1. Haswell Landfill: There was lengthy discussion over the Haswell landfill. The commissioners all agree that this is frustrating to the small counties that are being forced to close their landfills due to state regulations. Adamson had spoken with Joe Peterick, Environmental Protection Specialist for the State and he reported that the citizens of Haswell will be able to use the current open cell until the official notice of closure is handed to the Commissioners.

It is projected that the Eads landfill has the capability of being open for 10 more years.

5. Extension Office Furniture: Scott moved and McLoud seconded the motion to authorize a purchase of a chair for the extension office. Motion carried. The amount of the chair will be $129.00.
