These fee waivers are for group clean- up of public lands, neighborhood clean-ups of disabled or needy persons property, and waivers for persons under code enforcement actions as a means to obtain voluntary compliance with ordinance. In the period July1, 2016 through June 12, 2017 I have authorized 18 fee waivers for a a total of $4,450 for such efforts. Also, we have a policy of waiving fees for waste generated by County Departments. During the same time period, the following department s have received fee waivers. Building Services $ 747 Road Department $ 7,626 Juvenile Com. Justice $ 3,554 Sheriff $ 265 Adopt -a -Road $ 198 Fair and Expo (Fair only) $ 10.000 Total $ 22,419 TES Deschutes County Board of Commissioners 1300 NW Wall St, Bend, OR 97703 (541) 388-6570 — Fax (541) 385-3202 — https://www.deschutes.org/ AGENDA REQUEST & STAFF REPORT For Board of Commissioners Business Meeting of June 21, 2017 DATE: June 16, 2017 FROM: Timm Schimke, Solid Waste, 541-317-3177 TITLE OF AGENDA ITEM: 1 a Consideration of Board Signature of Number 2017-029, Establishing Solid Waste Disposal Fee Waivers for Fiscal Year 2017-18 PUBLIC HEARING ON THIS DATE?: No CONTRACTOR: Contractor/Supplier/Consultant Name: N/A AGREEMENT TIMEFRAME: Starting Date: July 1, 2017 Ending Date: June 30, 2018 INSURANCE: Insurance Certificate Required: No Insurance Review Required by Risk Management: No BACKGROUND AND POLICY IMPLICATIONS: The Board of County Commissioners has adopted a policy establishing a solid waste disposal fee waiver program for qualified non-profit organizations that are in the business of reselling used goods (thrift stores). These organizations benefit the community in general as well as assist the County in meeting its waste diversion goals and extending the life of the landfill. The policy provides for a maximum amount of waivers per individual organization of $5,000 as well as a maximum total amount of waivers for all participating organizations combined of $40,000. A total of $37,000 in disposal fees will be waived for 11 participating organizations in FY 2017- 18. Fee waiver amounts are allocated based on the amount requested by the thrift store, past disposal history, and limits established in the policy. I have attached a spreadsheet showing current waiver amounts, amounts used through May, amounts requested and proposed amounts to be granted. In addition to this program, the Board has given the Director of Solid Waste the authority to waive fees for individuals or groups that wish to engage in clean-up projects or other beneficial activities that generate waste. I have attached a memo showing those amounts waived to date in the current fiscal year FISCAL IMPLICATIONS: The fee waivers represent lost revenue. The actual amount of fees waived is typically less than the total authorized. ATTENDANCE: Timm Schimke RECOMMENDATION & ACTION REQUESTED: Staff recommends approval of Resolution 2017-029
