District Roll Call
Chairman Tim Smith called the meeting to order at 1:00 p.m. Roll was called, there was a quorum.
Approval of November Agenda
A motion to approve the November Agenda was made by Mr. Scott Murrell
and seconded by Mr. Gary Hoette. The motion carried.
Approval of October Meeting Summary
An additional explanation was requested for Page 2, paragraph 5, which read, 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.
Mr. Pat Muck explained that when allocations were given out last year, it was for revenue that was collected the previous fiscal year July through June. That period was under Senate Bill 530, where the districts were getting 50 percent plus $400,000 for district administration, which is approximately $5.4 million. Allocations were made based on Senate Bill 1040 because it was felt that the sponsors of the bill wanted to implement those allocations during last year. In order to do that, the allocations added up to $5.9 million. More revenue was allocated than what was due to the districts from the previous 12 months. There is a provision in Senate Bill 225 that the amount (or balance) that the department has at the end of a fiscal year that is above one quarter’s worth of expenditures lapses. It is then divided up between the districts and the department using the 61/39 percent. Lapse provisions of Senate Bill 225 become effective at the end of the fiscal year, next June. The director wanted to implement those provisions early and by doing so we can balance the books. The lapsing of funds make up the over allocation done last year.
A motion to approve the October Summary was made by Mr. Ray Beck and
seconded by
Mr. Scott Murrell. The motion carried.
Statewide Recycling Information Campaign
The program and U.S. EPA met previously to discuss the National Resource Conservation Challenge. U.S. EPA is encouraging states to attain a 35 percent diversion goal on Municipal Solid Waste. Missouri’s current diversion rate is above 35 percent. The program discussed with U.S. EPA what Missouri has done to reduce waste and increase recycling and suggested that U.S. EPA meet with the districts in order to get a better overall picture.
A meeting was scheduled in Columbia on Oct. 27, 2005, that included staff from U.S. EPA, Solid Waste Management Program and some Solid Waste District staff to talk about what type of information to present. Sub workgroups will be formed to discuss; 1) what information is wanted to be shared, 2) who the target should be, and 3) how should the information be presented. U.S. EPA is going to work with the people who volunteered for the workgroups by conference calls or meetings. About half of the districts were not represented at the meeting so there is some concern that the whole story will not be reflected. Mr. Muck asked that districts that have not participated to please let him know who a contact would be for their district. This is still a work in progress.
Status of Rulemaking
The Division of Geology and Land Survey (DGLS) is in the early stages of developing revisions to the rule regarding the siting of landfills. A workgroup meeting is scheduled for Nov. 8, 2005, 1:00 p.m. at the DGLS office in Rolla.
A stakeholder workgroup on revisions to the scrap tire rules is scheduled for Nov. 9, 2005, 1:00 p.m. at the Elm Street Conference Center, Route 66 room. Wording changes are needed to change waste tire to scrap tire as well as Missouri vendor preference changes and requiring matches on playground grants.
The program is still waiting to schedule a stakeholder meeting on district grant rules until the State Auditor’s report is received. Mr. Muck stated that, so far, six district planners have volunteered to be on the stakeholder group. Mr. Muck asked that anyone from industry or SWAB public members interested in participating in the workgroup meetings let the program know.
First Quarter District Grant Allocations
Mr. Muck provided a copy of the Fiscal Year ’06 District Allocation of FY 06 Revenue. (Contact the SWMP’s Planning Sections for additional copies) Due to a recommendation from a workgroup made up of district and department staff, the program has gone to an open grant cycle. Funds are now allocated on a quarterly basis. These funds are for the first quarter; revenue received July 1 through September 30. There are two types of revenue allocations in the law: 1) allocation of daily revenue among district, department and EIERA pots and 2) allocation of district pot among 20 districts. The department follows the statutory requirements in effect when an action is taken. For the first type of allocation, revenue received July 1 through August 27 was allocated under Senate Bill 1040. Revenue received on or after August 28 was allocated under Senate Bill 225. For the second type of allocation (allocate district pot among the 20 districts), the first quarter allocation is now being made and follows Senate Bill 225. The first quarter district grant allocation letters were mailed to districts the first week of November.
State Solid Waste Plan
The State Solid Waste Plan should be available on the web shortly. Please contact the program if you would like a hard copy of the plan. The districts will be notified when it is available on the Internet.
New Business
No Advisory Board meeting is scheduled for December, but the Planners
will meet at 11:00 on Dec. 7, 2005.
Old Business
Ms. Tami Snodgrass reported that the planners discussed changes in district grant forms and reporting with the Solid Waste Planning staff. Mr. Jim Lubbers of the Field Services Division presented information to the planners about a survey of educators statewide. The planners will further develop the survey during their December meeting.
