source of revenue in the amount of about $$00,000/annually to maintain current services and <br />programs. This need will result from a loss of surplus revenue, over and above operating <br />expenses, generated through C&D tipping fees. If this loss of revenue is accompanied by a <br />commensurate increase in spending associated with the expansion of C&D recycling/waste <br />reduction, further revenue will be required. <br />If a decision is made to initiate a new site search, additional expenses relating to the siting and <br />property investigation will be incurred. Once a preferred site is identified, considerable expense <br />will be required to conduct geotechnical investigations and initiate the permitting process. <br />Funds will also be required to purchase and develop the site. Given that it is unlikely that a new <br />site could be identified, acquired, developed and permitted by the time the existing site reaches <br />capacity, there could be a gap in C&D revenues before the new site is opened. <br />Should the Board of Commissioners decide to approve the Eubanks Road site currently under <br />consideration, funds would be required to purchase and develop the site, however, about 90% <br />of the costs relating to permitting and geotechnical investigation have already been expended <br />for this site. <br />Any funds regarding above expenses would be provided through the Solid Waste/Landfill <br />Operations Enterprise Fund in the "Reserves for Acquisition & Construction". <br />RECOMMENDATION(S): The Manager recommends that the Board determine a course of <br />action on C & D functions by adopting one of the attached resolutions, or variations, thereby <br />providing direction to staff in addressing these functions.
