In addition to the housekeeping position, a maintenance <br /> worker and electrical mechanic were included in the recommended budget. <br /> Solid Waste Superintendent Joseph Cherry stated that Solid Waste has a lot of challenges. <br /> The biggest challenge is the unintended use of convenience centers. The other challenge is <br /> taking on programs such as litter control that is estimated to cost about $48,000 over the <br /> next fiscal year. A fee increase was included in the recommended budget and is needed due <br /> to an increase in industry and housing developments. Also included is a study to evaluate <br /> the need for a new convenience center. Recycling has taken a hit over the last few years <br /> particularly with China not taking a lot of the recyclables. The cost is about $132 a ton for <br /> comingled recycling.

Each household that pays the fee would <br /> get two stickers. <br /> ADJOURNMENT <br /> Motion: Motion to adjourn.
