OLD BUSINESS
DRAFT ORDINANCE ON DISPOSAL SITES
Mr. Bohn, Counsel for the District, reviewed for Board Members,
staff and persons in the audience, the background and development of
the draft ordinance on disposal sites. As he had modified the original
draft, Mr. Bohn provided Board Members, staff and interested persons
with his new draft of the ordinance and explained the minor modifications
he had made. He then recommended that the ordinance be introduced this
date with Hearing to be held at a future date, possibly August 17, 1972.

Mr. George Gordon, attorney representing Acme Fill Corporation, ad-
dressed the Board and stated that he and other attorneys interested in
the District's draft ordinance had been in conference with Mr. Bohn.
Mr. Gordon stated that Acme Fill Corporation was presently regulated by
several govemmental agencies and that, in his opinion, further regu-
lation by the Sanitary District would be redundant. Howevert recognizing
the interest of the Board, he requested that no definitive action be taken
at this time in order to permit him to further consult with Counsel for
the District. Mr. Gordon requested the Board to continue the matter for
a minimum period of thirty days.
Mr. David Levy, Counsel for the City of Concord, supported Mr.
Gordon's comments and suggested that introduction of the draft ordinance
would be premature, citing the recently enacted legislation requiring a
State-wide solid waste management plan and functioning body. Mr. Levy
further explained that he was unfamiliar with the intent and purpose of
the proposed ordinance and, therefore, suggested a delay in initiating
action would be beneficial to all interested parties.
Discussion followed, after which it was the consensus of the Board
that it would entertain comments from staff and Mr. Bohn, Counsel for the
District, on the proposed ordinance at the meeting of August 17. The
Board would then consider introduction of the proposed ordinance at its
September 7 meeting with public hearing on the matter to be scheduled
at a subsequent date.

Board Members initiated their examination of the proposed Budget
by reviewing in detail with the staff the list of equipment requested.

pressed approval with the proviso that purchase of a new sedan motor
vehicle will be reconsidered by the Board at a future date.
In their examination of the Budget, Board Members discussed with
staff the acquisition of an additional portable storage facility and
its installation in the District's corporate yard area. After the
Board expressed concern that staff insure that the facility have ade-
quate ventilationt it was moved by Member Mitchell, seconded by Member
Boneysteele, that authorization of $15,000.00 from the Sewer Construction
