Wasatch County Solid Waste board sets Dec. 10 public hearing after tentative 2025 budget presentation
Summary
The Wasatch County Solid Waste Disposal District board on Nov. 12 reviewed a tentative 2025 budget showing no transfer-station deficit, noted higher payroll and scale-rate costs, and voted to set a public hearing for Dec. 10 to take public comment.
The Wasatch County Solid Waste Disposal District board reviewed a tentative 2025 budget and voted on Nov. 12 to set a public hearing for Dec. 10.
Speaker 2, presenting the draft, said the transfer station no longer shows a deficit and described two major cost increases: "I had to go up $300,000 more paid in Shane County and our payroll went up with a difference with about 400,000 from last year to this year," and said equipment line items remained largely unchanged. Speaker 3 confirmed the board will schedule a public hearing and make the tentative budget available online in advance of the Dec. 10 meeting.
The board discussed procedural timing for the tentative budget. Speaker 3 said the district usually follows the county's process and that a budget hearing should be held in December; Speaker 2 moved to accept the tentative 2025 budget and set the public hearing for Dec. 10, and Speaker 3 seconded. The motion passed on a voice vote with no recorded opposition in the transcript.
The tentative budget items highlighted in the presentation include: elimination of a previously shown transfer-station deficit, a $300,000 increase tied to county scale-rate payments, and a roughly $400,000 increase in payroll costs year over year. Board members said the tentative document will be posted online for public review before the Dec. 10 hearing.
The board will revisit the budget at the December meeting when public comment is collected and a final budget is adopted.
