10:30 a.m.—10:45 a.m. Citizen Public Comment Period
Lyn Hunt, Linda Maletta, and Katy Johnsan, Desert Aire Homeowners Association, came in to
discuss the closing of the drop box in Desert Aire. She brought in a letter from the Homeowners
, Association and a petition from approximately 200 residents of the area requesting to keep the
� drop box open. They currently have a problem with littering in their area; without the drop box
it will be worse, The other option will be that people will have to go to the Ephrata Landfill to
dump garbage. She believes people will instead dump in the surrounding fields. She supports
an increase in dump fees to keep it open. She requests that the Board reconsider the closure of
' this drop box.
Commissioner Stevens stated these drop boxes were never meant to remain open forever. He
stated the entire County now has disposal service that can be used by the residents. The County
loses approximately$110,000.00 per year on all of the drop boxes.
She wants the area residents and the County to work this out. She would fike the County to
approach a third party to run the drop box. Commissioner Carter said they have proposed the
running of this drop box to the Desert Aire Homeowners Association. Commissioner Carter
stated Grant County is the only county in the state that still offers drop boxes.
Ms. Hunt will bring the option of leasing the drop box from the county, back to their
homeowners association. Commissioner Carter will get information from our Public Worl<s
department regarding the expenses related to the drop box and email them to her.
