Motion adopted unanimously.
13.
Discuss bulk waste pickup. (Requested by Commissioner Williams)
Mr. Williams expressed his concern for the need of an open bed truck to allow
the garbage haulers to collect large, bulky items for removal and disposal. Ms. Smith
noted that they had recently spoken to the haulers about the placement of large items into
the compactors when this type of material is supposed to be gathered separately from the
household waste. She also stated that state law places some restrictions on the type of
vehicle that can be used, but that the haulers are not prohibited from using an open
bodied truck as long as it meets the state requirements. She noted that they are supposed
to come back with a proposed solution for getting the bulky waste picked up in a timely
manner.
After further discussion, Mr. Colclough: I move we receive this as information.
Mr. Boyles: Second.
Motion adopted unanimously.
14. Report on traffic calming issues. (Requested by Commissioner Cheek)
I
Mr. Cheek: There are adjustable speed bumps set up at Cedarwood Apartments.
At gate 6 at the Augusta National they have wide crosswalks with a rise on them. I
brought this up because there are some places where some type of speed control device is
needed and I wondered if we were planning on designating a couple of target areas for
something of this nature.
Ms. Smith: We hope to eventually get some type of pilot program in place for
something like this and will work toward that when we are able to hire a new Traffic
Engineer.
After further discussion, Mr. Boyles: I move we receive this as information.
Mr. Mays: Second.
Motion adopted unanimously.
ADJOURNMENT: There being no further business, the meeting was adjourned.
