Revising Tillamook County s Recovery Rate 3:35 4:00 Background DEQ is developing legislative concepts on solid waste management and recovery for possible introduction in the 2015 Legislative session. The concepts, developed with feedback from a Materials Management Workgroup and subgroups including over 90 public and private sector representatives, include possible updates to wasteshed recovery goals. Goals were last updated in 2001 and were set through DEQ met with stakeholders in Tillamook County at a public meeting on August 12. The meeting was well attended, and a positive discussion took place, involving all three county commissioners, five SWAC members, representatives of three haulers and two transfer stations, two mayors, members of EDC, TAC, Futures Council, and several members of the public. DEQ proposes eliminating the 2% credits by rolling them into an additional optional program element. (See attached summary slide from a recent DEQ ROA meeting.) Statistics provided by DEQ show that even without the 2% additional credits, Tillamook County has achieved an average 32.1% ( ). At the close of the meeting, participants were asked to individually recommend a recovery goal for the Reduce Reuse Recycle AN EQUAL OPPORTUNITY EMPLOYER

4 DATE: July 8, 2014 TILLAMOOK COUNTY Solid Waste Advisory Committee Meeting PLACE: Port of Tillamook Bay Conference Room MEMBERS PRESENT: Linda Kozlowski, Robert Poppe, Jack Lorette, Gordon Hood, Sam Mason MEMBERS ABSENT: Susan Walsh, Tom Jayred, David Larmouth STAFF PRESENT: David McCall (SW Program Manager), Peggy Weitman (Recorder) GUESTS PRESENT: Paul Carbaugh, Aaron Averill, Karen Reddick-Yurka AGENDA ITEM 1: CALL TO ORDER: Chairperson Linda Kozlowski called the meeting to order at 3:03 with a quorum present. AGENDA ITEM 2: WELCOME AND INTRODUCTIONS: Introductions were made. AGENDA ITEM 3: APPROVAL OF MINUTES for May 13, 2014: Sam moved and Gordon seconded to approve the minutes of May 13, 2014 as written. Motion carried unanimously. AGENDA ITEM 4: APPROVAL OF MINUTES FOR JUNE 10, 2014: Jack moved and Robert seconded to approve the minutes of June 10, 2014 as written. Motion carried unanimously. AGENDA ITEM 5: TRANSFER STATION REVIEW TASK FORCE REPORT: Linda said the Task Force met to discuss benchmarks and policies for reviewing the one year trial program. David said the Notes from the meeting are a good summary and it was a positive meeting. Linda asked for a vote from SWAC Members to approve the Task Force Proposed Criteria and Benchmarks for Success. Gordon moved and Sam seconded to accept the Task Force Proposed Criteria and Benchmarks for Success. Motion carried unanimously. Paul cautioned the Task Force could be creating an added expense by asking for quarterly reporting from MTS and PCTS. The expense would be in time to collect the data. Sam suggested log sheets instead of reports. Linda asked for a vote from SWAC Members to approve the continuation of the Review Task Force Sub- Committee. Sam moved and Jack seconded to approve the continuation of the Review Task Force Sub- Committee. Motion carried unanimously. AGENDA ITEM 6: PREFERENTIAL RATE REQUEST FROM CITY SANITARY SERVICE: David said County Counsel feels our Ordinance #4 does not allow for preferential rates. Because this is a short term offer by City Sanitary Service (CSS) and Bennett Family Farms, County Counsel recommends that this be treated as a promotional opportunity because a preferential rate may require 2 public hearings. Bobby explained that they are offering their current customers a one-time $5.00 credit if they are using the milk services of Bennett Family Farms. New customers who sign up for garbage service and milk service will receive a credit for one month of service (up to $20.00). Bobby said the milk is pasteurized not homogenized. Bobby said CSS long term goal is to eliminate plastics from our waste stream and their first proposal is the milk jug promotional opportunity. Bobby said this cross promotion between CSS and Bennett Family Farms was approved by The City of Tillamook. Bobby said we may need to address a change in Ordinance #4 if this becomes a long term proposal. Bobby said we should encourage public to make good choices and not penalize 1

