Greene County solid-waste board reviews September financials; notes grant timing and rising costs
Summary
The board reviewed September financial statements showing receipts from recycling fees, disbursements for operations and a current balance. Members noted some expense categories rising year-over-year and that state reimbursement for a tire-recycling grant had not arrived.
The Greene County Solid Waste Board reviewed its September financial statement and accepted the report. The treasurer reported the account began the month with $123,564.94, received recycling/trash fees of $3,386, and had total disbursements of $12,009.47, leaving a reported current balance near $97,006.13 as of the report.
Board members and the treasurer discussed year-over-year trends. The treasurer said she compared disbursements from 2020 through 2025 and noted several expense categories are higher than this time last year, and that tire disposal costs have increased notably. She said one county grant related to recycling had been paid; however, a state reimbursement for the current year had not yet arrived. At one point Speaker 2 asked, “You haven't gotten the state yet?” and the treasurer replied the state reimbursement was not yet received for the year.
Other line items discussed included an audit expense charged by the state board of accounts (noted as roughly $5,000 of an increase) and a small rise in insurance costs. Trash disposal costs were reported lower year-to-date at roughly $5,000.
The board moved and approved the financial statements and the claims for the period by voice vote.
Why it matters: The statement summarizes operating cash and recent spending trends for the county solid-waste operation, flags that some costs are rising, and highlights an outstanding state reimbursement for a tire-recycling grant that could affect cash flow.
