ITEM:
.A. Ordinance Number 03-10153, amending Chapter 34, Article V, Sections 34-92,34-93 and 34-
96 of the Salina Code pertaining to Salina/Saline County Solid Waste Management
Committee and repealing existing Sections 34-92, 34-93 and 34-96, pertaining to Solid Waste
Committee membership, terms of office, and quorum.
B. Resolution Number 03-5953 authorizing a First Amendment to the Solid Waste Management
Interlocal Agreement.
BACKGROUND:
These recommended changes to the Salina/Saline Solid Waste Management Committee are to
bring our committee membership in line with current State statutes concerning membership on the
committee, to provide expanded service time to interested citizens, and to provide more flexibility in
conducting committee business.
The first proposed revision would be to restructure the committee membership in accordance with
current State statutes. These statute changes were first brought to our attention in a letter from the
Kansas Department of Health and Environment this last January. Although we are proposing to
follow the structure established by the State, those membership seats eliminated by the initial
change will be reassigned to "At Large" positions, which are allowed under the current State
membership design. This adjustment will keep our committee membership at thirteen (13)
members. A chart has been provided to illustrate the change from our current structure to the new
structure.
In addition, with these changes to the membership structure, we will allow all committee members
the ability to start over their service time as of September 1, 2003. A term of office will remain three
(3) years. However, for some members on the committee, their first term will be for four (4) years in
order to spread out the expiration dates.
The second change is that Solid Waste Management Committee members will by allowed to serve
three (3) consecutive terms, rather then the two (2) consecutive terms that are allowed at this time.
This change is to complement the long range planning that this group performs, and to allow
interested members more time to serve the community. As is currently the case, once a member
has completed their term limit, they can serve again after waiting one year.
The third and last change is to revise how we establish the committee quorum. At this time the City
Code states under Quorum, "Seven (7) members of the committee shall constitute a quorum for the
purpose of conducting the committee's business." This would be revised to allow committee
business to be conducted with a simple majority of those persons on the committee at that time.
This will allow us to conduct business when we have some positions vacant and several members
are not in attendance.
