BOOK 22 nGE 301 401 Aye: Kelly, Lemmond, Paschal, Quiggle, and Reives Nay: Shook Absent: Brown The Vice-Chairman ruled the motion had been adopted by a five to one vote. Commissioner Shook stated she voted against the contract because she would have liked to see the spreadsheet requested before voting. Mr. Brinson stated he would furnish the Board the information requested by Commissioner Shook. The Board considered a revised Solid Waste Ordinance for Lee County. County Manager John Crumpton asked the Board to consider a revised Solid Waste Ordinance that would give county employees more authority to enforce litter, illegal dumping and abandoned automobile policies in the County. Mr. Crumpton stated that staff has been reviewing ways to clean up illegal dumping and other items covered under the current Solid Waste Ordinance. This change would allow staff to site individuals who violate the Ordinance. Currently the County has to sue the violators and take them to court which is expensive and time consuming. The new process will allow staff to work straight through the court system and allow for a fine to be imposed. Mr. Crumpton stated at some time the County might need to consider the creation of a Solid Waste Code Enforcement Officer position if a great deal of time is spent in this area. After some discussion, Commissioner Kelly moved to approve the first reading of the Solid Waste Ordinance as presented, a copy of which is attached to these minutes and by this reference made a part hereof. Upon a vote, the results were as follows: Aye: Kelly, Lemmond, Paschal, Quiggle, Reives, and Shook Nay: None Absent: Brown The Vice-Chairman ruled the Ordinance had passed on the first reading but must be considered again at the September meeting since Commissioner Brown was not present for the vote. The Board considered bids for a new chiller unit at the Lee County Courthouse. General Services Manager Russell Spivey told the Board that a pre-bid conference was held on August 7, 2008, with county personnel, Project Architect Darrell Mullins, Mechanical Engineer Bob Lysiak, and ten (10) contractor representatives.
