30 <br /> <br /> <br />Operating costs for the High Rock Center are estimated to increase to $50,765 for FY18/19. <br />The increase is due to ongoing electricity costs, and one-time costs associated with the <br />relocation and installation of security cameras and establishment of a temporary site during <br />construction. No new staff is required. <br /> <br />Estimated operational savings of $15,000 will result from a more efficient hauling of waste and <br />recyclables from compactors rather than hauling loose materials. Additionally, tip fees should <br />be reduced due to the fully enclosed waste compactors alleviating water logged, heavier <br />materials caused by the current open-topped dumpsters. <br /> <br />The Neighborhood/District Waste & Recycling Center concept was endorsed by the BOCC in <br />FY 2011-12 providing essential services to all county residential sectors, increasing services <br />and hours at District Centers and helps partially fund the center improvements through <br />increased efficiencies and savings from reduced/reallocated services and hours at the <br />Neighborhood Centers. Staff had proposed that High Rock Road Waste & Recycling Center be <br />the first Neighborhood Center constructed. Stationary compactors are considered Recurring <br />Capital and are reflected as such below. <br /> <br />o High Rock Neighborhood Waste & Recycling Center - $676,428 <br /> First Neighborhood Center - No Large, Bulky Materials (Metal, Clean <br />Wood); Increasing Services and Hours at District Centers <br /> Property Lease Extension Options Pending Board Approval of Project <br />Current Lease Expires June of 2022 <br /> <br />Commissioner Burroughs asked if there is a downside to delaying the High Rock <br />Neighborhood Waste and Recycling Center. <br />Travis Myren said most of this project will be funded via solid waste funds, but some <br />general fund monies are going into the solid waste fund. He said using the enterprise f und <br />money offsets most of this, and he can get the debt service information. <br />Commissioner Burroughs asked if staff could provide an update about the solid waste <br />fund, and the return on recycling. <br />Travis Myren said yes. <br /> <br />o Sanitation Equipment Parking Improvements - $410,000 <br /> Improve Working Conditions with Sheltered Parking, Lighting, and <br />Electricity <br /> <br />Chair Dorosin said he would like to see the costs of the individual vehicles <br />Paul Laughton said they are listed on each individual page by the year, including the <br />vehicle and the cost. <br />Travis Myren said staff can create a summary table. <br /> <br />FY2018-23 Recommended Capital Investment Plan <br />• Next Steps <br />o Document Review <br /> Clerk to the Board’s Office <br /> County Manager’s Office <br /> Orange County Libraries <br /> Orange County Website – orangecountync.gov
