SOLID WASTE MANAGEMENT DEPARTMENT BUDGET REQUEST - <br />SUMMARY Budget Page <br />~4~ # <br />Add Items <br />The prospective add items and impact on the tipping fee for the 1999/00 fiscal <br />year include: <br />• Construction of recycling site at Southern Village ($1.07); <br />• Expansion of rural curbside recycling collections ($0.43); <br />• Addition of enforcement personnel for C8D waste ordinance ($0.50) <br />• Use of Work First employee(s) at landfill ($0.20) <br />• Engineering/supervision work for Mat'Is Recovery Facility (MRF) ($0.34) <br />NOTE: These add items are ~ included in the proposed $39.OO/ton 48-49 <br />tip fee. <br />Other <br />No funding has been included in the proposed budget for implementation of the <br />Integrated Solid Waste Management Plan. Many decisions regarding <br />implementation of the Integrated Solid Waste Management Plan are still to be <br />determined. Staff have assumed that these decisions will be not be reached <br />until after organizational issues have been resolved, thereby delaying further <br />implementation. 7 <br />The $2,000 funding request from the Triangle J Council of Governments (TJCOG) for <br />development of a long-term regional strategy for solid waste management, if approved, can be <br />accommodated through the undesignated reserve account. <br />No funding has been allocated in the 1999-00 budget for community benefits. If it is determined <br />that these benefits can be legally funded through use of landfill revenues, and if governments <br />decide to use LOG funds, the option to borrow from reserve funds would be available. It is <br />assumed that no significant expenditures would be required during this fiscal year due to the time <br />required for system design, etc., thereby providing the opportunity for staff and elected officials to <br />determine the appropriate funding mechanism, and inclusion in the 2000-01 FY budget. <br />G:ISHARED\WFENTON\WASTE\POLICY\LOGILF_BGTt.DOC Printed: 05/12/99 <br />
