Supervisor Torlakson advised that he supports the basic plan but has trouble with most of the sites except for the Marsh Canyon site. He commented that he believed that landfills must be kept away from cities and homes, and that he would not be supporting the motion to approve the staff ' s recommendation, because he could not support four out of the five sites. Supervisor McPeak advised that she would vote in support, but that she was vehemently opposed to the Kirker Pass site. Supervisor Fanden advised that although she did not favor all of the sites, it is imperative that the Board proceed and go forward in moving the CoSWMP along to the Cities for approval. The Board thereupon adopted Resolution No. 89/544 .
