Commission approves 5% rate increase for Findlay Buttes landfill customers without contracts
Summary
The Morrow County Board of Commissioners approved a 5% across-the-board rate increase for customers using the Findlay Buttes landfill who do not have existing contracts.
The Morrow County Board of Commissioners voted to approve a 5% rate increase for disposal services at the Findlay Buttes landfill for customers who do not already have contracts with the facility.
Eric, presenting the request, said the increase applies only to non-contracted customers and that county and some contractors already have separate contracts. Eric supplied a rate-comparison spreadsheet and an example fiscal-impact section showing how the 5% increase would affect typical customers.
Commissioners asked whether the increase applied to transfer-station deliveries or only to direct landfill users; Eric clarified the increase applies to landfill users, not transfer stations. A motion to approve the updated price schedule was moved and seconded and carried by voice vote.
No specific dollar amounts for the county-wide revenue impact were provided in the public discussion; Eric’s materials included examples in the fiscal-impact section.
