County Council highlights from August 12

Landfill and Transfer Station discussions

County Council approved having the West County Regional Landfill continue to operate as a transfer station. This has been happening since December 2023, when the landfill changed its operations temporarily due to lower-than-expected cell capacity. A cell is a single waste storage unit within the entire landfill.

The landfill will continue with operating as they have over the past nine months with temporary capping of the existing cell due to limited capacity, while the County investigates a long-term solution for the issue.

Council also approved the decision to reallocate just shy of $100,000 from the Clairmont Regional Landfill Call 4 Construction project to a Tarp Shed Replacement project at the Clairmont Landfill to cover additional costs.

Reallocation of funds

$62,500 of $169,625 towards Nitehawk Year-Round Adventure Park will be reallocated towards the site’s 2023/24 operational deficit instead of 2024 capital funding.
$225,000 is being reallocated from budget to address “outstanding and emergent repairs necessary to maintain County water and sewer systems.”

Council approved getting three new replacement all-terrain vehicles. There will be two replaced quads with two six-wheeled all-terrain vehicles at $38,600 altogether, and replacing one quad for $12,000.
