Holman discussed the application of the “Green Masters Program” to the County business loan program.  Holman stated he talked with Dave Thiel and Dave indicated that the program is a good one, but cannot be required by the loan program due to federal rules.  McClone recommended that the information of the program be provided to those who seek loans from the program.

Holman reviewed the PowerPoint that was presented at the first county-wide recycling planning meeting on March 20.  Holman stated the presentation included the Board’s Solid Waste/Recycling Mission Statement, County Solid Waste/Recycling program administrative structure, and background on the Solid Waste/Recycling programs history present and future.  Holman noted that at the next meeting scheduled for April 17, the planning process will involve review of the options to offset loss of State funding and other revenues.  The planning group will be asked to come up with options to address the future funding of the program.  Discussion followed on the options.
