AGENDA REQUEST & STAFF REPORT
For Board Business Meeting of July 2, 2008
Please see directions for completing this document on the next page.
DATE: June 11, 2008
FROM: Timm Schimke Department of Solid Waste 317-3177
TITLE OF AGENDA ITEM:
Consideration of Board Signature of Resolution Number 2008-060 Establishing Solid Waste Disposal
Fee Waiver amounts for the 2008-2009 Fiscal Year
PUBLIC HEARING ON THIS DATE? No
BACKGROUND AND POLICY IMPLICATIONS:
The Board of County Commissioners has estblished a policy of waiving limited amounts of disposal
fees for non-profit organizations that are in the business of reselling used items (thrift stores.). These
organizations provide a benefit to the community as well as assist the Department of Solid Waste to
achieve the waste diversion goals set by the State of Oregon. Established disposal fee waiver limits
consist of a maximum of $5,000 for an individual organization as well as an overall $30,000 limit for
the program. Total fees to be waived in 2008-2009 total $25,200. Only one organization is limited by
the $5,000 limit. All others will receive the amount of waivers they have requested. One of the large
thrift stores in Bend has closed which is the main reason that the proposed fee waiver total is less than
this fiscal years amount. I have attached a table showing the current fee waiver amounts compared to
the proposed amounts.
FISCAL IMPLICATIONS:
The fiscal impact of the program is realized as unearned revenue. It is unlikely that the departments
operating costs are impacted by the amount of waste accepted through the fee waiver program, so there
is no "out of pocket' expense associated with the program.
RECOMMENDATION & ACTION REQUESTED:
This program works well. We have seen most of the participating organizations adopt practices to limit
the amount of material thay eventually do bring to the landfill. I recommend signature of Resolution
Number 2008-060
ATTENDANCE: Timm Schimke.
