Issue - meetings

To approve as a correct record the minutes of the Joint Waste Disposal Board held on 7 July 2011.

RESOLVED that the minutes of the meeting of the Board held on 7 July 2011 be approved as a correct record and signed by the Chairman subject to the addition of the following to minute 39:

4          An analysis be undertaken in order to gain a better understanding of the potential benefits and disadvantages within the partnership.”

It was agreed that Councillor McCracken and the Project Director would meet to agree what was required and how best to progress the work.

Arising on the minutes, the officers also answered a number of questions from the Board on progress since the last meeting on issues which would not otherwise be considered during the meeting.  The main points made were that:

·                     The contractor was proposing to make changes to the MRF themselves to increase performance.

·                     Officers would approach the Contractor with a request for a proposal in relation to tetrapaks.

·                     There had been no progress since the last meeting on savings proposals.

·                     A date for a further session to follow-up the actions proposed at the waste management workshops held late in 2010 would be arranged shortly.
