The primary reason for the decrease is that the large capital outlay during 1998-99 associated with taking commercial glass and dropoff recycling in-house will not be repeated during 1999-2000. This base request provides for maintenance of existing services with some marginal additions to existing programs. Highlights of the proposed budget include the following: • Personnel service costs increase relative to current year's staffing, by $14,400 to accommodate a full year of two new staff compared to the original 1998-99 budget that had 1.5 person-years for new hires. New staff and equipment purchased in 1998-99 enable in-house collection and processing of all materials from dropoff sites including mixed paper and commercial glass and cans. • Funds for outreach services (i.e. postage, printing and advertising) are decreased 1.1.2% ($4,450) below the original 1998-99 budget; the request for next year allows for one county-wide mailing to all residences and . businesses; ongoing advertising campaigns include special advertising for household hazardous wastes, ' collection route changes,'and special recognition programs e.g. for businesses on glass and food recycling routes.
