Tom Mahoney, general manager for Republic Services, said he learned the ordinance had been sent back to the Materials Management Planning Committee for review and urged the committee to wait for that committee’s recommendation. He said prior estimates from administration put revenue needs at “about a million and a half,” questioned how funds would be used beyond one‑time events, warned the ordinance would make disposal sites act as tax collectors, and expressed concern that higher per‑ton fees could push volume out of Ottawa County.
