SOLID WASTE COLLECTION FEES - TAX ROLLS
The assessment amount that appears on the tax rolls is a typical twelve month
assessment. It is the basis for all future assessments and is consistent with
the previous years rates with adjustments as allowed in the basic agreement.
There'was a significant item that came to our attention late in the assessment
process and some items that required additional negotiations and could not be
finalized in time to make the tax role deadline. These unresolved issues
totaled approximately $54,000. While we have just recently approved some
items there are two significant items that may require an additional four to
six weeks to finalize.
Knowing that these issues were pending I recommended to Council an assessment
rate that was for the full twelve months. Because Great Western Reclamation
had previously billed for the months of July and August the full assessment
generated sufficient revenues to mitigate the outstanding items. In the event
that there are surplus funds at the end of the fiscal year they will be used
to offset next years allocation.
While the claim has been made that there exists a double billing I feel that
it is more appropriate to say that there are amounts due prior to June 30, in
some cases back to July 1, 1985, for services received but will not be paid
until some time during this fiscal year.
In summary the following items justify the assessment as made and maintain the
integrity of the current rate structure:
Negotiated items to be completed-
Unit count $41,000
Retroactive landfill fees 13.000
2. The basic rate is consistent with structure of previous years.
3. Any surplus available at 06-30-86 can be credited to following year.
