County & Town Impacts: <br />Funding from the General Fund would reverse the Board's policy that made Solid Waste <br />and Recycling Services self- supporting. Existing Urban, Rural Curbside, and <br />Multifamily programs would remain in place funded by the County's property tax, which <br />would be paid by all County residents, not just by the residents receiving rural curbside <br />recycling services. An Urban recycling fee would no longer be levied by the Towns and <br />the property tax would generate revenues to fund the programs <br />Financial Impact: <br />General Fund property tax revenues would be appropriated by the Board based on the <br />size and scope of Urban, Rural Curbside, and Multifamily programs. <br />A property tax rate of between 1.4 and 2.0 cents per $100 of assessed value is <br />estimated to provide revenues necessary to fund of Urban, Rural Curbside, and <br />Multifamily programs. Detail service delivery and pricing estimates will be needed to be <br />completed to confirm the estimated costs of services. <br />
