cost is $87,000. Blumenstein, the finance director, said the purchase would be a legitimate
expenditure from the white goods fund.
Weatherman commented that his staff had retrieved 275 tires from the old city landfill site
off Signal Hill and Simonton Road. The tires recently surfaced due to the NCDOT clearing off
land for a bridge realignment. Later, the Department of Transportation decided to abandon the
project. The area was covered with grass seed, but the tires were still evident. Weatherman said
his office began receiving complaint calls, so he dispatched some of his employees to collect the
tires. Chairman Haire and Commissioner Fortner thanked Weatherman for taking the initiative
to properly dispose of the tires.
A discussion was then held on the corrugated cardboard ban. Weatherman shared a pamphlet
that will be sent to all of the solid waste accounts. The county recycling coordinator also plans to
create a pamphlet for school children.
