divided into three categories; short term, intermediate, and long term.
After hearing the proposed plan, M. Conduff asked the Board what was BVSWMA's history
with CDM and what route the Board was taking with them. It was explained by J. LaBeau

brought in. R. Ragland added that the cities were far ahead in planning for the area because
their leadership roles. M. Conduff asked that CDM provide him with financial projections for
the long range plan. A discussion ensued as to whether BVSWMA should be headed into the

finances, etc.
