2008 SWMD Meeting Schedule
The MARC Solid Waste Management District’s meetings are generally held the third Wednesday of the month at 9:00 a.m. in the MARC offices, 600 Broadway, Suite 200, Kansas City, Mo. The dates and location may change upon discretion of the district chair with proper notice to the members.
Executive Board meetings are held monthly to conduct the regular business of the district. Management Council meetings are held jointly with the Executive Board every other month starting in February. These joint meetings allow better input and topical discussions with the full Management Council. The annual meeting and strategic planning retreat are generally held in lieu of a regular full council meeting.
