Board reviews Solid Waste scale-house plan; modular unit cost differs from budget line

Supervisor J. David Emert asked whether the proposed new Solid Waste scale house would occupy the same location; County Administrator Douglas P. Stanley said the plan is to place the modular scale house in the middle of the access road to allow service from both sides and to use the current scale house during construction to minimize downtime. Although the budget lists $26,000 for a new scale house line item, Mr. Stanley said the modular unit itself is estimated at $125,000–$150,000 and that entrance improvements and a new septic system will be the larger expenses.
