Chairman Walker referred the $oard to Item 11 of the Agenda: (Adoption of Nsw Landfill rates: The scales at the Countywide Landfill have now been in operation long enough to allow aslculation of a rate based on tonage rather than volume.) The County Administrator presented the following: LANDFILL RATES In determining s landfill rata schedule b&aed on weight, little "hard data" are available. Because this will be the first public landfill in the state to charge on the basis of weight, schedules in other municipalities were of no value. As a result the proposed rate schedules are based primarily on volume charges which were converted to dollars per ton. According to these computations, regular trash disposal charges average $1.89 par ton. At this rate revenues generated would match those of last. year. In light of the deficits incurred by the landfill.last Sear and the tentative nature of this figure, it is proposed that the standard rate per ton be set at $2.00. The current landfill rat®a also fail to reflect the varying costa of processing certain typsa of trash. For example, loads of stumps and logs are more difficult to process than is regular trash because theg are not compactable. In addition to the fact that they take up more space, customers have the option of disposing of this material elsewhere since no sanitation problems are involved. Therefore, it is proposed that the rate for stumps and loge and other materials of this nature be set at $4.OD per ton. This doubled rate reflects the opinion of landfill personnel that disposal of these non-compaatable, bulky materials is at least twice sa time/apace consuming. Charges for trash dropped off in cars and pick-up trucks would remain as is ($1.00 and ~y2.00 respectively),
