The commissioners were scheduled to discuss the issue again at the May 11 meeting.
One of the issues they will consider is whether to change the structure of the fee from an enterprise fund, meaning the management and disposal of all county trash must make money, or at least break even, according to a previous News-Record article. I would like to see consideration of changing the structure of the solid waste services from the enterprise fund-based fee to a property tax-based general fund fee, Steph McCullough said during public comments on the April 13 commissioners meeting. Reverting to a tax would make the cost of trash disposal much more equitable for everyone, and it would be much more straightforward, while at the same time exempting nonprofits.
