Agenda Request
To: Board of Commissioners
Philip Morley, County Administrator
From: Monte Reinders, Public Works Director
Agenda Date: September 12, 2016
Subject: Request for Solid Waste Advisory Committee Appointment
Statement of Issue:
Public Works has received two letters of interest, attached for appointments on the
Solid Waste Advisory Committee: 1)Robin Merrell for the Alternate Member
representing Jefferson County's recycle services contractor, Skookum Contract
Services, and 2)Chris Giraldes representing Waste Connections companies that provide
State -franchise and contracted trash and recyclables collection service to residents
and businesses in Eastern Jefferson County. Both of these appointment requests
reflect staff changes whereby former SWAC members Matt Hall and Kent Kovalenko
are no longer employed by the respective companies.
Analysis/Strategic Goals/Pro's and Con's:
Both Skookum Contract Services and local Waste Connections companies (Murrey's
Olympic Disposal and DM Disposal) serve functions that are critical to the collection
and routing of trash and recyclables from Jefferson County to sanitary disposal and
secondary markets. It is important that these companies are both informed of local
solid waste issues and have the ability to provide input as the SWAC considers any
program changes. The Solid Waste Manager has provided an introduction to SWAC
activities and responsibilities to both of the potential appointees.
