AGENDA ITEM 1: Mayor McIlhaney called the meeting to order at 1:40 p.m. AGENDA ITEM 2: Board Comments. Mr. Conner made comment on different activities they are investigating relating to compost materials available from the compost facility in Bryan. He wanted the Board to know they would be speaking to Bill about options available relating to this subject. Mayor McIlhaney mentioned she was not able to talk with Judge Jones about the illegal dumping situation. She was able to talk with the Health Department and they sent her a memo talking about the site. They also called TNRCC to explain to them that they felt TNRCC should be part of that process. Apparently TNRCC told them that it is the Health Department's responsibility to deal with. The Health Department is willing to have a meeting with all people involved as well as have a representative from TNRCC at the meeting. A short discussion followed Mayor McIlhaney's comments. No action was necessary on this item. AGENDA ITEM 3: Director's Report Mr. Angelo handed out updated tonnage reports. Mr. Angelo also gave a report on the possibility of BVSWMA gaining the business of the City of Huntsville. He discussed the current proposal as well as how the business would affect the life span of the landfill. Mr. Angelo also gave a report on the TNRCC inspection. It appeared we had no violations. AGENDA ITEM 4: EXECUTIVE SESSION "As Chairman, I hereby advise you that we are going into Executive Session, pursuant to section 551.072 of the Open Meetings Act, to consider the purchase or exchange of real property and to consider staff and legal reports."
