OLD BUSINESS - none NEW BUSINESS Commissioner Phil Kulbes suggested that members of CALNO consider a joint waste recovery system and he said his visits to the McKay Bay Refuse Center has been very enlightening. Commissioner Kulbes said representatives of the firm would attend a CALNO meeting and brief the members if desired. Commissioner Kirchhoff said members of the Board of County Commissioners had visited the plan and he said the low costs of the earlier recovery plants had been due to lack of controls and he said present plants are much more expensive and complicated. Commissioner Kirchhoff said the County had 1,000 acres in land fill and he did not foresee a critical problem in the future. Commissioner Kirchhoff said location of the plant would be a key consideration due to its impact on transportation. Commissioner Kirchhoff said that Seminole County was required to consider various resource recovery systems and he said to date no system was economically feasible. Com- missioner Kirchhoff suggested that CALNO members look at the Tampa plant. Mayor Fess suggested that Commissioner Kulbes arrange to have a person from McKay Bay Refuse at the next meeting on March 4, 1987.
