Board discusses taking back sewer billing, IT cost allocation and contingency for trash-plant changes
Summary
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.
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.
Separately, S3 and others raised questions about contingency plans if the local private trash facility shuts down, noting towns and haulers will need places to take waste. Participants discussed the county compost facility and an existing waste-management plan but said the plan likely needs updating to account for anticipated hauler changes; no formal action on either topic was recorded at the meeting.
