03/23/2009: "Town To Council On Dump Site: Your Choice To Make"

The County Council will take a tour on Monday (3-23-09) of three of the potential sites for a new San Juan Island transfer station, and will also stop off for a site visit of Consignment Treasures and the SJI Thrift house (Tour will begin at the Thrift House at 1:00 p.m.).

The County Council will not be accompanied by the Friday Harbor Town Council, who own the Sutton Road site. The SJC Council had asked the Town to join in the process of selecting a site, but citing possible conflict of interest and appearance of fairness issues, the Town has declined the offer. The Town leases the current transfer station site to the County, and is also a “customer” at the dump.

The topic of a site selection is scheduled as a major topic when the County and Town Councils’ sit down together for one of their infrequent joint meetings on Tuesday (3-24-09).
