There will be negligible material difference in interest income between the two fee scenarios. k)County Tax Administrator Presentations In response to a SWAG inquiry regarding the County’s property re-evaluation, County Tax Administrator Dwane Brinson has completed formal presentations to the Towns. l)Landfill Gas Recovery Revenue In 2016, the County received $34,773.07 from the University of North Carolina Chapel Hill for landfill gas recovery payments. That amount is down $4,373.49 from FY 2015 and $28,842.55 from FY 2014. Over that span of time the cost per BTU equivalent has gone from $4.43 to $2.65 in 2015 and to $2.44 in 2016, on a monthly average unit cost. In that same time, the methane content has remained steady and there was a 2.25 percent increase in the amount of gas collected. Current year pricing is up compared to the first two months of 2016 and 2015 and indications are that the County may receive more in 2017 than in 2015 but not near what was collected in 2014.
