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

Mr. Kevin O'Brien, Waste Corporation of Missouri and Ms. Rachel Burkemper, new citizen members to the Solid Waste Board were introduced and welcomed to the board. Mr. Hull indicated that there are still two vacancies to fill and asked for recommendations to fill these positions. One of the vacancies will be held until legislation signed and effect which may require one member to be from the composting or recycling industry.

2. Approval of June Agenda
Mr. Bob Wagner moved to approve the agenda. Mr. Lance Hutton seconded the motion. All approved.

3. Approval of May 4, 2005 Meeting Summary
Mr. Derrick Standley moved to approve the summary. Mr. Harry Rogers seconded the motion. All approved.

4. Director's Report
A. Legislative Update
Mr. Hull updated the board on SB 225. The bill passed and if the Governor signs the bill it will become effective August 28. One part of the bill reinstates the tire fee. Collection of the fee will start October 1. It has a sunset date of 2010. Gearing up the tire program will be phased in due to the lag in revenue coming in from the fee.

The remaining part of the bill pertaining to the solid waste program is the distribution of the tonnage fee. Mr. Muck provided a handout giving the best estimates of how much revenue would be distributed to each district for grants and operations. The estimate was for planning purposes only - allocations will be based on actual revenues received.

The staffing plan and budget for the next fiscal year are being reviewed so the program stays within the funds available. At this time there are enough vacancies within the program to absorb the majority of staff reductions.

Mr. Hull reminded the board that there were changes in Senate Bill 225 that will require the changes to the district grant rules. There will be rulemaking coming up that will require workgroup input.

B. District Grant Process
Changes have already been made to the district grant process. The process has been streamlined so funds are available for projects quicker and to assure accountability in the reporting requirements.

A copy of estimated District Allocations estimated for FY06 was provided. (Copy attached) Districts will receive information quarterly on the amount of money that is available to them.

5. New Business
A. Planners' Report
The planners meeting began 30 minutes early in order to cover the documentation that will be turned in and reported on in the coming years.

Mr. Rogers asked for suggestions for programs to be presented to the board during future meeting and specifically requested someone from MORA give a report on what is going on in their association. He added that Derrick Standley offered a tour of a facility in
St. Louis.

B. Glass Recycling
Carrie Ray, Regional Supply Manager, Strategic Materials, Inc., provided information on glass recycling. The board discussed the various issues involved in glass recycling and transport. (Copies attached)

6. Old Business
None

7. Other Business

Mr. Wagner, Region L, reported that the state auditors had completed their audit of the district. The audit went well and the auditors stayed an extra day to do site visits.

B. Nomination for Officers (Chairman and Vice-Chairman)
Mr. Harry Rogers nominated and moved to elect Mr. Wagner as Vice-Chairman.
Mr. Drex Rothweiler seconded and all approved. Mr. Van Gilder moved to re-elect
Mr. Tim Smith as Chair. Mr. Standley seconded and all approved.

C. By-Laws Committee

Chairman Smith asked the committee to look at the number of meetings held per year.
