SOLID WASTE FEES for the 2022-2023 Fiscal Year were analyzed during a special meeting for Sierra County Board of Supervisors on Wednesday, June 29th. Assessor Laura Marshall declared they had a perfectly balanced budget but if the $400,000 rollover wasn’t there and they had to close a $200,000 hole it would push the fee from $18.38 to $22.50 which would be a fairly decent increase for 18 loose cubic yards. The County does not yet know if Intermountain Disposal will increase fees due to fuel costs. Supervisor Lee Adams asked the Board based on those numbers if a minimal increase should be considered. In 2020, the Board adopted a $5 decrease. An increase of $2 would offset any large increase they might see next year. Adams made a motion of intent to adopt the Resolution and adopt a $2 per unit charge making the solid waste fee $20.38 for 18 loose cubic yards. The motion passed unanimously. A public hearing will be held at a special meeting Tuesday, August 23rd at 10 a.m. in Downieville. Teleconference will be available.
