James requested revenue numbers on the compactor that is in place at Cash & Carry. Mark Armstrong stated we could expect receiving about $250.00 per month. James stated he is very supportive of this program – however – this program should not be a cost to the county.
Jane mentioned that this program is keeping costs down because Walker and Simmons do not have to haul as much garbage. She is requesting money as a back up – not for profit, but just to help defray the cost.
Jim Rehder explained that there should be some funding from the county to help with this program. Questioned how much money is needed.
Skip stated we have to watch how we handle this due to Walco and Simmons contract – if county pays money – then this is not fair to our contractors for hauling garbage who may be interested if county pays money.
Jim said he is open to approximately $2,000 if this is needed in addition to the $3,000 grant they will receive.
