Board approves convenience-center decal program; county to include decals in personal-property bill mailing to save postage
Summary
Supervisors authorized production and mailing of about 35,000 household decals through American Solutions for Business; including decals with personal-property tax bills will reduce separate mailing costs and save an estimated $10,650 in postage.
Staff presented a convenience-center decal proposal to the Board of Supervisors on Aug. 14 designed to provide household refuse access decals for county residents.
The plan brought forward by county staff would produce roughly 35,000 windshield decals and include two decals with each personal-property tax bill mailing (estimated 16,000 bills). The remaining decals would be returned to the county for distribution to households omitted from the mailing or with additional vehicles. Vendor cost estimates submitted by American Solutions for Business were $5,110 for production, about $3,238 for postage when included with the tax mailing, and a small shipping cost for returns, for a total estimated cost around $5,488 if included with tax-bill mailings. Staff said separate mailing of the decals later would add roughly $10,650 in postage costs.
Board members approved moving forward with American Solutions for Business to print and include the decals in the personal-property bill mailing. The board also approved staff to finalize a decal policy and begin implementation; staff will avoid using a color already in use by neighboring counties.
Ending: Staff will proceed with vendor production and inclusion in the upcoming personal-property tax mailing; additional decals will be held for county distribution to households that need replacements or additional stickers.
