The Amador County Board of Supervisors on Tuesday tabled a request from ACES Waste Services to hear about legal implications in a future closed session. The issue was tabled for a week after County Attorney Martha J. Shaver said any discussion she had on the matter with the supervisors should be held in closed session. Paul Molinelli Sr., owner of ACES Waste Service, requested that his household waste hauling service be allowed to haul 40 tons of waste a week to a Pine Grove transfer station, rather than making a trip to the Amador Disposal Service transfer station on Buena Vista Road in Ione. Larry Peterson of Amador Public Works said that last February, ACES requested a change in a 1999 franchise agreement. Molinelli addressed the board and said he believed the contract allows ACES the right to haul waste to the Buena Vista Road facility but the contract does not obligate ACES to do so. He said the change would only involve waste collected in the city of Jackson. “The Jackson contract says that we must seek out the least expensive waste disposal site,” Molinelli said. He also had a letter from the city of Jackson in support of the change. Jason Craft of Amador Disposal Service said his volume this year is already down 30 percent from totals in 2007-2008, adding that “if it falls again, we will have to raise rates.” Board Chairman Richard Forster said he saw the move by ACES as common sense, considering that the company operates from Pine Grove and seeks to use a transfer station there. Forster, a resident of Ione’s District 2, said he would support the change even if it meant he also had to pay more. The Board asked Shaver if she saw any problems in changing the contract and Shaver said the matter should be discussed in closed session. Forster then said the board should postpone the matter a week, and schedule the closed session for next week.