5 them for doing the right thing. Bobby said Bennett Family Farm will share with CSS the number of customers they have at the end of this promotion and that will show how many plastic milk jugs are not being purchased. The SWAC Members whole heartedly support CSS & Bennett Family Farms in their promotional objective. Bobby said if 600 people were to use the milk service, the quantity of plastic prevented would be equal to more than an entire year s quantity of plastic currently recycled by CSS. AGENDA ITEM 7: BRIEFING ON DEQ S RECOVERY RATE REVISION PROCESS: David said DEQ has similar plan to our Solid Waste Management Plan. DEQ came up with a goal so far down the road in 2050 that those sitting at the table currently will not still be sitting at the table at goals end. They picked the goal completion date of 2050 and then took steps backwards to work on meeting short term goals. The group was divided into 3 sub-committees for funding, goals & measures and opportunity to recycle (ROA). The original ROA was started in 1983 and revised a couple times, most recently in In new legislation they propose to integrate the 2% credits into a new program element. Tillamook County was able to receive 2 of the 2% credits for home composting and waste reduction/reuse in David said it was not practical to integrate the 2% credits into the recycling system. David said DEQ is looking for us by September to come back with a recovery rate for 2020, short term goal and 2025, midterm goal. David would like to set up a stake-holders workshop within Tillamook County. He would like to invite significant waste generators at the meeting such as, SW Haulers, Grocery Stores and the Cheese Factory. He would like to invite Tillamook Estuary Partnership, Future s Council and Economic Development. David said DEQ would also be presenting at this workshop. The meeting will be held August 12, 2014 from 3:00 to 5:00 pm. David is hoping for a good turnout. Linda suggested seeking a co-sponsor for the meeting. Sam said Tillamook County Cheese Factory would be interested in co-sponsoring. AGENDA ITEM 8: RECYCLING AT THE TILLAMOOK COUNTY FAIR: David said Solid Waste and the Road Department will share a booth at the fair. David said we are looking for SWAC Members to man the booth from August 6 to August 9. David said cardboard, tin cans, wooden pallets, used cans/bottles, food waste and cooking oil was recycled at the Fair last year. David said we are not doing food waste this year. AGENDA ITEM 9: ORDINANCE #4: Linda asked for a motion to accept the green lines in the Solid Waste Ordinance #4. Sam moved and Jack seconded to accept the green lines in the Solid Waste Ordinance #4. Motion passed unanimously. David went over the red writing in Ordinance #4 and explained the suggested changes: 4.01 The language change would give us enforcement possibilities to keep all waste which requires processing or disposal shall be delivered to and disposed of at a disposal site authorized by the Board. A waiver would be needed to cover dead animals. Bobby moved and Sam seconded to omit this language from Motion carried unanimously (C) (a) David went over and explained language changes including Version I and II. Bobby said Version II was better because the language was broader. Sam moved and Gordon seconded to accept Version II language. Motion carried unanimously (C) (d) David went over and explained changes in language including Version I and II. David recommended the language in Version II because it gives flexibility. Sam moved and Gordon seconded to accept the language in Version II. Motion carried unanimously (C) (e) David went over and explained changes in language. Bobby moved and Sam seconded to accept the language change. Motion carried unanimously (A) (c) David explained the changes in language on inoperable vehicles parked at residences. Bobby moved and Sam seconded to add the language. Motion carried unanimously. After further discussion on the issue the Members talked about leaving this section language change open for further discussion. Bobby felt this was a Board of Commissioners issue not the SWAC Members on the number of inoperable vehicles allowed at a residence. Linda suggested communication with The Department of Community Development should take place on the number of vehicles that would be allowable. Bobby moved 2

6 and Gordon seconded to accept the language change with the addition that The Department of Community Development will be involved in the decision of how many inoperable vehicles a residence can have. Motion carried unanimously. AGENDA ITEM 10: STAFF REPORT: Linda asked David about Cape Kiwanda Recycling Center. David said Larry Ferreira from the Parks Department did a great job at Cape Kiwanda over the 4 th of July weekend. David said the compactors functioned well and the recycling bins were overflowing. David said there was vandalism on two cameras. Linda said we need to send Larry Ferreira a Thank You card from SWAC. The SWAC members agreed to the recommended HHW and CEG dates in AGENDA ITEM 11: PUBLIC COMMENT: Karen said she was happy to be here. She said everything went well over the 4 th of July weekend and CARTM was busy. Paul said Thank You to David for coming to PCTS on Saturday and helping Phil. Aaron said they were also busy at TTS. David complimented all 3 transfer stations on the smooth changing of systems in the middle of a busy holiday weekend. AGENDA ITEM 12: ADJOURN: Meeting adjourned at 5:04 pm. Minutes submitted by Peggy Weitman 3

