The SWAB <br />recommendation (See Attachment D) recognized that implementation of such a <br />fundamental change of solid waste financing (although some change is inevitable) would <br />likely take 2 -3 years to fully implement. They therefore further recommended that an <br />interim funding mechanism be implemented the first year of a minimum $30 per <br />residential unit availability fee.
