DAVIS COUNTYS Solid Waste Management Project Board which is comprised of city mayors, or city managers, and a representative from the county commission unanimously decided to send "Request for Performance" applications to firms that might be interested in building and operating a resource recovery plant in the county. Board members agreed that they should know more about potential plant operators before continuing studies in the method of disposing of solid waste materials. IT WAS suggested that the performance requests be prepared for approval by the board at its next meeting on March 10 at 5 p.m. in the commission chambers of the Davis County Courthouse.
