building if the renovation was completed by February 16, 1993.
Later, Mr. Thornton realized he could not complete the project by
that date, but could do the roof and exterior; therefore, he
needed additional time to complete the electrical and plumbing
work. During a brief discussion, the Board of Directors agreed
to Mr. Lawson's recommendation that Mr. Thornton sign a new
affidavit which would give additional time to complete the
improvements.)

The deadline for closing the landfill is September 1, 1993 to
avoid any long term obligations for testing. The current City
landfill will be turned over to Pulaski County for a public
regional landfill as an alternative to the two private landfills.
There being no further business to be presented, the Board
of Directors adjourned at 7:12 o'clock P.M. to meet again in
regular session on Tuesday, December 15, 1992, at 6:00 o'clock
