Meeting 108

Secretary

  • Guðjón Ingi Eggertsson Local Agenda 21 Project Manager

  1. General presentations

    • US060042 – Designations under the general plan and the Nature Conservation Act

      Landscape architect Thráinn Hauksson will attend and present proposals for the boundaries of the areas proposed for protection. This was previously on the agenda for the 107th meeting but was postponed then.

      UHN/Sd 21 thanks Þráinn for the presentation. The committee postpones its decision on the matter. The committee requests that the proposals be presented to the Planning and Building Committee. In view of the increased demand for the upland area, the committee considers it timely to look at the area as a whole by drawing up a framework plan.

    • 0709092 – Municipal advocacy in waste management

      Submission from the Association of Icelandic Municipalities, dated 30 August 2007, on the advocacy of municipalities in waste management. The Planning and Construction Committee referred the submission to UHN/Sd 21 for comment at its 176th meeting on 15 September 2007.

      The committee encourages the municipality to participate in the project.

    • 0709235 – Agenda 21, advisory

      Letter from the project manager of the Local Agenda 21 in Iceland was presented.

      Presented for information.

    • 0709210 – End of trail, preservation of lava cave, grant application

      Letter from Árni B. Stefánsson dated 07.09.2007, requesting a grant of kr. 250,000 for the preservation of the cave Leiðarenda. The Town Council referred the matter to UHN/Sd 21 for consideration at its meeting 3183 on 27 September 2007.

      UHN/Sd 21 welcomes the initiative of Árni B. Stefánsson to protect the cave and recommends that the project be supported. The committee also requests to be kept informed of the project's progress.

    • 0709256 – Environment Forum 12-13 October 2007, nature conservation and biodiversity

      Two representatives from UHN/Sd 21 will attend the conference.

    • 0709069 – South Coast Road, proposal from the town council of 4th September, referred to the Environment Committee/Local Agenda 21

      The Local Agenda 21 Project Manager is reviewing the matter.

      UHN/Sd 21 is surprised that the matter was not referred to her before a decision was taken. Her opinion is of no consequence once a permit has already been granted and the investigation has begun. The Committee hopes, however, that the Highways Agency's final arrangements will be satisfactory.
