fill “we would be getting trash from other counties also... We have enough of our own trash.”
Davis advised that the county had the “reached the point” of where they must make a decision on whether they favored the private ownership of the landfill.
“It looks to me as if the Updikes have to find a place either in Rappahannock or they’ll have to find another site” somewhere else,” Supervisor Wood stated.
“WHAT if he says he can’t live up to the contract?” Davis asked. “Then we can sue them,” Wood quickly replied.
Luke commented that the trash problems were not unique to just Rappahannock County. “All of the United States,” solid waste disposal is a big problem, he said, adding that “one day the county is either going to have to join with another jurisdiction or find a landfill of our own.”
Davis asked if the Supervisors wanted to support the use permit request of the Updikes being considered by the BZA. Wood, in whose district the property is located, said “no one wants it in my district.” Wood added that it was up to the Board of Zoning Appeals to decide on the use permit. “We shouldn’t be trying to tell them which way to decide.”
LUKE summarized the debate. “We are supporting the contract with Community Trash—how they decide to dispose of the trash is their problem.” The county should “stick to the contract until its shown they (Updikes) can’t fulfill it,” Luke concluded.
Davis claimed that the Board of Zoning Appeals at the October public hearing on the landfill permit had been trying to “dictate” to the Supervisors that the county should go to a public landfill. Davis tried to insist that the BZA was appointed by the Supervisors and thus should be serving the Supervisors.
