Schuder, Director, Department of Public Works for Seminole County, reviewed the report submitted by the Solid Waste Committee. In the plan submitted to the state and approved in July 1979, was the provision to have a review every two years. The committee met in the fall, and this report covers the major revisions and recommendations which are submitted to this board for their approval. Mr. Schuder stated the major thrust of this plan was for a heat-energy recovery system in con- junction with the regional sewage treatment plant. He stated this is still a val id goal in the county when it is economically feasible. There was discussion on the present land fill system. Mr. Schuder reported the other recommendations deal ing with mandatory collection, franchised areas, and source separation of materials had not progressed very far; however, these items would have to be resolved as you get into a resource recovery program. The committee recommended that through interlocal agreements a Seminole County solid waste management group be established. This group would primarily be a public awareness group keeping the citizens informed of this long range problem. Motion made by Commissioner Constantine to accept the recommendations of this particular document with the inclusion that the Solid Waste Advisory Committee membership be the public works director or a ranking individual in the publ ic works department of each of the municipal ities and the county, seconded by Mayor Whittier.
