Roxborough Village board weighs options for trash service and billing
Summary
The board reviewed survey results showing HOAs interested in district-managed trash service, discussed billing and collection concerns, rejected funding it via property taxes, and directed Director Glass to ask the Douglas County Assessor whether a fee could be billed with property tax statements.
Director Ephram Glass reviewed follow-up survey results that showed multiple HOA boards expressed interest in the District taking over trash service. The Board discussed how billing and collection would work, noting that using trash vendors for billing would reduce the potential savings to residents by transferring billing work to vendors.
The minutes do not record direct quotations. The Board reached consensus that property taxes should not be used to fund trash service. The Board directed Director Glass to contact the Douglas County Assessor to determine whether a fee could be collected from residents alongside property tax bills (staff to report back on feasibility and legal requirements). The discussion emphasized the need to avoid creating a large new collection/administration burden for District staff.
