Ken Chavious reviewed the user fees as recommended for the 1989-90 budget year. It was recommended that those fees that have odd cents be rounded upward to the nearest dollar. Discussion ensued on user fees and the implications of increasing these fees. Chairman Carey emphasized that there are a lot of people in this County who do not use any of the services listed but are subsidizing those that are using these services. The County's responsibility to provide certain budgetary items was discussed. Commissioner Halkiotis requested a copy of the statuatory regulations for the Courts. SOLID WASTE The future plans for disposal of solid waste were discussed. It was suggested that prior to choosing a site, the options for disposal of solid waste be publicized in a flyer to be inserted in the area newspapers. Commissioner Halkiotis suggested that the County Government use as many recycled products as possible. Commissioner Hartwell expressed a concern about the door to door pickup and how it would interface with recycling. There are still a lot of questions that need to be answered before final recommendations can be made. NON-DEPARTMENTAL With regard to Orange Chatham Comprehensive Health Services, $10,000 was added to that budget to help offset less state funding. The Schaefer House budget was discussed. It was decided that further discussion on CBA funding and programs would take place before next budget year.
