File 3 of this meeting continues the discussion from Monday over projected expenses for new building projects at the landfill. This time all three commissioners were party to the discussion. Commissioner Robertson continued her objections on the high cost vs. need with residents still paying landfill assessments. Commissioner Day continued to appear in a more give them what they want mode and Commissioner Wesler fell in the middle but closer to Commissioner Robertson. Guest Rodney Creech offered his view that a steel building that would do the job could probably be built for under $250,000. He is having a huge 60×120 steel building with 18 ft. ceiling built for his business and was against the landfill projects cost.
