regarding tipping fee waivers.
Commissioner Johnson voiced concerns due to the solid waste department having
an enterprise fund. He said property tax did not pay for the landfill. Johnson said the
facility had to generate a profit to create the capital reserve necessary to close the cells,
when up to capacity, and to have enough revenue to open a new landfill. He said the
solid waste bond resolutions had language that specifically addressed the need to have
"sound business" practices. Mr. Johnson said he couldn't go along with an "open ended
obligation."
Chairman Tice said the county's citizens, who donated items to the nonprofits, had
already paid the $26 per year solid waste availability fee, and this was why she concurred
with the county manager's recommendation.
