MEETING OF JUNE 16, 1994
PRESENT: George Luteri, Harold Rentschler, Ken Westlake and Mary Winkler
Lisa Angell - Public Works
ABSENT: Dick Bachhuber, Bill Donovan, Elizabeth Herbert, Holly Johnson and Rod Mobus.
There were not enough Commission members present at the June 16, meeting to have a quorum.
The following is a summary of the informal discussion that occurred on the 16th.
The Solid Waste Coordinator distributed copies of the final draft of the residential solid waste
brochure that was given to ARC Disposal for printing. ARC is to submit a sample of the brochure
h7om the printer for final approval by Public Works. At that time the correct address for the Jewel
in Arlington Heights will be inserted.
There was a question regarding the price for aluminum being paid to the Village by ARC
Disposal. The Coordinator explained that when ARC went to a commingled payment system the
Village no longer received a separate dollar amount for each commodity; the Village receives a
per ton rate for all commodities. However, according to the terms of the existing contract the
Village was able to have ARC agree to a 75% (Village), 25% (ARC) split to help offset any loss
in the revenue the Village would incur.
The Coordinator also informed the Commission of ARC's letter regarding the collection of scrap
metal. Although ARC is unable to provide collection of scrap metal at this time, it is their intent
to work with the Commission and the Coordinator in evaluating markets and an effective
collection method.
The remainder of the meeting focused on the 4th of July float. It was agreed the float should
highlight the expanded recycling program and the recyclables currently collected. The float will
be constructed by Public Works staff. The Commission also requested flyers be available for
distribution during the parade.
Vice Chair Luteri stated he had inspected the SWANCC transfer station earlier in the week and
the facility was clean. Chairman Westlake stated the Army Corps of Engineers should make its
ruling on the balefill project by mid-July:
The Commission agreed there were no pertinent items for discussion in July so the meeting was
canceled. The next Commission meeting will be held Thursday, August 18,730 PM in the
Public Works Facility.
There being no further discussion the meeting closed at 9:00 PM.
