Board discusses multi-year reserve targets, pacing and rate implications for GreenBox rollout

Sep 17, 2026

Members examined reserve forecasts and implementation timing: staff and board discussed targets of $200,000–$250,000 in reserves, options to add $100,000–$200,000 annually, and the possibility that a $200 annual reserve target equates to roughly a $16 rate increase in modeling.

The full story

Board members debated how quickly the county could raise sufficient reserves to buy compactors and complete the GreenBox implementation. The modeling scenarios discussed assumed a multi-year build of reserves (examples given: current reserves around $200,000–$250,000, with annual additions of $100,000–$200,000) and staggered procurement across north and south regions to achieve efficiencies.
