disposal of solid waste, and
WHEREAS, the Board has determined that the public interest is served by waiving such disposal fees,

WHEREAS, the Board desires to establish a general policy describing the procedures, and

determine the following fiscal year disposal credit distribution.
Section 2. All charges above the amount authorized for the fiscal year identified shall be paid for by

Department.
Section 3. To qualify for fee waivers, an organization must be non-profit and engaged as a primary
form of business in the processing of abandoned goods for sale or reuse. Application must be made to
the Solid Waste Department by April 1 of each year, on a form provided by the department, to qualify
for the following fiscal year.
Section 4. Each year during the budget process the Board will review requests for waiver of fees and

BOARD OF
COMMISSIONERS
MEETING DATE: July 1, 2024
SUBJECT: Proposed Solid Waste Disposal Fee Waivers for Fiscal Year 2025
RECOMMENDED MOTION:
Move approval of Resolution No. 2024-036 approving Solid Waste Disposal Fee Waivers for
Fiscal Year 2025.
BACKGROUND AND POLICY IMPLICATIONS:
The Board of Commissioners has established a policy where non-profit organizations that
reuse or resell used goods, such as thrift stores, are allowed solid waste disposal fee
waivers. Qualified organizations benefit the solid waste system by diverting waste from
disposal at Knott Landfill. The policy establishes a maximum amount of $5,000 for
participating organizations, with an overall funding of $45,000 for the Board authorized
thrift store fee waiver program. For FY24, eleven non-profit organizations have applied for
the program and the department is proposing a total of $41,000 in fee waivers, with six of
the organizations receiving the maximum $5,000 amount (see attached table for historical
use and distribution summary).
In addition to the thrift store fee waivers, the Board has given the Director of Solid Waste
authority to grant fee waivers on a case -by -case basis. Typically, these waivers are granted
to groups doing clean-up projects on public lands or similar efforts. The Solid Waste
Department also works with the Community Development Department to provide fee
waivers to assist in solid waste code enforcement efforts. Additionally, this past Spring the
department began a new program with the Forester to provide fee waivers for the disposal
of materials collected through Fire -Wise Community fuel reduction activities. Through May
of FY24, $2,605, $922, and $2,771.60 in fee waivers were granted for these programs
respectively (see attached table).
The Solid Waste Department is working with a growing number of community groups and
individuals who are conducting cleanup activities on public lands. Due to these increased
demands the department is seeking to modify the authority granted to the Director of Solid
Waste to increase individual event awards to $2,000 per event and a cumulative total of fee
waivers to $10,000 for the fiscal year.
BUDGET IMPACTS:
The fee waivers do not result in any expenditures by the department and are considered
lost revenue.
ATTENDANCE:
Tim Brownell, Director of Solid Waste
