Greene County solid waste board moves to amend tire-disposal fees after brief public hearing

The Greene County Solid Waste Management District board opened a public hearing on a proposed resolution to set tire-disposal fees and discussed proposed rate increases before moving to amend Exhibit A of the resolution.

Board members said local contractor prices and rising fuel costs motivated the adjustment. One member noted seeing tire charges “closer to seven bucks in some places,” and proposed raising district fees above $4 to provide a margin for escalating costs. After reviewing line items, a board member moved to amend Exhibit A to set passenger tires at $5, rims at $8 and the semi/super single smaller front tire at $10; the motion to adopt the resolution as amended was made on the floor. The transcript records the motion and a second but does not include a recorded roll-call or final tally in the available segments.

The hearing drew no public testimony. District officials said they reviewed various tire categories — including front tractor tires, super singles and rim charges — and discussed per-inch pricing for rear tractor tires. Some line items under Exhibit A (for example, super-single front tire and rim charges) were adjusted during the discussion. The board did not receive public input during the hearing and resumed regular business after concluding the item.

The amendment was discussed during the meeting record as “Resolution 26-Y” with Exhibit A updated to reflect the proposed rates; the transcript does not show a formal, recorded vote in the provided segments, so the outcome is not specified here. The board continued with financial and operational items after the hearing.

What happens next: The transcript indicates the board moved the resolution as amended but does not record a final tally in the available segments; any final adoption, effective date or administrative implementation steps were not specified in the material provided.
