9 <br />FUNDING OPTION 2 <br />• Simplified fee structure <br />• Easier to administer, manage, and explain than the <br />current fee system or Option 3 <br />• Flexibility in providing services without being <br />constrained by rigid categories <br />o Example: If a business is located on a residential <br />route (urban or rural) and generates recyclables in <br />quantities similar to a residence, it can be assigned <br />to a residential route without concern that there is <br />not an appropriate fee category, which would be <br />the case in Option 3. <br />Key Factors <br />• Rural curbside service is not proposed to be expanded in the unincorporated areas. <br />o If rural curbside service were expanded, rural property owner fees would be shifted to the rural <br />curbside fee. <br />• Efforts to provide more equitable services among all the program users could be implemented over time <br />by improving service efficiencies and availability of services. <br />• Rural multi - family property owners, single family property owners and developed non - residential <br />property owners pay more than urban sector property owners: <br />o Rural sector property owners with curbside recycling pay $25 more per unit than urban sector <br />property owners. <br />o Rural sector property owners without curbside recycling pay $7 more per unit than urban sector <br />property owners. <br />Universal Elements for All Options <br />• Undeveloped properties do not pay a fee. <br />• All developed properties including tax - exempt properties pay a fee. <br />• The fee structure is stable and predictable. <br />• Fee impacts for potential service expansions, improvements, and changes can be easily determined and <br />made available for elected boards to consider. <br />• Some property owners may consider the proposed fee rates a significant increase because no fee for rural <br />or urban curbside service or multi - family service has been assessed for the past two years. <br />• Failure of elected boards to approve a funding mechanism for the FY 2015 -16 Budget may lead to <br />suspension of services or further debiting of the solid waste landfill closure and post - closure reserves <br />account. <br />• Orange County will continue to provide financial assistance for qualifying low- income residents who are <br />unable to pay for solid waste program fees. In 2014, approximately 700 parcels were provided assistance <br />through the County's 311 Fee Financial Assistance program. <br />
