Board flags high dump fees; may seek Solid Waste Board help
Summary
Board members discussed unexpectedly high disposal costs — one member cited roughly $3,000 in dump fees for a recent job — and suggested raising the issue with the county Solid Waste Board and identified local contacts who sit on that board.
Committee member (S2) raised disposal costs and said that in a recent instance "it was like $3,000 in dump fees," noting that when the board spends on facilities projects even relatively small disposal bills can matter.
S3 suggested the issue could be brought to the Solid Waste Board, which meets monthly at the county courthouse in Valley, and named possible contacts — Tom Hagen, Roger and Gary Lindner — as people who could provide information or a potential solution. S2 observed it would be reasonable to ask whether county buildings receive a discount.
Why it matters: high disposal fees add to project costs and could change budgeting for repairs or replacement projects; the board indicated it would explore interagency options rather than absorb higher fees without inquiry.
