M Comprehensive Solid Waste Program Fee for all Rural units - $118 /year (based on FY 14/15 budget revenue requirement). Option 1 would establish an urban fee and a rural fee that would be applied to each developed property and multi - family units throughout the county, including tax exempt properties, except for UNC -CH properties that are served by the University's separate recycling program. Option 1 would incorporate an approximate 33% solid waste convenience center costs into the Urban fee component and an approximate 66% solid waste convenience center costs into the Rural fee component. Option 2 is a Single Comprehensive Fee - $103 /year (based on FY -14/15 budget revenue requirement) that would be applied equally to all developed properties and multi - family units throughout the county, including tax exempt properties, except for UNC -CH properties that are served by the University's separate recycling program. Option 2 would evenly distribute solid waste convenience center costs across all sectors. Further details of the two options are provided in the attachments. It is important that a funding decision be made in a timely manner given that such funding would have to be incorporated into the Fiscal 2015/16 budget currently being crafted, and in order for County Tax Administration and Solid Waste Management Departments to complete the various preparations necessary to meet the 2015 tax billing schedule. The SWAG, based on recommendations by staff, has indicated that a final decision should be reached by the end of April to allow time for implementation into the budget process and for the fee to be ready for billing on the 2015 property tax bills. Town and County SWAG representatives requested that each elected board discuss and fully consider each option prior to the March 26 joint meeting. Town and County staffs are available to explain the fee options and to respond to questions.
