Board discusses taking back sewer billing, IT cost allocation and contingency for trash-plant changes

Sep 2, 2026

Members discussed the county potentially taking back sewer billing, which historically produced about $56,000 in payments that supported IT/payroll; concerns were raised about developing a fair formula for allocation. Separately, members queried contingency plans if a private trash/compost plant closes.

The full story

Committee members and staff debated whether the county should resume sewer-billing collection from the sewer district, and how that change would affect a roughly $56,000 annual payment that has historically supported IT and payroll costs. "That's the only money that county gets from the sewer district for IT payroll...I don't think the $56,000 totally goes away," said a committee member (S3), urging the group to develop a formula for fair allocation.
