REQUEST FOR APPROVAL OF BUDGET AMENDMENT #18 FOR THE
SAFETY DIRECTOR'S DEPARTMENT AND APPROVAL OF A SAFETY POLICY:
Lary Ray, the safety director, said his department would need an additional $4,600 through June
30, 2000, in order to have an effective safety program. When asked how much he predicted his total
budget would be in 2000-01, Ray said he did not know. He said, however, his budget would
probably increase. The $4,600 would be taken from the county's contingency fund.
In reference to the safety policy, Ray said prevention would be the key factor. He said it was
important that "near misses" were reported.

REQUEST FORAPPROVAL OF MUNICIPAL ENGINEERING'S PROPOSAL FOR
LANDFILL EXPANSION AND APPROVAL OF BUDGET AMENDMENT # 19: Solid Waste
Director Ron Weatherman said four firms were selected to offer engineering proposals for work
associated with the site suitability and permitting for a new landfill cell. County Manager
Mashburn said $210,000 had been budgeted this year for the expansion project. Since the lowest
proposal, submitted by Municipal Engineering, was in the amount of $398,400, Mashburn suggested
that a budget amendment be approved in the amount of $188,400. Weatherman said Municipal
Engineering was familiar with the landfill operation and the newly acquired 66 acres that would be
used for expansion. The following is a timetable shared by the manager for the project.
