1. District Roll Call
Chairman Tim Smith opened the meeting with roll call. A quorum was present.

2. Approval of April Agenda
Mr. Bob O'Keefe moved to approve the agenda. Mr. Gary Hoette seconded the motion. All approved.

3. Approval of March 2, 2005 Meeting Summary
Mr. Larry VanGilder requested the table headings on Page 4 be corrected to read the same as the table heading on Page 3. Mr. Gary Hoette moved to approve the summary. Mr. Harry Rogers seconded the motion. All members voted to approve as amended.

4. Director's Report
A. Legislative Update
Mr. Jim Hull updated the board on the status of legislation. HCS SS#2 SCS SB225 has the greatest chance of passing before the end of session, Friday, May 13, 2005.

Major points of the bill are:
? Projected income of $11.3 million
? $800,000 to EIERA
? $200,000 to make each district whole as compared to SB530 allocation
? remainder split 39% to DNR 61% to districts based on 40/60 (population/tonnage)
? CPI Cap for 5 years
? $95,000 is the minimum per district

HCS SB 192 restores the tire program. It is the same as the previous tire bill but gives the Director discretion to spend unencumbered funds on environmental emergencies and gives preference to Missouri Companies. Since there is no staff, it will take a while to get the tire program up and running again.

HB 660 is still alive but is not as far along in the process as the other bills.

Chairman Smith urged members of the Board to talk to their legislators and encourage them to move the legislation along.

B. Citizen Members of SWAB
There are still four citizen member vacancies open on the Board. Two recommendations have been sent to the Director's office: one to fill a public position and one for industry.

C. District Grants Streamlining Process
Mr. Pat Muck provided a summary of the April 20 workgroup meeting. The group met to discuss streamlining the grant application process and ways to ensure accountability. Nine of the twenty districts were represented at the workgroup meeting. Four written comments were received. Staff from the Department's Air and Land Protection Division and Division of Administrative Support also attended the meeting.

An open cycle process was recommended. Districts may apply at any time throughout the year, as funds are available. Annual agreements with no specific dollar amount would be used. Funds could be requested according to the latest quarterly amounts available. Districts will be able to do multiple grant calls; however, one financial assistance agreement would cover the entire fiscal year. Moreover, the amount of application materials will be reduced. Districts submit full project proposals now, but the recommendation is to only submit summaries to the Department. The program will provide training on this new procedure before the next SWAB meeting. An additional workgroup meeting is scheduled for May 16, 2005 to discuss quarterly and annual reporting requirements, and a training session will be held June 1, 2005.

5. New Business
A. Planners' Report
No Planners' meeting was held prior to the May SWAB Meeting. Mr. Rogers reported that the June Planners' meeting would begin at 10:30 to allow time for the grant workshop.

Mr. Robert Wagner reported District L was being audited by the State Auditors Office.

Ms. Kristin Allen reminded everyone that the Missouri Waste Control Coalition (MWCC) meeting is scheduled for June 26-28, 2005, at the Lodge of Four Seasons, Lake Ozark, MO.

6. Old Business
None

7. Other Business
A. Nomination for Officers (Chairman and Vice-Chairman)
Mr. Ray Beck has withdrawn his name as a nominee for SWAB Vice-Chair. Chairman Smith asked for nominations to be considered and submitted up until the June meeting.

B. Project Grants
Mr. Pat Muck provided a hand out on Project Grants.
