Minutes - Special Meeting <br /> Solid Waste Advisory Board <br /> March 31 , 2009 <br /> Approved May 7, 2009 <br /> by elected officials was the economic benefits of having local employees stay . None of <br /> this is quantified . It is just [a seres of] issues that we were asked to look at in addition <br /> to cost. <br /> Some of the observations and conclusions are . <br /> ■ the longer [ distance] you haul your waste, the higher the risks, vehicle emissions <br /> and costs you have . <br /> ■ The least costly out- of- county option is significantly limited, that' s Durham . <br /> ■ We also point out regardless of out-of-county option the weekend services will <br /> likely require modifications . <br /> Norwood asks on the additional off route costs for all jurisdictions for Hwy 54 in year <br /> 2011 is $172, 000.0 WI / WM is $597, 000 with a difference of $425, 000 . If you multiply <br /> that twice each year in 8 . 5 years guesstimating you will have the 4 . 5 million that is <br /> needed to build the transfer station in savings by not using Waste Industries . Is that <br /> correct? <br /> Reynolds states that, I think what you are doing is looking at accumulated cash flow <br /> over time and over that period of time you would have spent enough money to do <br /> something else with it. That is not an improper analysis it is just a different way of <br /> looking at it. <br /> Norwood asks if WI / WM is used at the $ 600, 000 that would be $1 . 2 million to use <br /> them for a couple of years interim . <br /> Reynolds states that you are looking at the additional off-route costs and that is not <br /> the complete costs . That is not the numbers you should look at. The additional off <br /> route costs are only one component of the total costs . [See the $3 . 5 million v . $3 . 6 <br /> million in year 2011 , in the report see page 2-2 of first tab in the report book to <br /> compare the total impact of cash flow year after year . ] We can show an accumulation <br /> of that fairly easily for Thursday . <br /> Vickers states that on your routing analysis you took the curve routing the trucks, you <br /> didn' t optimize them according to locations of each individual transfer station . Did <br /> you re-route your routing plan in each town, does that make a difference if you do <br /> optimize collections ? <br /> Reynolds states that the reason that we did not look at optimizing the actual route of <br /> the collection part is because routing assessments and efficiencies are very <br /> complicated and beyond the scope of the analysis . It' s not as easy as to say if you are <br /> going to the east in Durham or Wake County ' s transfer station that you would just <br /> end up [your collection route] on the east side of town . The reason that is not the case <br /> 10 <br />
