FROM 02/21/96): Trevor Jiricek, Health Department, summarized the history of
this case and updated the Board, referring to his memo dated February 21,
1997. He recommended a continuance of one or two years to allow the two
primary companies who are implementing cleanup in response to the EPA
Order time to complete the job. He also noted it may take five or six years to
complete the cleanup. Responding to questions from Commissioner Kirkmeyer,
Lee Morrison, Assistant County Attorney, stated it would be better to have the
site cleaned up than to revoke the permit. Mr. Morrison further stated by leaving
Minutes, February 26, 1997 970347
Page 5 BC0016
the permit "in limbo" until cleanup is completed, the permit could be amended
at a future date to allow a change in use rather than having to complete a new
application. He emphasized the most important thing for the County is to ensure
the cleanup is complete. Responding to Chair Baxter, Mr. Barker stated the
record should note the respondents are not present; however, public testimony
may be allowed. Commissioner Hall moved to continue the Probable Cause for
SUP #454 to February 25, 1998, without allowing public testimony, since a
recent decision by the Board at another hearing did not allow it. The motion was
seconded by Commissioner Kirkmeyer, and carried unanimously.

There were no ordinances.
Let the minutes reflect that the above and foregoing actions were attested to
