Summary
The Wasatch County Solid Waste Disposal District approved four resolutions setting the 2025 meeting calendar, holidays and ineligible collection days and adopted a 2025 budget with roughly $7.3 million in expenditures, about $7.63 million in revenues and an estimated $647,000 carryover.
The Wasatch County Solid Waste Disposal District voted to adopt its 2025 public meeting calendar, holiday schedule, rules for ineligible (off‑schedule) collection days and the district’s 2025 budget during a routine meeting.
Unidentified Speaker 2, meeting facilitator, opened the session and led approval of Resolution 24‑01 to adopt the district’s 2025 public meeting schedule and Resolution 24‑02 approving the 2025 holiday schedule. The board then approved Resolution 24‑03, which lists ineligible off‑schedule collection days so crews will make up routes when a holiday falls on a Monday.
"It's not a policy. It's just a resolution that they know," said Unidentified Speaker 1, the staff presenter, describing the purpose of the ineligible‑days resolution as a written reminder for collection crews rather than a new personnel policy. Unidentified Speaker 2 summarized the procedural approvals by saying, "We got our meetings set. Now we have to go to work."
Staff then presented the district’s 2025 budget proposal. "The 2025 budget's not really a lot of difference. We're about $329,000 more," said Unidentified Speaker 1, who outlined the major drivers of the increase: a local agreement tied to higher scale prices at the Duchesne County landfill, modest increases in employee-related costs and a new online service previously managed through county processes.
The presenter gave these headline numbers: total expenditures of about $7,308,000 and projected revenues of about $7,630,000, producing an estimated positive carryover of approximately $647,000 for the coming fiscal year. Staff also noted a recent property purchase behind the airport of roughly $694,000 and said the district plans to place funds in a reserve toward a master plan the presenter estimated at about $15,000,000.
Board members asked for clarification about year‑over‑year expenditures and were told that the property purchase and the change in landfill scale fees account for the bulk of the increase. The board opened and closed the required public hearing on the budget with no public speakers recorded.
Unidentified Speaker 4 moved to approve Resolution 24‑04 adopting the 02/2025 budget; the motion was seconded and approved by voice vote. The board completed a final motion to adjourn and ended the meeting.
