LANDFILL OPERATION: No one should be turned away from <br />the landfill or convenient centers with legal trash due to improper <br />bagging or hauling practices. This invites illegal dumping to occur <br />on private property.

Chairman <br />Stafford appointed the following to work on the committee: <br />Commission Paschal, Bobby Johnson, John Payne, Sheriff <br />Bryant, Ernest Dalrymple, David Dycus, and Commissioner <br />Stafford. <br />At this point, Chairman Stafford asked if there was any other <br />business to be discussed. Commissioner Wicker made a motion for the <br />7 <br />
