refunds and releases, he mentioned the revaluation notices would be delivered about mid-February.
REQUEST FROM L. GORDON IRON & METAL FOR REFUND/CREDIT &
RATE REDUCTION: (This matter was continued from the January 5 meeting.) Saul Gordon, and
his nephew Louie, attended the meeting. The Gordons said that automobile shredder fluff was taken
to the baler area of the county's waste facility, and they had assumed the material was being baled.
The company paid $30 per ton for the baling instead of the $12 rate for material that by-passes the
baler. The Gordons said their drivers began noticing that county employees were not baling, and
were instead, just dumping the material into the landfill.
The monetary amount the Gordon family has claimed to be in error is $155,687.76. (This
figure was obtained by using the 8,649.32 net tons of fluff taken to the landfill between March 30,
1998 -August 31, 1998 x $18.00 or the difference between the $30 baler fee and the $12 by-pass
fee.)
Mr. Mashburn said he had obtained a computer printout of when the county baled and did
not bale during the referenced time period. Mashburn said that by giving the Gordon family the
"benefit of the doubt" in trying to estimate how much of an overpayment was made, if any, that he
came up with $49,901.76.
Commissioner Fortner asked Mr. Gordon what his average monthly invoice was for waste
disposal. Gordon said it was $35,000 to $50,000 - - it's normally about $500,000 per year.
Weatherman added the company averaged about 1200 to 1500 tons of waste per month.
