DAVID M. GRIFFITH SALARY PLAN ADOPTED: Mr. Mashburn said the
recommendation made to adopt the David M. Griffith study needs to
be approved by the board. This study was included in the budget

ADOPTION OF 93-94 EDDGETs Commissioner Boone said he had one
proposed amendment to the budget.
On page 7 of the Budget Ordinance, Section 17, having to do
with the Solid Waste Enterprise Fund. Request to eliminate "non-
residential" in the fourth line, for $27 per ton for solid waste.
Eliminate the sentence at the bottom that says "A Waste Disposal
fee of $18 per real property household " This establishes the
household availability fee, and then adjust the schedule at the
bottom to reflect these changes.
What that would do, Boone said, would charge the $27 per ton
tipping fee on all weight deposited at the landfill and eliminate
the household availability fee of $18.
Chairman Haire asked if he would like to put this in the form
of a motion, and Commissioner Boone said it was in the form of a
motion.
MOTION from Commissioner Boone to delete the household
availability fee of $18 charged on the tax bills for every
household and charge $27 per ton for all solid waste received at
the landfill.
In discussion of the motion, Commissioner Madison said he was
very sympathetic with Mr. Boone's remarks, but when the fee was set
up two years ago, it was stated in would be a nightmare trying to
collect and handle the problem as the solid waste comes into the
landfill. Madison said if a more reasonable approach could be
brought up, he would be glad to listen. He thought it would put
the emphasis back on recycling and make it an availability fee.
However, he is still waiting for a better idea.
Commissioner Boone said it has been suggested that people be
allowed to buy stickers for the vehicles used to bring solid waste
to the landfill. It could be looked at over the coming year.
VOTING ON MOTION: Ayes - 1 (Boone)
Noes - 4 (Haire, Hamby, Madison, Stewart)
Chairman Haire inquired if there were further questions about
the budget ordinance before the board adopts.
Commissioner Madison said he would like to make an amendment
and would preface it by saying that we have had some discussions
with the schools, but there seems to be an awful lot of frustration
with the lack of communications among the school boards within the
county and among the county commissioners. The state has cut the
schools back and the federal government is cutting back, yet the
schools come to the county and want the county to increase their
budgets. I am not fully satisfied at this point that that's what
we need to do. I understand where they are coming from, and I want
