B. WDM ARCHITECTS: Structural Analysis – Additional Expenses:
-In December, 2017, the Commission authorized WDM Architects to perform a structural analysis of the Barton County Courthouse, cost estimated at $24,300.00. As the final billing has been submitted, the project includes another $532.75 in copy, plot and travel expenditures. Phil Hathcock, County Administrator, will request that the Commission approve payment of the expenditure through Finance General.
C. SOLID WASTE: Local Recycling Grant:
-In the 2018 Operating Budget, the Commission allocated $15,000.00 under Solid Waste for recycling with an understanding that applications would be accepted locally for the monies. Eligible are any County department, agency, organization, recycling center, city, school district or community college located in Barton County. The application would need to demonstrate a positive
economic and environmental impact in the County, be consistent with the Barton County Solid Waste Management Plan, benefit the County and its residents and increase recycling. Sunflower Diversified Services submitted the only application. Mr. Hathcock will provide details.
D. SOLID WASTE: Replacement of the Household Hazardous Waste Building:
-The Landfill currently has a building on-site that was constructed to house household hazardous waste (HHW) and other recycling operations.
