Commissioners reviewed residential sticker privileges, yardage charges for non‑sticker customers, and replacement sticker policy. Staff explained the existing practice: a household sticker covers up to three cubic yards per visit; additional volume was previously charged at $20 per additional yard. Commissioners agreed to formalize that: up to three cubic yards are included with a valid household sticker; without a sticker, customers will be charged $20 per yard (one‑yard minimum implied by yarding increments) and there will be no separate $10 minimum fee. Commissioners asked staff to eliminate disparate charges that encourage not buying stickers and to advertise that purchasing a sticker remains the most economical option for frequent users. They also directed staff to remove minimum fees across categories and apply a uniform per‑yard charge where appropriate (for general waste and construction/demolition materials). On stickers, commissioners affirmed a two‑sticker limit per household and discussed replacement stickers for damaged or destroyed stickers (for example, replacement after a windshield replacement). Staff were directed to consult county legal counsel (Bill Wilson) to confirm whether one‑time replacement administrative fees must be published on the official rate sheet or may be treated as an administrative replacement charge with documentation requirements (for example, evidence of windshield replacement or other proof). No formal vote was recorded; the discussion ended with consensus directives to staff to revise the rate table and prepare clear public guidance about what is included with a sticker and the yardage/charge policy for non‑sticker customers.
