Solid-waste staff said the roll-off container program exceeded its initial budget and asked for roughly $15,000 to continue placement of containers in multiple communities; the commission approved the increase to keep the program running for the remainder of the fiscal year.

Kyle, a county solid-waste staff member, reported that the roll-off (roll off) container program exceeded earlier estimates: the county had budgeted for one container per location per month at a projected cost of about $11,000, but five months into the year usage and placement increased totals and March costs pushed the annual total to roughly $13,000 so far.
