Solid Waste director outlines Transfer Station repairs, equipment needs and proposed billing change
Summary
Solid Waste Director Mike Hake told the Cloud County Board the Transfer Station will close for driveway repairs and staff discussed buying a skid steer; the board continued consideration of moving Solid Waste billing to county tax statements with exemptions for properties under $1,000.
Cloud County's Solid Waste operations were a focus of the April 28 meeting as Director Mike Hake outlined forthcoming repairs, safety policy matters and potential billing changes.
Hake reported that the Transfer Station is expected to be closed on Wednesday for driveway repairs, with additional work occurring Tuesday afternoon and Thursday morning. The department is considering purchasing a skid steer for operations. Commissioners discussed seatbelt policy and warnings; Chairman Michael Cleveland said KWORCC (the county's risk pool) would share updated policy wording.
The Board continued discussion about moving Solid Waste billing onto county property tax statements. Under the approach reviewed, residential and commercial properties with a valuation under $1,000 would be exempt. The minutes further note that apartment buildings should be charged the established Solid Waste fee for each apartment unit, including units located above downtown commercial spaces.
No formal policy or billing change was adopted at the meeting; commissioners and staff left the item open for further work and policy wording from KWORCC.
