UNFINISHED BUSINESS REQUEST FROM THE COVENANT HOUSE OF STATESVILLE, A 501-3 ORGANIZATION, FOR WASTE DISPOSAL EXEMPTIONS: County Manager Mashburn said that at the last meeting, the Covenant House Executive Director requested a solid waste tipping fee waiver. Mashburn said the landfill operated as an enterprise fund, and a household availability fee had been collected from county residents since the early 1990s. He said through the years, several nonprofit agencies (Fifth Street Ministries, Habitat for Humanity, Salvation Army, Mooresville Christian Missions, & Yokefellow) had been granted fee waivers. Mashburn said the NC Department of Transportation, the NC Wildlife Resources Office, and the departments of Iredell County had also been exempted. He recommended that the same guidelines used for other nonprofits be applied to the Covenant House request. Mashburn said that if the waste material were something that would have already been covered under the household availability fee (listed on tax bills) then disposal at the landfill could occur at no charge. He said people cleaned out their closets, donated items to the nonprofits (Salvation Army, etc.), and then later, the nonprofits sifted through the items and anything that couldn't be used was disposed of at the landfill with the tipping fee being waived. He said that as long as the item would have been included under the availability fee, regardless of what agency brought it in, then the fee should be waived.
