On the motion of Mr. Dwyer and seconded by Mr. Teeter, Agenda No. 46 (Adopt Cortland County Bloodborne Pathogens Policy and Exposure Control Plan, Personnel/Civil Service Department) was introduced on the floor. Mr. VanDee questioned the meaning of the policy, since it was preventing the Community Work Experience Program participants from being used at the Recycling Center. Chairman Harrington said the County had to follow OSHA plans and County Attorney Knickerbocker told the legislators the OSHA mandates that a policy be in place. Mr. Hurlbut said the policy does not prevent the workers from being assigned to the recycling center. The policy does make it necessary for them to have a series of three hepatitis shots at the approximate cost of one hundred dollars per person and a decision was made that it was cost prohibitive. Mr. VanDee suggested that it would have been appropriate to share that decision with the Solid Waste Committee. When Mr. Forbes asked about providing safety shoes for the work experience participants, Mr. Knickerbocker said they had to be provided with the same equipment as all other workers. Mr. VanDee asked why the safety officer was in charge of the policy? Mr. Knickerbocker said the safety officer was not in charge of the policy, but rather was responsible for maintaining the standards. Mrs. Gailor reminded everyone that Cortland County had been fined in the past for not having the OSHA mandated policy in place. Mr. VanDee made a motion to table Agenda No. 46 and was seconded by Mrs. Contento. Agenda No. 46 was tabled with all members voting aye, except Mr. Boise, Mr. Cornell, Mr. Dwyer, Mr. Forbes, Mrs. Meiczinger, Mrs. Price, Mr. Teeter and Mr. Wern voting nay.
