He addressed Commissioner Gordon's questions and said historically the debt service was paid from the general fund and there is still a small transfer to cover it, but this is being evaluated again as the Sportsplex becomes more profitable. Commissioner Gordon asked how much is currently being transferred. Clarence Grier said this amount was about $500,000 this past year. Chair Jacobs said the County should do a press release when the Sportsplex membership reaches 5,000. Commissioner Gordon asked if the general funds transfer will be $500,000 this year as well. Clarence Grier said if things keep going the way they are, there will likely not be a need to transfer more than $100,000 4200,000. Commissioner Gordon said it would still be good to include this. Solid Waste Paul Laughton referred to page 78 of the CIP. He referred to the highlights on the abstract on page 12 and reviewed the following: - Sanitation - includes funds of $2,428,283 in Year 1 (FY 2014 -15) for Solid Waste Convenience Center (SWCC) improvements at the Eubanks Road site (the cost has increased by approximately $1.1 million from the current FY 2013 -18 CIP due to the movement of the scale house operations and associated site improvements, extending water and sewer to the site, additional stormwater structures, purchase of two additional stationary compactors, and a larger household hazardous waste building). Year 1 also includes $206,944 for the replacement of a Hook Lift truck; Year 2 includes $495,000 for SWCC improvements at the High Rock Road site; and Year 3 includes $340,000 for SWCC improvements at the Ferguson Road site. Years 6 -10 includes $212,028 for SWCC improvements at the Bradshaw Quarry site. Commissioner Gordon asked for some elaboration on the cost increase for Eubanks Road. Gail Wilson said staff moved the scales and the entrance structure to the north side of the road. He said this allowed more efficient traffic flow and better safety by eliminating the need for a road crossing. Commissioner Gordon asked how much it costs to move the scales. Gayle Wilson said a new scale costs about $150,000, but the road infrastructure has to be taken farther back and this is also a cost. He said this also moves a significant operation further away from Rogers Road, which will improve community impact to the south. He said the other component is the extension of water and sewer to the north side. He said there will be two additional compacters and two additional z -wall slots. He said there are many components, but most of the cost has to do with the movement of the scales and the entranceway. Commissioner Price asked about the maintenance of the land fill and why it does not show up in the CIP. She said this has to be maintained for 30 years. Gayle Wilson said it must be maintained for a minimum of 30 years or perhaps longer. He said the County intends to do this, and hopefully the reserves will pay for a significant portion of this for several years into the future. He said there is continued ground water monitoring, and gas monitoring for a minimum of 30 years. He said the University's landfill gas recovery system will be operating there for at least 25 years. Commissioner Price asked where this item shows up. Clarence Grier said the landfill is part of the operating budget, not the CIP.
