DISCUSSION HELD BEFORE VOTE
Supervisor Borgos-Explained that this was a recommendation to increase the fee for commercial
haulers not for private citizens. Private citizens will stay $2.00, commercial haulers will go
from $2.00 to $6.00. Wanted to bring this to the public's attention that one area landfill went
to $5.00 per cubic yards which means ours at $2.00 per cubic yards was attractive to people.
We also want to generate more revenue for landfill closure and at the same time encourage
people not to put so much stuff in the garbage. The impact on the typical household who has
somebody else pick up their garbage should be between .15 and .20 cents per week for someone
who has two pails of garbage.
Pliney Tucker-Asked if this could be done without a public hearing?
Supervisor Borgos-Yes.
Mr. Brewer-Asked if the press was going to be aware of this?
Supervisor Borgos-Asked Ms. Kathe to contact press.
