District Roll Call
Chairman Tim Smith called the meeting to order at 10:00 a.m. Roll was called, there was a quorum.

Approval of October Agenda
A motion to approve the October Agenda was made by Mr. Ray Beck and seconded by Mr. Bob Wagner. The motion carried.

Approval of August Meeting Summary
A motion to approve the August Summary was made by Mr. Kevin O’Brien and seconded by Mr. Harland Mieser. The motion carried.

Director’s Report
Due to the rescheduling of the meeting, a tour was not scheduled for the Lewis and Clark State Office Building. The Board requested a tour be scheduled at an upcoming meeting.

Mr. Jim Hull updated the board on the department reorganization. He explained the new Regional Ombudsman Community Assistance Office and Field Services Division as well as the merging of the Water Protection and Air and Land Divisions into the Division of Environmental Quality. He noted that all ombudsman positions were filled except for the Kansas City region. Information on the Ombudsman will be sent to the districts when it is available.

The State Solid Waste Management Plan is considered a finished plan. This information is being forwarded to the Directors Office. The plan will be posted on the SWMP Web page. Copies will be mailed to the districts when available.

SB 225 continues to be implemented. The program has permission to fill all vacancies that were being held due to the reorganization of the Divisions. Reinstatement of the tire fee took effect Oct. 1, 2005. Funds will not be coming in until after the first quarter, probably around the first of the year. Some staff will be switching from solid waste to work in the tire unit. DNR is implementing the lapse provision of Senate Bill 225 this year. The districts share of the lapsing funds will be used to make up for the previous over allocation of district grants that occurred last year implementing Senate Bill 1040.

Letters were sent out informing facilities that the tonnage fee will remain the same as last year.

A Scrap Tire Advisory Group meeting was held Sept. 29, 2005. The group was brought together to discuss the reinstatement of the tire program and to assist in necessary rule revisions.

The program is waiting on a report from the Auditors Office before beginning changes to the District Grant Rule. The workgroup meeting will be scheduled around the SWAB meetings in November or January. A request was made for an auditor to be available for the workgroup meeting.

Assessment Inventories and Quarterly Reports must be submitted in order to receive district grant funds. Some districts are not in compliance.

A request was made for the board to formally invite a Wal-Mart representative to give a presentation on their pilot e-waste recycling program. The program was asked to draft a letter for Chairman Smith’s signature.

New Business
No Planners meeting was held prior to the SWAB meeting. Planners expressed concern about a proposed bylaws change to SWAB meetings, which reduced the number of meetings held to six per year. Planners were encouraged to meet more often.

Old Business
Mr. Bob Wagner provided additional copies of the proposed bylaws changes presented during the August meeting. A motion to adopt the revisions to the bylaws was made by Mr. Wagner and seconded by Mr. Harry Rogers. Mr. Derrick Standley voiced opposition to Article 5, Section 1, which removes the requirement for an alternate member to be a member of the executive board. Ms. Mary West abstained from voting since this is her first meeting.
Mr. Standley voted no. All others voted in favor of the changes. The motion carried.

Other Business
Mr. Eric Sappington from the Environmental Services Program updated the board on the Safe Schools Initiative. An educational CD was put together to help schools with their lab chemicals. The number to call for emergency spills is 573-634-2436.

Ms. Kathy Flippin from the Hazardous Waste Program provided information to the board on household hazardous waste collections and conditionally exempt small quantity generators. Districts planning a school cleanup or other household hazardous waste collections are asked to contact the Hazardous Waste Program first. The contact number is 573-751-7560.

A request was made that the planners make a short report available to the board on what is going on in their district. This could be in the form of bullet point.
