Board reviews solid-waste revenues, gate-site fee adjustments and reconciliation timing
Summary
Staff walked through revenue projections, noting commercial disposal and gate-site fee adjustments at larger sites and ongoing reconciliation for June receipts; commissioners asked for clarity on revenue timing and journal entries.
Department staff presented revenue assumptions for the solid-waste enterprise fund and walked commissioners through several line items affecting the revenue projection. Staff said commercial disposal fees include charge-account customers countywide and that June reconciliations are still in process with the treasurer’s suspense account; once reconciled, staff will post journal entries to reflect collected revenue.
Operations staff noted modest increases for larger gate sites such as Idaho Hill and Dickensheet and said unpaid baling revenue from Idaho Hill and Colburn should appear soon. Commissioners asked whether the estimated tonnage (53,000 tons) and the revenue forecast align; staff confirmed the waste-management contract includes a 3% CPI adjustment and that contract terms run through 2028. The board requested line-item notes explaining why some revenue lines increased or decreased compared with past years so that the public and auditors can track causes and trends.
No formal revenue decisions were adopted at the hearing; staff said they will complete reconciliation work and update the published budget materials before the next meeting.
