He said this chart was completed using only counties that assess a <br /> 28 Solid Waste fee. He said if a county receives funds via the county tax rate, a fee would not <br /> 29 show up in this chart. <br /> 30 Commissioner Price asked if the commissioner approved fee schedule, contained in the <br /> 31 report, is consistent with other counties. <br /> 32 Bob Dick said this is a difficult question to answer definitively as Solid Waste programs <br /> 33 tend to have all sorts of mechanisms and fees assigned. He added that throughout its review, <br /> 34 SCS Enterprises did not see any glaring inefficiencies throughout the entire department's <br /> 35 programs that would warrant a suggestion of improved efficiency. <br /> 36 Commissioner Price asked if there is any particular plan to deal with recycled materials <br /> 37 that are not purchased. <br /> 38 Gayle Wilson said all of their materials are going to market daily in Raleigh, and he said <br /> 39 the County no longer has to pay to have those materials received. He said changes are being <br /> 40 made day-to-day, and a bit of money is being made currently, with the exception of glass. <br /> 41 Commissioner Price asked if there is a way to dispose of glass without a market for it. <br /> 42 Gayle Wilson said there is a market for glass if it is given away. He said it is a difficult <br /> 43 material to run through the machinery, but once it is sorted there is a market, but it is not paid <br /> 44 for. <br /> 45 Commissioner Price said she wanted to insure that the recycling efforts are not in vain. <br /> 46 Gayle Wilson said that County agreements prevent glass from being landfilled. <br /> 47 Bob Dick resumed the PowerPoint presentation: <br /> 48 <br /> 49 Recommended Financial Plan <br /> 50 • Continue General Fund Contribution <br />
