Landfill hours discussed At the Mid -Huron Landfill Site (MHLS) Board's August meeting, Tuckersmith Reeve Bill Carnochan inquired about the possibility of changing hours of operation at the site and reviewing the staffing requirements due to the decrease in volume of waste being landfilled at the MHLS. Landfill employees were invited to the September 15 board meeting for a discussion on operation requirements. (Bill Carnochan of Tuckersmith was not present at the meeting). Site Supervisor Frank Postill told the board the landfill staff was concerned about the possible revision of hours at the site. "I think it's caused quite a bit of con- cern to the men, if we go to 40 hours (per week) from 44," said Postill. He said the men would be agreeable to an altered schedule, "As long as they don't take home less money." The supervisor said landfill staff is quite a bit below the Town of Goderich hourly rate by comparison. "These men are doing a good job and should be given a fair wage." Board members asked about the possibility of cutting back the hours the landfill site was open to the public to enable the staff to catch up on grounds and equipment main- tenance. Postill told the board that Fridays were averaging lower vol- ume than other days. "Is there room. to cut back another half hour (that the site is open)?," asked Lynda Rotteau of the Town of Goderich. "Don't cut back too much or we'll have garbage on the roadsides," said MHLS Board Chair Grant Stirling of Goderich Town- ship. "1 don't think we can do it with any less help," said Stirling. Board members commented that extra work had been getting done at the site. The board recognized that hours for part-time help at the site had been decreased significantly from last year. Site Supervisor Postill estimated a savings of• $6-7,000 in part-time wages over last year. Ken Hunter, Commissioner of Works for Goderich, felt that as long as the landfill site's tipping fee remained at $35 per tonne operations could maintain their current level of qual- ity.
