5. What are the plans for staffing the Recycling Program in the Solid <br />Waste Division? (Cardwell) <br />Director Mansour said he just sent an email to Human Resources to start the recruitment <br />process for George Hayducsko, who had recently retired as the Recycling Coordinator. And <br />whoever qualifies, on the west side, east side, please keep an eye on it. Tell someone that you <br />know or yourself, if you qualify, apply for it. We need to get the most qualified people. It’s a <br />challenging time. Yesterday in the meeting, some of the Council members suggested we could <br />maybe change requirements to ease the restrictions in hiring for the role. To him, he objected <br />to that because we cannot just get anybody. We need somebody experienced in the solid waste <br />business. It would help you and would help me from a Department point of view to set all these <br />goals and objectives that everybody has been talking about. If you know anybody out there, put <br />the word out, he said. <br /> <br />8. FUTURE AGENDA ITEMS <br />a. Follow up on action items determined today. <br />Chair Adams said we will be talking about solid waste funding options to come. <br /> <br />She also had a suggestion to talk about recycling photovoltaic panels and electric car batteries, <br />and getting ready for that before it piles up here. <br /> <br />b. Other (Commissioners may suggest items they would like placed on the next <br />agenda.) <br />If there are other items Commissioners would like to see on the agenda, let Chair Adams know, <br />she said. <br />Chair Adams asked the public that if you have some items, probably the best way to do it would <br />be to go to your district Commissioner or send it to the Chair, and she will see how she can <br />work it into the agenda. In the meantime she will continue looking at the Integrated Solid <br />Waste Management Plan. <br />If there are specific items to discuss for a future agenda, that would be appreciated, she said. <br />9. ANNOUNCEMENTS <br />The next meeting is scheduled for October 27, 2021, online or at a location to be <br />announced. Please contact the Department of Environmental Management or monitor the <br />website for updates. <br />The October 27, 2021, meeting will be online via Zoom. <br /> <br />Chair Adams said we have a request from a Council member to avoid scheduling EMC meetings <br />on days that conflict with Council meetings. So we might talk about how we want to schedule <br />next year’s calendar, and she will work with the Secretary on that. <br /> <br />27 <br /> <br /> <br />
