Commissioner Jacobs said that he would like to see a number because it is a health and safety issue. Commissioner Jacobs asked about the latest version of a CIP for the Solid Waste Enterprise Fund. Gayle Wilson said that he submits a capital improvement plan every year, and it is a ten-year plan. The plan two years ago was that when the NC 57 site was rebuilt, that a household hazardous waste service would be part of it. This has been postponed indefinitely. He said that he would be glad to put together a memo to indicate what it would take to handle the incandescent bulbs. Commissioner Pelissier asked about the revisions of fees (page 39-12-Proposed Fee Changes for FY 2009-10—Solid Waste Enterprise Fund) and asked if fees are considered on a yearly basis. She would like to stay on top of revisions of fees for all departments. • Tax Assessor including Revaluation Tax Assessor John Smith said that this has been a challenging year. He said that he has appreciated how the Board of County Commissioners has handled the challenge and supported him. He introduced Judy Ryan, Deputy Tax Assessor. Commissioner Jacobs asked if the County would have to budget some money every year if there would be assessments every other year. John Smith said that he would ask for additional resources. Commissioner Jacobs asked John Smith if he was comfortable with a four-year cycle and John Smith said yes, but a shorter cycle would be viable. Commissioner Jacobs said to add this to the list to discuss in the fall. Commissioner Hemminger asked about the additional mailings about the revaluation and if it was cost-effective.
