Supervisor Baldwin motioned to withdraw the condemnation procedure pending.
Chairman Latham said the landfill issue was not a new problem, but one he’d been living with for 13 yean. “(We’ve) invited people to assist Maybe this has stirred enough interest to get people involved,” he said.
Supervisor Charles “Pete” Estes said he thought the Board should discuss the matter in executive session with the commonwealth’s attorney to see where the Board stood before making a decision.
Supervisor Baldwin refraised his motion, calling for the supervisors to declare a 90-day moratorium. “We’ve got an awflil lot of people that are willing to help,” he said.
Supervisor Estes and Chairman Latham both said that no quick decision would be made that day. Chairman Latham said no condemnation suit had been filed. He added that the Board would have to hire its own engineers and consultants regardless cf where the landfill was to be located. “I’m not in favor of eliminating any possible site at this point,” Chairman Latham said. “You haven’t come forth with alternate sites,” he added.
Attorney Reynolds later proposed an alternate site, but did not pinpoint its location. He compared this site to the one already proposed for the landfill.
He said the cost per acre was $1,000, and the supervisors could purchase from 44 to 100 acres. The property was 3/4 mile from Route 211 and the supervisors would need to establish right of way and build a 3/4 mile road.
