OTHER BUSINESS

Mr. Randolph said that:

•  Tiffany Eichorst and the Solid Waste Department received two awards from the American Public Works Association (A.P.W.A.). One was for the Pollution Incident Prevention Plan (P.I.P.P.) and the other was for the Crushed Concrete Crushing and Recycling, using the concrete removed from the I-69 reconstruction.

•  Tiffany Eichorst would be submitting an Anti-Littering Ordinance to the County Board. This is the comments period, so if the Board sees any changes that need to be made to let her know.

•  He attended a meeting with Parma Township regarding the Albion connection. They do not want anyone dumping lagoon effluents into Rice Creek either. Senator Schauer indicated he would like to meet with us and MDEQ. Notices have been sent to several homes regarding the high levels of salt in their drinking water; bottled water has been provided to one home. The County Drain Commissioner is assisting with contact and meetings to be held in Charlotte.
