1 <br /> 2 <br /> Under the agreement between the three owning governments, all changes to landfill fees must be <br /> approved by all three governing boards before they can be implemented. During the remaining seven <br /> months of FYI 996-97, Orange County's expected tonnage for disposal at the landfill is in the range of <br /> 6,000 - 8,000 tons. If all three governing boards approve the tipping fee increase, this could lead to <br /> unanticipated additional solid waste disposal costs of$12,000 - $16,000. It is possible that this <br /> additional cost may be able to be absorbed in the Public Works budget, so no appropriation from <br /> contingency funds is recommended at this time. However, it is possible in view of higher than <br /> anticipated tonnages during the first part of the fiscal year(e.g. food spoilage from Hurricane Fran), <br /> that staff may have to recommend a contingency appropriation later on in the fiscal year to cover the <br /> increased costs of solid waste disposal for the balance of FY 1996-97. <br /> RECOMMENDATION(S): The Manager recommends that the Board approve the increase in the <br /> mixed solid waste and construction& demolition debris tipping fees from$31.00 per ton to $33.00 per <br /> ton, effective December 1, 1996. <br />