7 Individuals are considered public officials in their role as members of SWAC. Because SWAC membership is based on industry/interest/trade representation, SWAC members may participate in discussions and voting on topics which affect a company or organization with which they have a financial interest or employment relationship. Any member of SWAC with any direct or indirect interest in a business issue under discussion shall fully disclose such interest to the SWAC members. This need be done only once per meeting. If there is an actual conflict of interest as defined by ORS , then in the interest of transparency it is recommended that the member refrain from participating as a public official in any discussion or debate on the issue out of which the actual conflict arises or from voting on the issue. If a public official s vote is necessary to meet a requirement of a minimum number of votes to take official action, then the member shall be eligible to vote, but should not participate as a public official (but rather as an interested party) in any discussion or debate on the issue out of which the actual conflict of interest arises.

Thus the expenses tend to lag one month after action, and reflect actual payment, rather than performance dates, whereas cash revenues are consistent with the month and charged revenues with the month of payment. Reduce Reuse Recycle AN EQUAL OPPORTUNITY EMPLOYER

32 For example, cash payments for MSW during June 14 are included, but revenue from charge accounts will not be seen until payment is received, i.e. in July 14. Likewise all personnel expenses for the month of June 14 are included, but expenses like contractor expenses will be included when paid, i.e. in July 14. This may distort some figures and understandings of them slightly, but given that this occurs each year, it should in theory average out over time.

33 Tillamook County PUBLIC WORKS DEPARTMENT Department of Solid Waste Waste Prevention and Recycling 503 Marolf Loop Road Tillamook, Oregon PH (503) FAX (503) Land of Cheese, Trees and Ocean Breeze August 28, 2014 Staff Report To the Solid Waste Advisory Committee I. Hazardous Waste Our recent HHW events throughout the summer have seen average attendance. We implemented changes in the place we perform administrative functions with incoming vehicles, with the intention of setting up an express lane to better serve those customers who have only a small quantity of materials. We found that through this change, customers were much more patient, and the line to enter the building decreased significantly so significantly that we had almost no opportunity to send people through the express lane. In August we tried an alternative method for bulking latex paint, and collected approximately gallons of white latex paint, ready for recycling. Based on this we expanded the collection system, and will try to collect and bulk latex paint based on 7 colors at this next event. II. Paint Care / Product Stewardship Commissioner Josi have agreed to chair the Association of Oregon Counties Product Stewardship Improvement Workgroup (PSIW), aiming to 1) fix the PaintCare situation, and 2) evaluate problems and good aspects of product stewardship programs already enacted (paint, e-waste) and those expected (mattresses, mercury, etc.) and establish a set of recommendations for the state legislature as to what future programs must consider and embrace before they are established in the state of Oregon. I will be staffing the PSIW together with Mark Nystrom from AOC. III. Fair Both fairgoers and vendors demonstrated their commitment to recycling, recycling on average twice as much as last year, helping to ensure this is a Fair to Remember. Tillamook County Fair recycles change Cardboard 980 lb 780 lb -20% Cooking oil 65 gal 230 gal 254% Pallets % Bottles & Cans 1, % manure 105 yds 105 yds 0% garbage 29,940 lb 31,040 lb 4% 1

34 We would like to thank our partners in this project, namely: the Tillamook County Fairgrounds, City Sanitary Service, and Don G. Averill Recycling. And I would like to thank the two SWAC members who volunteered their valuable time representing our department in our booth: Jack Lorette and Dave Larmouth. IV. Master Recycler Program We will hold our first intensive Master Recycler Course in Tillamook County (at the PoTB) September 12-15, with an optional field trip to Portland-area recycling processors on September 26 th. V. Code Enforcement We have responded to several cases of reported (and actual) burning of garbage this summer. VI.
