First, the Commissioners asked Tim about his current accounting program as they thought he might be interested in the software program being offered by Incode. He will talk to his Account Clerk to see if she has any issues with the current program.
The September, 2002 District Fee Report is as follows:
In-district tonnage 4,912.94
Out-of-district tonnage 163.22

Total 5,107.05

His office is in the process of hiring an assistant director. Ads have already been placed and will run into November for the position.
November 7th is the District Advisory Committee meeting. The annual waste tracking report will be due then – a very important report that determines the rate of the recycling package.
6,561+ tons and 24,153 cubic yards were brought to the Landfill in September. 35% of the total cubic yards brought in are from Manville. Werlor brought in 67% of the total waste to the Landfill.
Leachate figures are way up due to the installation of the liner. The figures will drastically reduce once covers are placed over waste.
The wetlands/woods issue is still a hot topic. Creating new wetlands is getting pricier. Once thought to be a 2/1 cost, Tim now notes it will be 10/1 – must build a wetlands of higher quality. Also, he can not deal with the woods until he completes the wetlands. Plus, if the wetlands is placed more than a mile from its present location, the price will be higher. Tim is not sure what to put in the budget to cover these issues. As the County only has 7 years remaining in the current landfill space and the wetlands project will take 5 years, there is a time constraint to deal with.
