County begins audit of trash accounts after 76 extra cans found
Summary
County Manager Thomas Weaver told commissioners staff are auditing residential garbage accounts after identifying 76 accounts with an extra trash can that is not being charged; staff will contact account holders to determine whether the cans were not returned after tenant move‑outs or are administrative errors.
County Manager Thomas Weaver told the Sept. 3 meeting that county staff have started an audit of residential garbage accounts and have identified 76 accounts with an extra trash can for which there is no record of payment.
"We are beginning to audit the garbage accounts with two trash cans, we found seventy‑six that have an extra can," Weaver said during the meeting. He described staff outreach to determine whether the extra cans reflect residents failing to return cans after a tenant move‑out or clerical errors in account records. The minutes indicate the county will call account holders to resolve discrepancies; the minutes do not record any immediate policy change or proposed fee adjustment.
There was no recorded vote on the audit item. The minutes note the audit is part of routine account reconciliation and that staff will follow up with affected customers.
