolition Debris (CDD) Landfill: The designer, SCS
Engineers, Inc., is currently in the process of completing design documents for an additional five (5)
acres ofCDD landfill disposal area. We anticipate advertising and awarding a contract on or before
May 1,2000.

Board of Supervisors Meeting of 12/08/99
Minute Book Number 26
382
completed by SCS Engineers, Inc. Our 529 permit will be modified to accommodate the new
design. We anticipate advertising and awarding a contract on or before March 1, 2000.
2. Special Waste
The landfill manager, Steve Frye, indicated that the municipal solid waste (MSW) landfill
is still experiencing problems with a few isolated industries delivering wastes which are difficult to
handle. In particular, these wastes (bulk card board cartons and styrofoam beads) are relatively light
but occupy a very large volume and are difficult, ifnot impossible, to compact. Our current special
waste tipping fee is based on weight and does not adequately address the lost effort and lost air space
that are created by these light weight waste by-products. Therefore, the landfill staff is
recommending that a tipping fee based on estimated volume be applied to these types of special
wastes. Weare furtherrecommending that the landfill manager be given the authority and discretion
when applying this special waste fee. Based on lost air space, we recommend a fee of$38.00 per
cubic yard.
A motion was made by John Riley and seconded by Gary Lofton to approve the request and
give the landfill manager the authority to use his discretion when charging for special waste based
on volume. The committee unanimously approved the motion.
3. Proposed FY 2000/2001 Landfill Budt:et
A budget of$4,993,369 is being proposed for FY 200012001. A copy ofthe proposed budget
was provided to each committee member. The proposed budget package included a narrative, FY
1998/1999 accomplishments, an expenditure summary, detailed expenditure descriptions, a revenue
summary and a detailed tipping fee evaluation. Once again the budget is being driven by revenue
projections rather than proposed expenditures. Fortunately, we have been able to stay slightly ahead
ofthe Department of Environmental Quality's imposed unfunded mandates. Also, tipping fees will
remain the same.
The committee accepted that budget proposal as information only.
PUBLIC WORKS COMMITTEE
The Public Works Committee met on Tuesday, November 30, 1999, at 8:00 a.m. All
members were present except for Tom Offutt.
The following items were discussed:
***Items Requiring Action***
1. Bids for Demolition of the Interior of the Old Countv Court House - Approved
The Director of Public Works presented the results ofthe bids for demolition of a portion of

Inc.

proposal was received from Triad Engineering, Inc. (Attachment 2) in the amount of $296.40 to
perform the survey. If asbestos is located, removal will be required prior to commencing demolition.
For budget purposes, we anticipate that the asbestos removal should be less than $2,000.
A motion was made by Jim Vickers and seconded by W. Harrington Smith, Jr. to award the
demolition contract to Jennings Construction, Inc. for $16,684.54 and authorize the asbestos survey
