He said residents can bring mattresses in, at no cost. He said the mattress <br /> 11 brought to Walnut Grove will go to the Durham transfer station, and the ones brought to <br /> 12 Eubanks Road during landfill hours, will be diverted to the landfill at no cost to the resident. He <br /> 13 said if the landfill is closed, the mattresses will be accepted at the Eubanks Road center. He <br /> 14 said there will be no charge for residents, and a $10 fee for commercially generated <br /> 15 mattresses. <br /> 16 Commissioner McKee said this is a very reasonable arrangement, and he is glad to hear <br /> 17 this update. <br /> 18 Gayle Wilson said there will be a marketing push to spread the word about this new <br /> 19 program in January 2018. <br /> 20 Commissioner McKee referred to the fee program, and said $148 is an exorbitant fee, <br /> 21 and it is really a tax, which he opposed from the beginning. <br /> 22 Commissioner Marcoplos asked if Durham charges for mattresses to be brought to the <br /> 23 transfer station. <br /> 24 Gayle Wilson said it is usually a flat rate, unless there is a large amount, in which case <br /> 25 the charge is based on the weight. <br /> 26 Commissioner Marcoplos asked if Gayle Wilson knew how many trips will be involved in <br /> 27 hauling these mattresses to Durham. <br /> 28 Gayle Wilson said about 40 trips in a year. <br /> 29 Chair Dorosin said he would like to get a summary of how much money the County <br /> 30 spends on consultants countywide. <br /> 31 Travis Myren said this would be Gayle Wilson's last budget session, as he will be retiring <br /> 32 in August after 28 years. <br /> 33 Travis Myren resumed the PowerPoint presentation: <br /> 34 <br /> 35 • Sportsplex, Pg. 488 <br /> 36 • Total expenditure budget - $3,570,583 <br /> 37 • Debt Service allocation <br /> 38 • $556,341 paid by Sportsplex <br /> 39 • $168,009 paid by General Fund for original facility purchase <br /> 40 • Program revenue projected at 2.5% increase over FY2016-17 <br /> 41 • Program expenses projection at 0.9% increase over FY2016-17 <br /> 42 <br /> 43 • Non-Departmental, Pg. 398 <br /> 44 • Total expenditure budget - $2,339,465 <br /> 45 • No significant budget changes <br /> 46 <br /> 47 <br /> 48 2.
