Angie Gehlert extended an invitation to the MORA conference.

Ms. Gehlert met with EPA staff and received verbal notification that the Missouri Recycling Information Campaign preliminary application was accepted. A final grant application will be submitted with an expected start date in September if approved. If applications are made to Solid Waste Management Districts, they must be applied for through the competitive process. The board asked the program to investigate the possibility of education funds from districts being used to contract service with MORA.

Middle School Solid Waste Survey – Methodology and Results
Mr. Jim Lubbers presented information to the board about the status of Solid Waste Education in middle and junior high schools across Missouri.

Director’s Report

a. State Auditor’s Report – Progress Update
Mr. Jim Hull updated the board on the progress of the audit recommendations. Staff are still working with two of the four districts audited to resolve the findings and recommendations of the audit. The department must provide a progress report to the auditor’s office of the status by August 15, 2006.

b. District Grant Rule Revision Workgroup
A stakeholder group was formed to discuss and provide input regarding the rule revisions. The work group met March 13, April 4, and May 2. Staff will review comments from the workgroup meetings and will begin revising the current rule to reflect changes required by SB225 and recommendations of the audit findings. The rule should assure that public funds are spent appropriately and are accomplishing the intended purpose of the funds.

Workgroup members and SWAB members will receive a copy of the draft rule before it is published. This rule does not require a regulatory impact report. After the rule is submitted for publication to the Secretary of State (SOS) and Joint Committee on Administrative Rules (JCAR), a public hearing will be held. When the public comment period ends the department has 90 days to submit the final order of rulemaking. The rule must be submitted to JCAR 30 days prior to filing with Secretary of State. The program hopes to have the final rule in effect by next spring.

c. Site Suitability Rule
The comment period is over for the regulatory impact report on DGLS’s rule pertaining to site suitability. DGLS is now reviewing the documents received to determine if changes need to be made to the proposed rule before submitting to JCAR and SOS.

d. Scrap Tire Rule
The regulatory impact report is being drafted. When it is completed it will be made available for 60 days for public comment.

e. E-Waste Stakeholder discussion
Mr. Dennis Hansen updated the board on the stakeholder meeting. There were more breakout sessions pertaining to recyclers, processing, and transportation. This information is posted on the web-site. The next scheduled meeting is June 14, 2006.

New Business
Ms. Lisa Danbury asked about the request for proposal to do a waste composition study.
Ms. Danbury noted that there could be more vendors that wanted to present proposals than were on Missouri’s vendor list. If the districts had been made aware they could have helped get the word out and contribute towards the scope of the project. Mr. Dennis Hansen informed the board that four proposals had been received out of approximately 25 vendor names submitted. SWMP staff are reviewing the proposals before sending to the Office of Administration for final approval. Once a contract is let, the vendor has two years to complete the study.

Old Business
None

Other Business

Upcoming Board Meetings
The board discussed moving the July meeting to late July or early August so the board can review the proposed district grant rule revision. Ms. Danbury moved to reschedule the July meeting for August 2, 2006. Mr. Scott Murrell seconded the motion and the motion carried.
